Auditable Safety Maturity Analysis for System Architectures
SMART is an auditable multi-agent assistant for early safety-architecture assessment. It converts system architecture and safety artifacts into a traceable safety graph, identifies maturity gaps, generates findings-grounded recommendations, and supports governance review before costly redesign or late validation issues occur.
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 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.
Core Functions of SMART
Here, we highlight the key features and benefits that make the SMART platform indispensable for engineers and safety managers.
Finding-grounded Recommendations
Recommendations are generated only from identified findings and approved patterns.
Governance Review
Assessment for evidence-based, consistency, exaggerated safety claims, and need for review.
Safety Graph & Traceability Analysis
Building an integrated Safety Graph to verify dependencies, gaps, and inconsistent linkages.
Architecture and Artifact Parsing
Import of system architecture, safety requirements, hazards, traceability, verification and safe states.
Maturity Scoring
Quantified assessment of safety maturity, with traceable findings and gaps.
Orchestrator Agent & Audit Trail
Management of the entire analysis workflow—from parsing, assessment, and recommendations to the governance review. Each step is logged, validated, and documented as a traceable audit trail.
Measurable added value for your system development
Here, technically savvy professionals will learn how the SMART platform boosts efficiency and optimizes security 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 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 against safety 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 concrete recommendations for targeted improvements to your system architecture. The SMART Dashboard displays all recommendations, progress, and configuration details, as shown in the two screenshots on the left side.
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 offers a holistic view of your system architecture's current maturity level with regard to functional safety.
Based on your architecture, SMART analyzes key areas such as 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.
