Software development in the regulated market

Secure. Reliable. Auditable.

Regulated markets place special demands on software projects: Transparency, documentation, traceability and security are not only desirable - they are mandatory. This is exactly where we come in. Whether data protection, information security, industry-specific requirements or documentation obligations - we speak the language of regulated markets. Thanks to our daily work with clients from strictly regulated industries, we have a unique perspective on the special requirements for technology, processes and compliance.

Our strengths for your project

  • Practical experience in regulated environments
    We know the regulatory stumbling blocks and develop solutions that stand up to scrutiny.
  • Interdisciplinary expertise
    Our team combines expertise in development, IT security and data protection.
  • ISO 27001-oriented work
    Information security is not an extra, but a standard: our processes are based on ISO 27001 and are designed for traceability and risk minimisation.
  • Agile development with a focus on compliance 
    We combine modern development methods with structured verification and test management - so that innovation and control are not a contradiction in terms.

How we work

1

Analysis & requirements analysis

We start by analysing the regulatory framework, existing systems and technical requirements together with the customer. In doing so, we pay particular attention to documentation obligations, data protection requirements and industry-specific regulations.

2

Architecture & security concept

Based on the analysis, we develop a robust architecture concept - tailored to existing IT landscapes and possible certification requirements. Information security and traceability take centre stage.

3

Agile implementation with in-built track

The software is implemented in agile sprints, for example - with clearly documented requirements, structured test management and continuous review. This keeps the process flexible and complete at the same time.

4

Quality assurance & test management

Through automated tests, code reviews and compliance checks, we ensure that every function fulfils the regulatory requirements - in an audit-proof, traceable and documented manner.

5

Support through to auditing

Whether internal audit or external audit: we provide all the evidence you need. And - if you wish - we can also actively support you in the audit process.

Software Due Diligence

Technical insight for smart decisions

Are you planning a shareholding, an investment or a company takeover? Our software due diligence creates the technical transparency you need. We analyse IT systems holistically - in terms of substance, scalability and risks.

With in-depth expertise in the areas of

  • Modern software architecture,
  • Azure cloud solutions,
  • DevOps processes and
  • IT security

we evaluate technologies where they are crucial - at the core of the application.

Overview of our fields of analysis

  • Code quality & maintainability
    Technical debt, clean code, test coverage.
  • Technology stack & architecture
    Future viability, scalability, modularity, API concepts.
  • Cloud readiness & infrastructure
    Azure, CI/CD, operational security.
  • Security & compliance
    Encryption, access concepts
  • Team & processes
    Development organisation, tooling, documentation, maturity level

Structured. Individual. Goal-oriented. That is how we work.

1

Inventory

We start with a clear inventory - from the system landscape and source code to the tools and interfaces used.

2

Valuation

In the next step, we evaluate development processes, architecture, scalability and technical debt. We pay particular attention to security aspects and compliance with regulatory requirements.
