IoT
Sensors, gateways, and badge readers are 'that box in the ceiling' with an IP someone wrote on tape. Manufacturer firmware logins stay at default, and the connection method is a guess after a power cut.
Hypervault stores device name, type, IP, and configuration in an encrypted EU vault, with permissions for OT/IT and the technicians who service that site.
Why store IoT in a digital vault
Default manufacturer logins survive install
Cameras and PLCs stay on factory passwords. Configuration plus last rotated on the vault item makes hardening visible.
IP is on a faded label
DHCP moved the device. IP address and connection method on the item is how you reach it after a cutover.
Model and firmware are unknown at incident time
A CVE drops and you cannot tell if you are exposed. Manufacturer and model on the record are the inventory.
OT and IT argue over who owns the gateway
Owner/team on the item ends the ticket ping-pong.
Who uses this template
IT and OT engineers
Register IoT devices with IP, connection method, and config instead of tape on the housing.
Facilities with smart building kit
Know manufacturer, model, and who owns each controller.
MSPs running client IoT
Hold per-site device records in an EU vault the on-call engineer can open.
Fields in this template
Keep every record complete and easy to find. Existing fields stay as they are; extras are added only when a vault item would otherwise be incomplete.
- Device name
- Device type
- Manufacturer
- Model
- Connection method
- IP address
- Configuration
- Notes
- Owner/team
- Last rotated
