Assurance in rail
Reduce risk and uncertainty by addressing gaps in regulatory compliance, best-practices and cross-business standards for rail assets.
Design, construction, safe integration and commissioning of rail systems require integrated compliance and risk-based approaches to address regulatory demands and safety risks. This continues to be essential during operation and maintenance. When rail stakeholders embrace technical and operational changes, that impact on systems and the safety of end users must be evaluated and assessed. Whilst innovative solutions emerge and rail assets become both physical and digital, assessment of cybersecurity risks becomes paramount.
