The service is delivered through a structured process to ensure that every step is executed in accordance with our accreditation. The assessments are performed according to our methods SP Method 5791 and SP Method 5792 for consistency. The service may involve several phases, including initial reviews, technical analyses, practical testing, document review and final validation with comprehensive reporting. The duration of the service depends on the scope of the customer’s project. On average, an assessment can take from a few weeks to several months, depending on its complexity, size and the readiness level. We provide flexible scheduling to ensure we meet deadlines and align with business objectives. The service can be delivered on-site at the customer's premises, at our testing and research facilities, or through a hybrid model depending on the customer’s preferences and equipment requirements. Customers receive a detailed final report documenting compliance with relevant standards and including recommendations for improvements or adjustments. This report serves as proof that the product or system meets regulatory requirements, a critical advantage in both regulatory and commercial contexts. To ensure the service is effectively executed, the customer needs to provide technical documentation, relevant software, access to testing environments, and contact with necessary personnel. The service is ensuring that the customer remains compliant in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

Our service is designed to be flexible and adaptable to the unique needs and requirements of each customer. We can tailor our process depending on the specific standard or regulation to be implemented. Customisations may include testing against multiple standards and regulations at the same time or combine the regulatory testing with penetration testing. Some examples of Customisation are the following: (i) Single Solutions: Customers can choose to focus solely on specific aspects of compliance, such as a specific standard, risk assessments or penetration testing. (ii) Industry-Specific Testing: We offer specialized testing for sectors such as the automotive industry, IoT, and industrial control systems (ICS). Our Testing Methodology is the following: Depending on customer requirements, we can conduct tests on-site, in our lab environment, or through simulations in virtual environments. However, some Limitations and Specifications have to be considered: (i) The customer must provide technical documentation in advance, such as architectural descriptions, user manuals, and configuration files. (ii) The solution to be tested must be at a sufficiently advanced stage for testing. Prototypes are acceptable, but limitations must be discussed in detail. (iii) Certain tests may require specific software, hardware, documents or access to sensitive systems. The customer must ensure this equipment and access are available. Some important information for the Customer is: (i) Customisations may affect the timeline and cost of the service. (ii) If the solution involves third-party systems, coordination will be needed to ensure smooth integration into the testing process. (iii) Regulations and directives like NIS2, RED and CRA may require continuous updates, meaning the service might need to be performed periodically to maintain compliance.
