Certification Aid/Safety Standards

In a growing number of industrial sectors, embedded software and systems must comply with standards to ensure security and safety of their users.

Aware of the issues at stake, ISIT has developed a range of training courses dedicated to these various standards (DO-178, DO-254, IEC 61508, IEC 62304, ISO 26262, etc.), but also knows how to support customers in implementing the standards process, with experts in these standards who also have practical experience of implementing them, having themselves taken part in projects involving certification of the software developed.

Software safety assurance expertise, sometimes referred to as functional safety expertise, involves evaluating and ensuring the reliability, availability, security, and performance of software, especially in critical contexts where failures could have serious consequences, such as in the aerospace industry, automotive sector, medical systems, and more.
Here's what it typically entails:

• Safety Requirements Analysis
• Risk Analysis
• Secure Design
• Verification and Validation
• Documentation
• Certification
• Maintenance and Monitoring

Safety assurance expertise in software is crucial to ensure that software used in safety-critical areas operates reliably and securely, thereby reducing potential risks to user safety and well-being. This expertise often relies on industry or domain-specific standards and best practices, such as ISO 26262 for the automotive industry or DO-178C for aviation.
