| Criterion | Value | Proof(s) | Comment |
| Known hardware tampering | Rare | [2] | Aura Studio 4 is a consumer Bluetooth speaker without advertised physical tamper-proofing; physical tamper protection would normally be mentioned in service/industrial products. |
| Known vulnerabilities | Rare | [3] | Generic Bluetooth/stack vulnerabilities may apply at protocol level; I found no published exploit targeting Aura Studio 4 specifically. |
| Prior attacks | Rare | [4] | No public prior attack incidents specific to Aura Studio 4 were found; absence of evidence ≠ proof of no incidents, but public record is empty. |
| Updatability | Rare | [5] | Device supports software/firmware updates via Harman support/app, but there is limited public evidence of frequent security update cadence — conservative “Rare” (updatable but not demonstrably frequently patched). |

| System | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Criterion | Value | Proof(s) | Comment |
| Authentication with other systems | Partial | [6] | Partial — app/device pairing provides some identity association, but not a full enterprise-grade authentication integration. |
| Communications | Encrypted with up-to-date encryption | [7] | Assuming standard Bluetooth encryption is used for audio streaming and pairing (LE/BR-EDR mechanisms). This is protocol-level encryption rather than application-level TLS. |
| Storage | Encrypted with up-to-date encryption | [8] | Manufacturer does not publicly detail on-device encryption of storage; we conservatively assume typical protections for firmware and key material are in place but lack public proof. |
| Category score | 2 | ||
| User Authentication | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Criterion | Value | Proof(s) | Comment |
| Account management | Full | [9] | Full in the sense of typical consumer app/device management (add/remove device, settings, theme control). |
| Authentication | Basic | [10] | Basic = username/password or Bluetooth pairing; no public documentation of mandatory 2FA for Aura Studio 4 management. |
| Brute-force protection | Exist | [11] | Presumed existence of basic protections (pairing timeouts, account rate-limit) — typical for consumer devices. |
| Event logging | Partial logging | [12] | Partial — user-visible events (firmware update events, pairing activity) may be available; device likely does not maintain extended forensic logs. |
| Passwords | Require change after setup | [13] | Conservative assumption: if an account is used in the Harman ecosystem, the app will prompt for secure credentials; however a forced change on first boot is not documented. |
