Customer Benefits

Global Technology Leadership, delivered with Precision

As part of the Thales Group, SYSGO offers the financial stability and global reach of a world leader in high-technology. However, we maintain the speed and customer-centric focus of a specialized software house. Our customers benefit from a "best of both worlds" partnership: the industrial muscle to support global rollouts and the technical agility to provide tailored engineering support for specific project needs.

The Synergy of Safety & Security (MILS Architecture)

SYSGO is a pioneer in the "Security-by-Design" principle and movement. By utilizing our Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) architecture, we enable the safe coexistence of high-assurance control logic and feature-rich applications on a single platform. This unique expertise allows our customers to innovate with modern software (like Linux and Rust) without compromising the fundamental Safety of their systems.

European Technology Sovereignty & ITAR-Free Independence

In an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape, SYSGO provides a 100% European-owned and developed technology stack. Our products are entirely free from ITAR restrictions, ensuring that our customers maintain full control over their global export strategies and supply chain Security. We provide the "sovereign foundation" required for critical infrastructure, Defense, Aerospace and more projects worldwide.

"First-Time-Right" Certification DNA

Since 1991, our experience proves that SYSGO doesn't just support certification; we define it. Our software has been successfully qualified to the highest standards, including DAL A, SIL 4 and ASIL D, across thousands of deployments. By partnering with us, you leverage a proven methodology and a library of pre-certified artifacts that drastically reduce your project’s regulatory risk and time-to-market.

Dual-certified Excellence: ISO 9001 & ISO 27001

Trust is built on verified standards. SYSGO maintains a company-wide Integrated Management System certified according to:

  • ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management): Ensuring consistent, high-quality development and project execution.
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (Information Security): Guaranteeing that your sensitive IP, source code, and project data are protected by the highest international Security protocols. These certifications are more than formalities; they are the foundation upon which we build your Safety-critical systems.

Future-Proofing through Innovation Leadership

We actively shape the future of embedded systems through our involvement in international standardization bodies and cutting-edge research projects. From pioneering "software-defined" architectures to integrating modern memory-safe languages like Rust, SYSGO ensures that our customers' platforms are ready for the next generation of Edge Computing and Cloud-to-Edge orchestration.

European Sovereignty & ITAR-Free Independence

As a 100% European-owned and developed technology company, SYSGO provides a sovereign technology stack independent of foreign jurisdiction. Our products are not subject to U.S. ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations), which drastically simplifies your global export processes and reduces administrative overhead. We ensure your project’s success remains unhindered by international trade disputes or shifting export policies.

Mission-Critical Longevity (15 to 30 Year Lifecycles)

We understand that Aerospace, Industrial Automation, or Railway projects outlast consumer technology by decades. SYSGO is committed to the long-term; we provide professional maintenance, Security patching, and technical support for the entire duration of your product’s lifecycle. We ensure that the software you deploy today remains secure and functional in the future.
