Safety

Make sure that your critical systems operate safely and securely

SERMA Safety and Security’s Safety Offering ensures the smooth operation of your embedded systems, production, products, or services. It includes concrete actions aimed at minimizing the criticality of failures while ensuring that your devices comply with your reliability, maintainability, availability, and security imperatives (FMDS/RAMS). This offering is tailored to various sectors with a common need to reduce the probabilities of malfunction.

Our goal? To ensure a high level of security and performance across all your critical systems, regardless of your field. To achieve this, discover how at SERMA, we adapt to your requirements and daily operations. We master numerous sector-specific standards such as automotive (ISO 26262, ASPICE), railway (EN 50126/50128/50129/IEEE 1558), defense (IEC 61508), medical (EN 62304, ISO 14971), and aerospace (ARP 4761, DO-254, DO-178)…

Critical systems must meet the following attributes:

Ensure the continuous operation of a complex device over a specified period without major failure. Anticipate breakdowns and incidents.
Ensure that the electronic and computer system is operational when needed and ready to be used without excessive interruption during its cycle.
Facilitate preventive maintenance and rapid repair of your software and architectures in case of failure to minimize downtime.
Identify, analyze, and minimize hazards associated with malfunctions that could cause material, human, or environmental damage.

To ensure these attributes are met, several activities are required, including:

Identify and prevent technical and cyber threats by measuring their impact on the system’s reliability.

The study of dependability (SdF) aims to analyze and ensure the reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety of a technical system. It identifies potential failure risks and proposes measures to prevent them or mitigate their consequences. The goal is to ensure that the system operates reliably and safely throughout its life cycle.

Implementation of protocols to preserve the integrity of your devices and data such as statistical code analysis and security studies.

Provide support in your needs for official certifications issued by independent organizations to attest to the system’s compliance with specified safety standards.
