Independent
Software Assurance
& Advisory

Assessment, advisory and independent verification for the modern enterprise.
We give you traceability and an evidence-based view of the software you depend on. 

Software Risk Has Outgrown Enterprise Visibility

Software is being developed faster than it can be secured. Regulation is tightening, supply chains have become the primary attack surface, and software teams are rarely positioned to judge this risk independently. We close that gap.

Security, compliance and governance, engineered to keep pace with modern software delivery.
+ Security

Application, pipeline and supply-chain risk assessed against real-world attack surfaces. Findings are concrete and actionable. No generic checklists.

+ Automation

CI/CD and DevSecOps pipelines engineered for speed and reliability. Quality and security gates run continuously, at every stage. Built in, always on.

+ Compliance

NIS2, DORA, the Cyber Resilience Act and the EU AI Act mapped to concrete engineering practice. Regulation becomes a working process, not paperwork.

+ Resilience

Architecture and operations tested to withstand real failure and real attacks. Recovery is designed in from day one. Confidence, evidenced.

+ Zero Trust

Every identity, device and request verified continuously. Access is never assumed — it’s earned, checked, and re-checked. Perimeters can fail; trust doesn’t.

+ Shift-Left Security

Security and quality gates built into the earliest stages of development. Issues surface when they’re cheapest to fix. Speed, safety and developer ownership, together.

We build nothing
we assess

Our only deliverable is the truth about your software.

Three Ways We Reduce Software Risk

Independent assessment, hands-on advisory and formal verification. Three ways in, depending on what you need to know.

[01]
Assessment & Audit

Where you stand today, measured rather than assumed.

[02]
Independent V&V

Continuous, standards-based evidence on the programs you cannot afford to get wrong.

[03]
Advisory & Consulting

From findings to outcomes, alongside your teams.

Risk Does Not Sit at One Point in the Lifecycle

Most software failures are not introduced where they are found. An architectural assumption surfaces as an outage in production; a dependency pulled in at build time becomes a breach two years later. We assess and assure every stage — and the handoffs between them, where chain-of-custody typically breaks.

Six Industries Where Software Failure Is Not an Option

In regulated and safety-critical environments, point-in-time compliance is a vulnerability. We work where software failure carries systemic risk — with the sector knowledge to know what independent evidence needs to look like.

Public Sector
Large programs, vendor-heavy

Multi-vendor programs where the buyer needs its own view of what is being delivered.

Healthcare & MedTech
IEC 62304 & MDR

Software inside regulated medical devices, where evidence is part of the product.

Aerospace & Defense
DO-178C & DO-254

Certification-bound systems with no tolerance for unverified change.

Energy & Critical Infrastructure
NIS2 & CRA

Operational technology and long-lived systems now inside a tightening security regime.

Financial Services
DORA & EU AI Act

Resilience and model governance under supervisors who ask for proof, not intent.

Automotive & Rail
ISO 26262 & EN 50716

Functional safety across software that ships in millions of units or runs for decades.

Two Disciplines Most Firms Keep Apart

Most firms silo their expertise. Safety-critical verification demands decades of certification practice; AI assurance demands that same rigor applied to non-deterministic systems. We work in both, because the discipline that makes one credible is what the other has been missing.

Safety & Mission Critical V&V

Independent verification for systems where failure is measured in lives, not downtime. DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 62304 and EN 50716 — full-scope IV&V, certification evidence and the testing that stands up to an auditor.

AI Assurance & Validation

Independent validation of AI models and agentic systems before deployment, backed by continuous MLSecOps governance at runtime. Under the EU AI Act, performance is not enough; you must provide traceability and continuous proof of why your AI can be trusted.

Four Reasons Enterprises Trust Us With Their Software Risk

Independent assurance only works if the people doing it have built, broken and certified software themselves. That is the difference between an audit and an assessment.

+ Security First DevOps Architecture

Engineering practitioners, not reactive auditors. We read the code, construct the CI/CD pipelines, and design immutable architectures delivering continuous, actionable telemetry rather than static reports.

+ Regulated & Sensitive Environment Expertise

NIS2, DORA, the CRA, the EU AI Act and critical-systems standards, translated into engineering practice rather than policy documents.

+ Integrated Expertise

Assessment, advisory, and continuous verification unified within a single DevSecOps culture. We eliminate handover friction and ensure end-to-end traceability across the entire software development cycle.

+ Technical Leadership

A team forged in classified, high-assurance environments, actively architecting the DevSecOps maturity models, zerotrust frameworks, and reference architectures the rest of the industry relies on.

Notes From the Work

Standards change, attack surfaces move and regulation arrives faster than most roadmaps. What we publish comes out of engagements, not marketing calendars.
