Engineering and technology consulting in Belgium and Europe

We design, build and maintain software, embedded systems and infrastructure, and we carry the result rather than supplying people to work on it. What has changed is what a finished product now obliges its owner to do. Two European regimes now land on whoever places a digital product on the market, and the first reporting duties applied from September 2026.

Sep26

When Cyber Resilience Act reporting starts, including for products already on the market. Actively exploited vulnerabilities, inside 24 hours.

Dec2027

When the rest of it applies: conformity assessment, technical documentation, CE marking.

5years

Or the product lifetime, whichever is shorter. That is how long vulnerabilities must be handled.

Features

What we design,
build and keep

Custom development

Building tailored software and systems.

Embedded and connected systems

Where the product itself falls in scope.

Infrastructure modernisation

Upgrading platforms for scale and security.

Security by design

No longer a preference, now a requirement.

Vulnerability handling

For the product lifetime, or five years.

Technical documentation

The file a conformity assessment will want.

Maintenance and support

From deployment onward, not from handover.

Benefits

Built to be kept

Systems handed over with documentation your own engineers can work from, rather than with a dependency on the people who wrote them. The measure is whether your team can change it six months after we leave.

Compliance built in

Security requirements, vulnerability handling and the documentation trail designed into the build rather than retrofitted before an audit. Retrofitting a product that already shipped is the expensive version of this.

Obligations settled in the contract

Who handles vulnerabilities, who holds the technical file and who reports inside twenty-four hours, agreed at the start. These questions have answers now whether or not anyone wrote them down.

One build team

The people who designed it are the people who build it and the people who maintain it. Handover between three different suppliers is where most of the cost of a system appears, long after the invoice for building it.

Should you build this at all?

If a product exists that does eighty per cent of it, we will tell you to buy that instead.

Our story

How a build
engagement runs

Scope and architecture

What it has to do, what it has to comply with, and which decisions will be expensive to reverse later.

2 to 4 weeks
01

Build in increments

Working software you can accept in stages, with security requirements treated as part of the build.

Per project
02

Documentation and conformity

The technical file assembled as the work happens rather than reconstructed for an assessment afterwards.

Continuous
03

Maintenance and reporting

Handled for the agreed period, with a route for reporting that meets the deadlines rather than meeting them by chance. Where you keep maintenance in-house, we hand over the process and the file rather than only the code.

The kinds of systems
we build the most

Purple Elipse - Sparagus
Expertise

Business applications

Custom software where no product fits, and integration between the ones that nearly do.

Embedded software

Firmware and device software, squarely inside the new product cybersecurity rules.

Industrial systems

Control and automation, where safety requirements and security requirements now meet.

Platform modernisation

Migrations where the risk sits in the cutover rather than in writing the new thing.

Data platforms and pipelines

Pipelines and reporting layers, usually the easiest scope to define properly.

Integration and interfaces

The connective work that nobody scopes and everybody discovers.

Sectorswe build systems for

Automotive and manufacturing

Connected products where the cybersecurity rules now attach to the device itself.

Energy and utilities

Operational technology, where a security requirement and a safety requirement can conflict.

Financial services

Where a build engagement also sits inside the ICT third-party question.
