A critical capacity gap
A senior safety or compliance role needs to be filled quickly without losing momentum.
SYSTEM SAFETY · PRODUCT SECURITY · CRA READINESS
Are safety and security becoming your bottleneck?
Pictor helps product leaders in regulated industries turn system safety, product security and CRA readiness into a clear, traceable path — from first architecture to final audit.

WHERE TO START
Three routes into the work.
Each route begins with the same question: what has to hold up under review, and what evidence proves it?
01
System Safety
Structure risk, requirements, architecture and verification across safety-critical programmes.
Explore System Safety02
CRA Consulting
Turn the Cyber Resilience Act into a practical engineering plan, clear ownership and defensible evidence.
Explore CRA Consulting03
Embedded Systems Expertise
Strengthen architecture and lifecycle decisions in complex, high-availability and safety-critical systems.
See our backgroundTRACEABILITY
One line from scope to evidence.
Pictor keeps risk, architecture decisions and verification connected, so the argument holds under review.
01
Scope
Product, programme, roles and applicable requirements.
02
Risk
Safety hazards, cybersecurity risks and prioritisation.
03
Architecture
Requirements, design decisions and mitigations.
04
Verification
Reviews, tests, actions and acceptance criteria.
05
Evidence
Traceable records, technical documentation and decision rationale.
WHEN ORGANISATIONS CALL
Three recurring situations.
Most engagements start in one of these, and widen once the evidence chain is visible.
New obligations meet an existing product lifecycle
CRA requirements must be translated into real engineering, documentation and post-market processes.
Evidence is fragmented across teams and tools
Risk, architecture, decisions and verification need a defensible line of traceability.
RESEARCH BACKGROUND
European programmes behind the practice.
Assurance, modelling and safe cooperation between connected systems — applied research that informs how we structure evidence.
CELTIC-NEXT
Health5G
5G-enabled healthcare use cases across hospital, home and emergency environments.
RISK · ENGINEERING · EVIDENCE
Three layers, one traceable line.
The Pictor symbol is how we work. Risk at the base, engineering decisions in the middle, evidence at the signal layer — each one carrying the one above it.
RISK
Risk, understood before it is argued
We start where the consequences are: hazards, threats and the operating context. Risk work that is explicit enough to steer design decisions, not a document produced after the fact.
- Hazard analysis and threat modelling in the same frame
- Severity, exposure and controllability made traceable
- Residual risk stated in language a decision-maker can act on
ENGINEERING
Engineering decisions that hold up
Requirements, architecture and verification treated as one chain. Safety and security requirements are allocated to real components, with rationale kept where the design lives.
- Requirement allocation across hardware, software and operations
- Architecture reviews with safety and security in the same room
- Verification strategy defined together with the requirement
EVIDENCE
Evidence a regulator or customer can follow
The signal layer: an assurance case where every claim resolves to an argument and an artefact. Structured so an auditor, a notified body or a customer can walk the same path you did.
- Assurance cases linked claim-to-artefact
- Conformity documentation prepared for external review
- Post-market and reporting processes that stay current
Regulatory interpretation
CRA, machinery, medical and automotive frameworks translated into concrete engineering obligations — with the reasoning kept visible.
Assurance leadership
Interim safety and security management: cadence, review gates and the authority to make evidence part of the plan rather than the aftermath.
Capability transfer
Methods, templates and review habits handed over to your own teams, so the practice continues after the engagement ends.
