Fact sheet on cyber security

Requirements and solutions for secure IoT and embedded systems

The rising number of cyber attacks has made legislation necessary. According to a study by the digital association Bitkom e. V., these attacks will cost the German economy 289 billion euros in 2025. Over the past few years, the EU has therefore issued a whole series of security regulations, such as the Cybersecurity Act and the NIS 2 Directive.

As a specialist in electronic and software systems, we see it as our duty to protect embedded systems and cloud architectures against data theft and sabotage right from the development stage.

We support our clients in implementing the EU requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and in meeting security requirements that go beyond it. Our processes are organised so that digital security is an integral part of our services and products.

Eight steps to product conformity

Throughout the entire product life cycle, we work with our clients to organise all security requirements and the measures needed to meet the CRA requirements:

• Product classification
• Threat analysis and risk assessment
• Security by design
• Technical documentation (see Annex VII)
• Implementation of a monitoring process
• Conformity assessment
• CE conformity
• Continuous vulnerability monitoring

In addition to product development, we also provide ongoing, cyber-secure maintenance of our embedded hardware and software systems as a service.
