Risk management your team truly masters
FMEA, FTA, HARA, TARA, HAZOP, FMEDA, STPA and more, applied correctly – we facilitate your safety analyses and systematically build methodological expertise within your team.
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) = the systematic study of possible failure modes and their effects on parts, processes or systems. FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) = the deductive tracing of a system failure back to its possible causes. HARA (Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment) = the assessment of hazards within functional safety. TARA (Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment) = a structured assessment of cyber threats and the resulting risks.
Is your risk work still missing structure?
The method gets chosen because a standard or customer requires it – not because it fits the system. Result: formally correct, but with no real impact.
FMEA, FTA, HARA and TARA run side by side, without a shared data basis – duplicate work, contradictory assessments.
After the workshop, the analysis ends up in a spreadsheet – with no feedback loop into the risk register or the development process.
If that one specialist is unavailable, the next analysis grinds to a halt – no repeatable process anchored in the team.
Based on experience, a risk identified early in the project is far cheaper to address than one discovered late – or not at all.
From box-ticking to real impact
Four methods, one consistent system
FMEA, FTA, HARA and TARA each answer a different question – but applied as four isolated exercises, they lose most of their value. We apply whichever method fits your system and connect the results into one coherent picture, instead of producing four separate documents.
Checking parts and processes systematically
We facilitate Design FMEA and Process FMEA workshops with your cross-functional team – from function analysis through rating occurrence, severity and detection to a prioritized action list, following current AIAG-VDA methodology.
Tracing a system failure back to its cause
Fault Tree Analysis works deductively: starting from an undesired top event, we systematically trace back which combinations of causes could lead to it – especially valuable for complex, safety-relevant systems with multiple failure paths.
Building in functional safety from the start
For safety-relevant systems, we identify and assess hazards under the relevant functional-safety standards (including ISO 26262, IEC 61508) – the basis for derived safety requirements, not a safeguard bolted on afterward.
Assessing cyber threats systematically
TARA carries the same methodical rigor over to cyber threats – identifying attack vectors, assessing likelihood and impact, and prioritizing protective measures. For more depth on concrete threat scenarios, see our Cybersecurity page.
The methodological foundation for every other topic
FMEA, FTA, HARA and TARA are the methodological foundation of our entire practice – our pages on AI Risk Management, Cybersecurity and Software FMEA carry exactly these four methods over into their respective contexts, rather than inventing separate procedures. This methodology has proven itself across industries for decades: from mechanical engineering through the automotive industry to public authorities and current AI regulation. The result is a toolkit that doesn’t just serve your current project, but every future system your team needs to analyze.
