Independent V&V
Evidence that your critical systems do what they are supposed to do, from a partner with nothing riding on the answer.
In safety-critical and mission-critical systems, a defect found in production is not a bug report. It is an incident, a recall, a grounded fleet or a regulatory finding. Independent verification exists because development teams inherently carry blind spots in the systems they build.
Independent assessment and validation, with no involvement in the development of the systems we verify.
Verification asks whether the system was built correctly against its requirements. Validation asks whether those requirements were the right ones in the first place. Independent means both are answered by an organization outside the delivery chain, reporting to you rather than to the program.
Five verification services, delivered on their own or as a continuous engagement alongside a program.
Continuous independent verification across the life of a program, from requirements through acceptance.
A test function that reports to you, not to the team whose work it is testing.
Verification against DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 62304 and EN 50716, at the level of evidence a certification authority expects.
Model and agentic system behavior validated against intended use, including the failure modes that only appear at scale.
Evidence packages assembled, traced and defended through the certification process.
Independent verification only works if the independence is structural. Ours is built into how we engage.
We report to you or to the program authority, never through the development organization
Every test traces to a requirement, and every requirement to a test. Coverage is demonstrable, not asserted.
Artifacts are produced in the form an auditor or certification body will ask for.
Verification runs alongside development rather than after it, so findings arrive while there is still time.
In some sectors independent V&V is a regulatory requirement. In others it is simply the only way to know. We work across both.
Device software verified against IEC 62304 and MDR expectations, with the evidence trail a notified body will follow.
Functional safety verified against ISO 26262 and EN 50716, across software that ships at scale or runs for decades.
Control and operational systems verified where an outage carries national consequence.
The capabilities from our technical framework that Independent V&V draws on most.
