Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a provisioning control apparatus (140) configured to be coupled to a provisioning apparatus (160), wherein the provisioning apparatus (160) is electrically connectable with a plurality of pins of an electronic component (170) for provisioning the electronic component (170) with security sensitive provisioning data (150). The provisioning control apparatus (140) comprises a communication interface (143) configured to provide the security sensitive provisioning data (150) via the provisioning apparatus (160) to the electronic component (170). The communication interface (143) is further configured to trigger a lockdown of the electronic component (170). The communication interface (143) is further configured to determine via the provisioning apparatus (160) one or more states of the plurality of pins of the electronic component (170) for determining a state of the electronic component (170), after the electronic component (170) has been locked down.
