Safety
Our experts support the design, development, verification and auditing of critical systems.
In collaboration with our colleagues who are experts in cybersecurity, we integrate constraints on the safety/security aspects at the earliest stage, even when those constraints are conflicting.
EXPERTISE BASED ON:
- Our sound knowledge of analysis methodologies (risk analysis, FMECA, fault trees, critical revision of code, etc.)
- Our sound knowledge of critical development processes
- Understanding of the problems faced by a broad range of sectors (rail, defence, automotive industry, aeronautics, health care, energy, machinery)
- In-depth knowledge of key normative texts and critical development methodologies
Our consultancy and expert analysis activities cover the entire life cycle of a system, equipment item (from R&D to through-life support) or embedded software. They can take the form of an assessment/risk map, training, support or evaluation with respect to a given procedural baseline.
