Accelerate safety readiness at the system architecture level
SMART analyzes your system architecture early in the development phase to identify security vulnerabilities—before they lead to costly redesigns or regulatory risks.
Architecture-Based Safety Analysis
SMART analyzes system architectures early in the development process and identifies structural security vulnerabilities, missing security mechanisms, and inconsistent design decisions.
Early detection of safety and security vulnerabilities
By evaluating architectural elements based on established safety principles and risk patterns, SMART identifies potential hazards and safety vulnerabilities well before validation and testing.
Measurable Safety Maturity & Concrete Measures
SMART provides a quantified safety maturity score, prioritizes critical vulnerabilities, and offers specific recommendations for improving the system architecture.
Experience our innovative features.
Here, we highlight the key features and benefits that make the SMART platform indispensable for engineers and safety managers.
System-level architectural analysis
SMART analyzes functional and technical system architectures and identifies structural weaknesses, missing safety mechanisms, and critical dependencies.
Identification of Safety and Security Risks
By comparing designs against established safety principles and known risk patterns, SMART identifies potential hazards and safety gaps as early as the initial stages of development.
Integration into existing development processes
SMART integrates seamlessly into existing system engineering processes and supports the continuous assessment and improvement of the architecture throughout the entire development cycle.
Measurable added value for your system development
Here, technically savvy professionals can learn how the SMART platform boosts efficiency and optimizes safety standards.
Early identification of critical vulnerabilities
SMART identifies structural deficiencies in the system architecture at an early stage, enabling targeted corrective actions before costly changes become necessary in later development phases.
Comprehensive safety and security assessment
Based on established safety principles, SMART systematically analyzes architectural components to identify potential risks and functions that are inadequately safeguarded.
Seamless integration into existing processes
SMART integrates seamlessly into existing development environments and supports continuous evaluation of the system architecture throughout the entire development cycle.
How to Use SMART in Your Project
Working with you, we apply the SMART framework to your system architecture, identify risks, and develop concrete improvement measures.
Step 1: Define the project and architecture
Together, we will select a suitable project or subsystem and document the relevant system architecture as the basis for the analysis.
Step 2: Conduct an analysis and evaluation
We analyze your architecture based on safety and security principles, identify structural weaknesses, and assess your system’s safety maturity.
Step 3: Derive results and actions
The SMART Dashboard provides you with a structured assessment, a prioritized list of risks, and specific recommendations for targeted improvements to your system architecture. The SMART Dashboard displays all recommendations, progress, and configuration details, as shown in the two screenshots below.
Step 4: Support the implementation of the project
Upon request, we can assist you in implementing these measures and help integrate them into your existing development processes.
SMART Dashboard
The SMART Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your system architecture's current maturity level in functional safety and security.
Based on your architecture, SMART analyzes key areas, including hazard analysis, traceability, verification readiness, and governance. The results are consolidated into a clear, easy-to-understand safety maturity score, providing an at-a-glance overview of where your system stands today and highlighting areas for improvement.
In addition to the overall assessment, SMART specifically identifies critical weaknesses—such as gaps in traceability or incomplete hazard analyses—and evaluates their impact on your overall risk.
Based on this, you will receive specific, prioritized recommendations for action, with clear assignments of responsibility and implementation timelines—enabling you to identify targeted measures and systematically improve your safety maturity.
