How To Submit Devices To DeviceTotal Community Edition
With DeviceTotal Community Edition, you can evaluate the risk posture of your connected devices — free of charge and without installing anything.
You can submit:
- Up to 3 devices per request
- 1 request per week
- Up to 5 requests per month
Whether you’re analyzing existing assets or evaluating devices before purchase, Community Edition gives you vendor-verified, firmware-level security intelligence — including vulnerabilities, EoL data, and mitigation options — to help you make confident decisions.
Here’s how the submission process works and why each step matters.
Step 1: Enter Your Contact Information
We ask for your name, email, and company to:
- Deliver your personalized trial results
- Follow up with any clarifying questions
- Ensure your submission is tied to the correct use case and context
This information is never shared or used for any purpose beyond your trial experience.
Step 2: Select Device Use Context
You’ll indicate whether your device is already in use or being evaluated for purchase. This helps us:
- Understand its operational context
- Provide recommendations for alternative devices in case of purchase
Step 3: Submit Device Information
Now you’ll enter as much device data as you have, including:
- Vendor name
- Series or model
- Firmware version (critical for accuracy)
- SKU number (optional, but useful for deeper matching)
After you’ve entered the information, click the “Submit Devices for Evaluation” button. Your evaluation is sent for processing — and within 3 business days, you’ll receive your results.
Step 3.1: Submitting Devices You’re Considering for Purchase
If you’re submitting a device you’re planning to purchase (instead of one already in use), select the “For Purchase” option.
This unlocks an optional recommendation feature that suggests alternative devices from the same category — helping you evaluate options based on security posture, vendor support, known vulnerabilities, and lifecycle status.

Useful Tip: Make Sure Your Data is Correct
The quality of your input directly affects the quality of your results.
- If you submit only a vendor and model, you’ll receive broad, version-agnostic vulnerabilities
- If you include the firmware version, we provide:
- Version-specific CVEs
- End-of-life data
- Mitigation/remediation paths
- Risk scores tied to real-world exploitability
This is the same methodology used in our full Intelligence Edition, trusted by service providers and OEMs managing healthcare, OT, IoT, and network device fleets.
