Yes, we are currently acting as a CVE in the Software, Hardware, Cyber Security and Safety domains for a company that are developing the latest Oxygen Mask technology for future and current Civilian Aircraft. We are currently engaging with the relevant Points of Contacts within EASA, and are conducting Stage of Involvement audits for their DAL B Software and Hardware components. 

Yes, in fact that is predominately where our Subject Matter Expertise lies. We have over 10 years of experience working closely with the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) in the areas of Software, Hardware & Cyber Security Airworthiness. Our engineers have personally helped develop the latest Defence Standards (00-970) from a Programmable Elements perspective, have acted as lead reviewers for other standards such as the latest uplift of Defence Standard 00-055 and have supported the authorship of several Regulatory Articles for the Military Aviation Authority (MAA). 

Yes, we have been working in this domain for 7 years since the UK MAA initially added the Cyber Security Airworthiness requirements into Defence Standard 00-970. We are therefore likely to be one of very few external organisations that has the necessary SQEP in this challenging domain. We are happy to provide you with the necessary training or alternatively work closely with you and your organisation to act as Subject Matter Experts.
