UK hardware lab

Stock from the bench.
Firmware and wipes, quoted in writing.

Browse inventory or email make, model, and what you need. We confirm scope, send a fixed price, and deliver a lab report when the work is done.

  • SPI flash access
  • Ring −2 review
  • NIST 800-88 wipe
  • Integrity report
  • BMC / TPM checks

[01] INVENTORY

Documented stock

Servers and networking with lab notes where applicable—suitable for resale or redeployment.

[02] AUDIT

One device at a time

Firmware review, recovery, or sanitization on your hardware. Report included in the quoted scope.

[03] WEB

Site hardening

Cloudflare-led hardening for public sites—separate from lab hardware work.

Lab services

Recovery, hardening, and sanitization

Work below the operating system on kit you send or buy from us. Nothing starts until scope and price are agreed. Lab services.

Recovery

Hardware recovery

Locked or unknown enterprise kit—SPI flash access and reprogramming where the platform allows it (quoted per model).

  • BIOS / firmware recovery paths
  • SPI EEPROM read & write (1.8 V / 3.3 V)
  • ME region cleanup where applicable
Security

Ring −2 review

Firmware and SMM posture on supported platforms—findings and practical mitigations in plain English.

  • Flash write-protection (BWP/BLE) checks
  • CHIPSEC-style platform analysis
  • TPM / boot-chain notes in your report
Sanitization

NIST 800-88 aligned wipe

Data destruction on NVMe, SSD, and magnetic media with verification suited to resale and decommission.

  • Cryptographic / secure erase
  • Verification passes & serial logging
  • Written sanitization record

Buyers: we also document burn-in, TPM clear, OEM firmware reflash, and BMC checks when in scope—see resale assurance.

Process

How an engagement runs

One service or several—each job finishes with records you can file: logs, reports, and clear next steps.

Scope

You tell us the make, model, and goal (resale, reuse, or assurance). We confirm what the lab can do on that platform and send a fixed quote.

Lab work

Recovery, Ring −2 review, or sanitization on the bench—aligned to NIST 800-88 where wiping is in scope.

Prove

Darkhorse Integrity Report: hashes, logs, and sanitization records you can attach to a sale or audit file.

Support

Optional retainer, incident triage when monitoring is in place, and lab stock when you refresh hardware.

Services

Where to start

Fixed-scope entry points. Add web or cloud work when you need it.

PSTI exposure calculator

Tick items that match your estate. Indicative only—not legal advice. Use it to decide whether a firmware scope call is worth booking.
