Safety-Critical Systems Consultancy

Safety, airworthiness,
and cyber security.
Done properly.

A specialist consultancy bringing practitioner depth to safety, airworthiness, cyber security, and Secure by Design across complex safety-critical environments. Founded by those who have operated inside the regulatory system, not just advised from outside it.

MOD — Every Level

From regulatory authority to operational frontline, our directors have worked at every level of the MOD, bringing genuine inside knowledge of how the system works in practice.

Full System Capability

From safety case to Secure by Design. The complete technical and regulatory chain covered without gaps, by a team whose disciplines intersect by design.

Practitioner Experience

Not advisory distance. Every director has operated inside the organisations and systems they now advise on.

What We Do

Expertise that spans the whole system

Safety, airworthiness, and cyber security are not separate disciplines in the environments Veriten works in. They intersect at exactly the points where the consequences of getting it wrong are most serious. The team's depth across all three is what makes the difference.

01
Safety & Risk Management

Safety case development, bow-tie analysis, and structured risk assessment for high-hazard environments. Grounded in regulatory frameworks and operational reality.

02
Airworthiness

Military and civil airworthiness across the full spectrum, covering Part 21, Part M, Part 145, and MAA MRP compliance across the Air Engineers’ Toolkit and Military Maintenance Organisations.

03
Cyber Security

Systems engineering-based cyber security for safety-critical and high-integrity systems. Covering Secure by Design, OT and SCADA security, cyber assurance and accreditation, airworthiness security under DO-326A/ED-202, and CNI environments including rail, energy, and nuclear.

04
Digital Delivery

Power Platform-based compliance process digitisation, safety management information systems, and data-driven assurance tooling.

05
Regulatory Compliance

Policy development, process design, and assurance support. This covers regulatory interpretation through to implementation within complex programme environments.

06
BowTieXP

Authorised distributor and implementation partner for Wolters Kluwer Enablon Bowtie Suite. Resale, configuration, facilitation, and enterprise deployment of BowTieXP.

How We Work

A capability built on integration

Veriten's value is not in offering four separate disciplines. It is in the way those disciplines interact. Safety, airworthiness, cyber security, and digital assurance each inform the others. Systems engineering is the discipline that holds the integration together, and it is where the most complex problems are solved.

SAFETY Ensuring systems remain acceptably safe throughout their lifecycle. AIRWORTHINESS Maintaining assurance and compliance across military and civil aviation environments. SYSTEMS ENGINEERING Connecting Safety, Security & Assurance CYBER SECURITY Protecting safety-critical and operational technology systems through secure-by-design principles. DIGITAL ASSURANCE Transforming governance, compliance and assurance into practical digital solutions and actionable insight. DELIVERING REGULATORY COMPLIANCE & OPERATIONAL ASSURANCE Integrated expertise ensuring systems are safe, airworthy, secure and compliant throughout their lifecycle.

Practitioner experience.
Not just consultancy.

Veriten was established to meet a genuine and growing demand for safety engineering and risk management support that is independent, impartial, and genuinely expert. It has been assembled specifically for this purpose, with complementary capability across all stated expertise areas.

One

Inside the Regulator

Direct experience within the MAA means regulatory literacy built from inside the system, not acquired at arm's length. That understanding shapes every piece of advice Veriten gives.

Two

Boardroom to Sharp End

From regulatory authority and programme delivery at the most senior levels to operational engineering on the flight line, the team has operated at every level. That breadth of perspective is rare and genuinely useful.

Three

Solutions That Work

A proven track record of designing and implementing solutions that are not just technically correct but succeed in practice, within the constraints of real organisations and real programmes.

How We Work

Clear process. Substantive output.

We engage directly, work to understand your specific context, and deliver outputs that are technically sound and practically useful.

01

Understand

We take time to understand your context, constraints, and what a genuinely useful outcome looks like for your organisation.

02

Assess

Structured analysis of the regulatory, technical, and organisational landscape, identifying what matters and why.

03
