security & safety

Security and safety are not add-ons, but integral parts of sound software product design. While security protects your product from cyberattacks, safety ensures reliable operation in relation to people and the environment. Through security by design and a consistent focus on functional safety, we establish the foundation for robust, certifiable, and future-proof software from the very beginning.
We support you throughout the entire lifecycle to reliably meet security requirements and keep your systems secure.

Security by Design

Retrofitting security measures is costly and rarely comprehensive, as fundamental architectural decisions have already been made by that stage.
- Risk assessment and threat modeling
- Secure boot and firmware signatures
- Encrypted communication (AES/TLS/DTLS)
- Key and certificate management
- Use of secure elements (external or integrated into the controller)
- Secure update mechanisms with signature verification and rollback
- Device provisioning in production

Functional Safety

For functionally safety-critical systems, careful development alone is not enough. Robust verification is essential. This is based on the safety concept: hazard analysis, the required safety level, and the measures taken to achieve it.
- IEC 61508 as the foundational standard for functional safety
- ISO 13849 for machine control systems
- Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230
- Safety-oriented architecture: separation, redundancy, and diagnostics
- FMEDA and PL or SIL verification
- Verification and testing strategies for certifiable firmware

Software Lifecycle Management

Industrial products remain in the field for ten years or more. A vulnerability discovered years after market launch affects every single device delivered. Without an established update process, this creates a significant liability and reputational risk. We take over software maintenance for the entire product lifecycle, even for code developed by third parties.

- Takeover of existing codebases, including code audits
- Vulnerability monitoring based on SBOM and CVE data
- Provision of security patches throughout the product lifecycle
- Bug fixing and porting to new controllers or toolchains
- Long-term availability for ten years and beyond
- Handoff to manufacturing: production test firmware and documentation

Processes & Certifications

We develop using a standards-compliant process with end-to-end traceability. Regulatory documentation is created concurrently with the project, which shortens approval processes and keeps future changes manageable.

- Standards-compliant development process based on the V-model
- End-to-end traceability from requirements to verification
- Regulatory documentation as an integral part of the project
- Certified quality management according to ISO 9001
- Support for testing agency and audit procedures

case study

Energy device for high-voltage cables


‍Technologies: Microcontrollers, BLE, NFC, GPS, mobile app, cloud, encrypted OTA updates
‍Standards: IEC 61010
‍
‍Challenge: Devices used on power cables carry high energy levels—malfunctions in battery management can pose an immediate danger. The requirement was for secure battery functions and cybersecurity for wireless connectivity. Intended for the global market, the device had to pass a security assessment.
‍
Solution: We designed a two-layer firmware architecture that strictly separates safety-critical battery functions from the application. Communication is end-to-end encrypted and authenticated. OTA updates are distributed via the cloud and mobile app, are also end-to-end encrypted, and include a fallback mechanism.
An automated build and test pipeline provided the necessary verification.
‍
Result: Security assessment passed; the device is RED, CE, and UL certified.
