System Assurance

Comprehensive Solutions for Complex Systems

At PMCC, System Assurance is at the heart of delivering reliable, safe and compliant systems that perform seamlessly across their entire lifecycle. From concept to decommissioning, our integrated approach guarantees that every system we manage is built to meet its intended purpose, withstand real-world challenges and adhere to the highest industry standards.

With our strategic partnerships and deep expertise, we align our services with global standards like ISO, IEC and EN while leveraging advanced technologies such as AI-driven analytics to optimise performance. Our holistic approach to System Assurance combines the principles of Systems Engineering, Risk Management, RAMS and Cybersecurity, ensuring that your system not only functions as expected but exceeds expectations in terms of safety, reliability and operational efficiency.

What We Do in System Assurance

Systems Engineering & Lifecycle Management

End-to-End Lifecycle Management: We manage the entire system lifecycle using the V-Diagram approach, adhering to ISO/IEC 15288 standards. Our services cover everything from concept and design through development, implementation, operation and decommissioning, ensuring seamless integration and performance.
Rigorous Verification & Validation (V&V): Following INCOSE principles and IEEE 1220 guidelines, we implement rigorous Verification and Validation (V&V) processes at every stage of the system lifecycle, ensuring that your system meets both technical specifications and real-world functional requirements.
Compliance with Global Standards: We ensure that all systems comply with industry best practices, including ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO/IEC 15288 for systems lifecycle processes and EIA-632 for engineering management, ensuring that your system performs reliably and adheres to international standards.

Risk Management & RAMS

Comprehensive Risk Management Framework: Adhering to ISO 31000 for risk management and ISO/IEC 15288 for system lifecycle processes, our framework identifies, assesses and mitigates risks throughout the entire lifecycle. This proactive approach ensures that your system performs reliably and safely, minimising potential disruptions and hazards under real-world operational conditions.
RAMS Excellence: We integrate Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety (RAMS) into every phase of the system lifecycle, following IEC 61508 for functional safety and EN 50126 for RAMS in critical systems. Our focus on RAMS ensures optimised system performance, minimised downtime and enhanced safety, contributing to operational efficiency and system longevity.
Proactive Risk Mitigation: Using best practices from ISO 31010 for risk assessment and mitigation, we develop and implement robust strategies to address technical, operational and safety risks. Our approach includes continuous monitoring and the implementation of safety controls, ensuring that your system remains compliant with international standards and resilient against unforeseen challenges.

Cybersecurity Assurance

Comprehensive Cybersecurity Assurance: We follow ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST Cybersecurity Framework standards to safeguard your systems from evolving cyber threats. Our approach includes identifying potential vulnerabilities, implementing robust security controls and mitigating risks such as data breaches, unauthorised access and cyber-attacks to ensure the integrity and security of your systems.
Vulnerability Assessments and Incident Response: We conduct thorough vulnerability assessments in line with ISO/IEC 27005 to proactively identify and address weak points in your system. Our incident response planning, based on NIST SP 800-61, ensures rapid detection and recovery from cyber incidents, minimising downtime and impact on operations.
Proactive Cybersecurity Controls: Our cybersecurity approach incorporates best practices from IEC 62443 for industrial network security and ISO/IEC 15408 (Common Criteria) for IT security. We implement layered defence strategies, including encryption, firewalls and access controls to provide comprehensive protection against sophisticated cyber threats.

Requirements Management & Traceability

Comprehensive Requirement Definition and Documentation: Adhering to ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148 for requirements engineering, we define and document all system requirements from the outset. Our approach ensures that every functional, technical and safety requirement is clearly specified, providing a robust foundation for successful system development and integration.
End-to-End Traceability: We establish detailed traceability matrices in compliance with ISO/IEC 15288 to link every requirement to its corresponding design, development, testing and validation phases. This ensures that no requirement is overlooked, enabling seamless audits and validation of project success throughout the system lifecycle.
Rigorous Verification and Validation (V&V): In line with ISO 9001 and IEEE 1220 standards, our requirement management processes ensure that all system requirements are rigorously tested and validated. We ensure that each requirement is fulfilled during development and that the system performs as intended under real-world conditions.

Interface Management & Integration Testing

Comprehensive Interface Management: In line with ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765 and EIA-632 standards, we manage the interfaces between subsystems, ensuring compatibility, functionality and seamless integration. Our approach includes controlled interface definition, change management and continuous monitoring to maintain the integrity of system architecture.
Seamless System Integration: Following INCOSE Systems Engineering principles and ISO/IEC 15288, we ensure that all subsystems work together cohesively. Our rigorous integration testing guarantees that each component and interface performs as intended, with a focus on minimising integration issues during deployment.
Testing & Commissioning Excellence: We adhere to IEC 61508 and ISO 9001 standards for thorough system testing and commissioning. Our process includes comprehensive verification of all system components and interfaces, ensuring that the system meets all functional, safety and performance requirements before going live.

Our Holistic Approach to System Assurance

End-to-End Lifecycle Assurance: Aligned with ISO/IEC 15288 and INCOSE Systems Engineering principles, we manage system assurance across the entire lifecycle. From the concept and design phase, we define system requirements, identify risks and integrate RAMS and cybersecurity principles, ensuring a strong foundation for system reliability and safety.
V&V and Continuous Oversight: Throughout the development and implementation phase, we apply rigorous Validation & Verification (V&V) processes in compliance with ISO 9001 and IEC 61508 standards. Our structured testing, interface management and quality oversight ensure that the system meets all functional and safety requirements before entering the operational phase.
Sustainable Operation and Decommissioning: During operation and maintenance, we continuously monitor system performance, focusing on reliability, safety and security. Utilising ISO 31000 for risk management and structured Change Management processes, we mitigate risks and ensure smooth operations. When it’s time to decommission, we manage the process safely and ensure compliance with all relevant standards, minimising residual risks.
