Competent Assessor Automotive SPICE® and
Certified Automotive SPICE® Assessor for Cyber Security
We support your mandatory ASPICE®-assessment by providing full-scale ASPICE Assessments tailored for your needs. This increases the acceptance level of the results at your customer significantly. We consult and support the preparation of your organization to fulfill mandatory regulations R155 and R156.
ASPICE assessment
Meanwhile all major car manufacturers (OEMs) as well as start-ups require a thorough, fast and reliable development process to be executed by their suppliers. ASPICE assessment is currently a perfect means to demonstrate the achieved certification level. Thereby either the overall organization or individual parts of the organization/the project reveal the capabilities regarding the development process. Although this "ASPICE" concept is mainly used for Software-developing departments, it's generic concept can also be applied to other areas like Cyber Security, Functional Safety, Mechanical Development.
Based on consulting experience in several supplier companies, we offer our knowledge for
- process planning/management of ASPICE and Mechanical SPICE
- process planning for FuSi and/or CyberSec applications or projects
- organizational needs
- external participation in ASPICE assessments
Strategic consulting
We record and analyze your process. Major focus is on improving efficiency and productivity. The usage of methods like value stream mapping can reveal gaps and potentials for improvement as well as strengths and opportunities.
