Overview

Hardware-Integrated Cybersecurity

In a market where a single security incident can end a supplier relationship overnight, security can’t be a checkbox you tick after development. We build it into the product from the first architecture diagram — secure boot, encrypted storage, hardened communication protocols, and the kind of threat modeling that anticipates how your device will actually be attacked, not just how a checklist says it might be.

We also help teams navigate the compliance landscape that German and EU manufacturers now operate under: IEC 62443 for industrial systems, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, and ISO 27001 for organizational security. These aren’t optional extras anymore — they’re becoming the price of entry for selling into critical infrastructure and industrial markets.

Technical Approach

Our cybersecurity work spans threat modeling and architecture review, penetration testing against web, mobile, and embedded targets, security operations style monitoring, and zero trust network design. For industrial and operational technology environments we apply the IEC 62443 series, which addresses the very different risk profile of control systems compared with standard IT networks, where availability and safety usually outweigh confidentiality.

Germany’s NIS2 implementation expanded the pool of regulated entities from roughly 4,500 to around 30,000 organizations, spanning energy, manufacturing, digital infrastructure, and more, based on thresholds as low as ten million euros in turnover or 50 employees. Non compliance can trigger fines up to 10 million euros or 2 percent of annual global turnover for the largest in scope entities, so getting this right protects the business twice over, against attackers and against regulators.

Organizations already running an ISO 27001 aligned information security management system typically cover 70 to 80 percent of NIS2’s requirements, but the remaining pieces, BSI registration, the tiered incident reporting timeline under Section 32 of the BSI Act, and management level accountability under Section 38, need dedicated attention. In scope entities were required to register with the BSI by 6 March 2026. We run structured gap assessments against NIS2 and, where relevant, the KRITIS Dachgesetz that has applied to the physical resilience of critical facilities since March 2026, so you know exactly where you stand rather than guessing.
