SGS validates connected devices against global standards such as GCF, PTCRB, OmniAir and FiRa. This ensures interoperability and compliance across regions, helping avoid approval delays and ensuring reliable connectivity for IoT, automotive and telematics applications.
In a world of ubiquitous connectivity, from consumer internet of things (IoT) to industrial control systems and edge devices, trust in embedded products is no longer optional – it is mission-critical.
Every chip, module, firmware stack and communication interface introduces vectors of risk across the cybersecurity, safety, privacy, compliance and reliability dimensions. Attackers may exploit firmware vulnerabilities, supply-chain weaknesses, side-channel leaks, or wireless interfaces. Meanwhile, regulators demand conformity to evolving standards, and users expect dependable, safe operation over long lifecycles.
We help device makers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), chip vendors and integrators manage these challenges – from secure design and verification to certification and market readiness.

- Wireless connectivity and V2X
We ensure reliable, high-speed communication through advanced Wireless, V2X, and RF Engineering services. By validating devices against global carrier and protocol standards such as GCF, PTCRB, OmniAir, and FiRa, we guarantee seamless interoperability for telematics and handset connectivity. Our expertise ensures that mission-critical data flows uninterrupted across international markets, adhering to specific regional requirements like CSAE 53 and ETSI TS 102 637.
- Product cybersecurity
We provide elite defense-in-depth through security evaluations (CC, SESIP, EUCC) and high-assurance cryptographic testing (FIPS 140-3). By aligning hardware and software with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), and financial frameworks like PCI DSS and EMVCo, we build verified digital trust. From CSfC government-grade solutions to eIDAS identity services, we ensure your products are resilient against evolving global threats.
- Functional safety and automotive compliance
We mitigate physical hazards by certifying functional safety and automotive cybersecurity down to the core of your development lifecycle. Utilizing a robust framework of standards including ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and ISO/SAE 21434, we navigate the complexities of homologation and AI safety. Our services bridge the gap between traditional machinery safety (ISO 13849) and the future of autonomous transit through the AI-centric ISO/PAS 8800 and railway-specific EN 50126/128.
- Hardware integrity and interface compliance
We optimize data flow and system stability through rigorous Signal and Power Integrity (SI/PI) analysis and silicon characterization. By certifying hardware against USB and DisplayPort interface compliance standards and utilizing IEEE benchmarks, we ensure that high-speed digital systems perform without distortion. Additionally, we provide specialized compliance for niche sectors, maintaining the strict hardware requirements of USPS and Royal Mail postal standards.
