Change management review

Assessment of updates and patches, so approved products stay approved.

Overview

Software changes constantly. Without a controlled process, a small update can quietly invalidate a certificate.

We review your change control procedures and assess individual changes, deciding whether they need retesting and how much, so you can release with confidence and keep your approvals valid.

What we test

  • Classification of changes by impact on certified components
  • Review of release notes, diffs and critical files
  • Targeted regression testing where required
  • Version control and build reproducibility
  • Your internal change management procedures

What you submit

  • Change request and release notes
  • Code diffs or build comparison
  • Updated critical file hashes
  • Reference to the existing certificate

What you receive

  • Change assessment report
  • Updated certificate or confirmation of continued approval
  • Findings report, where retesting is needed

Timeline and pricing

Both depend on the scope of the product and the number of markets. We agree a fixed quote and a timeline at scoping, before any work starts, and you can follow progress throughout.

How the work runs

Scope, test, certify, maintain.

1

Scope

We go through your submission and target markets, then agree exactly what needs testing. You get a fixed quote before work starts.

2

Test

Our engineers run the mathematics, functional, RNG and security checks. You follow each stage, with a Technical Account Manager on hand.

3

Certify

You receive the report and certificate for the regulations and jurisdictions you are entering, ready to send to the regulator.

4

Maintain

We keep approvals current with periodic audits, and handle changes, reskins and renewals before they become urgent.
