Z-CMS testimonials by
our happy 😄 customers
Renesas has been utilizing Z-CMS for managing the analysis and documentation for our connectivity devices in accordance with the RED Cybersecurity standards 18031-x. The tool has enabled us to ramp up faster and complete our analysis efficiently.
T.K. Krishnaswamy – VP Connectivity
Z-CMS enabled us to create EN 18031 technical documentation in just 2-3 person-weeks, allowing us to approach the Notified Body assessment with newfound confidence.
U. Nicoletti – Director of Product and Engineering
Z-CMS made it significantly easier for us at Loxone to understand and apply the EN 18031 requirements. The question-driven structure helped us quickly gain clarity and complete the technical documentation for one of our products in just a few days.
L. Aiglesberger – Applications Lead
Z-CMS served as a central platform for various stakeholders, facilitating collaboration in many aspects of EN 18031 compliance activities. The time and cost savings were significant, allowing us to complete our self-assessment for 4 product families in just 5 months.
M. Hartl – Head of Safety and Security
The true value of Z-CMS lies in the extensive IoT cybersecurity expertise of the Zealience Team, which is evident throughout the software. The proposed methodology, question flow, and detailed guidance made us feel as if we had an expert by our side, guiding us through the complexities of EN 18031 compliance.
M. Mazurek – Implementation Team Manager
Z-CMS makes RED DA compliance much less daunting and frustrating. We created our first technical file manually before purchasing the tool, but we discarded it and started over once we understood Z-CMS's capabilities.
P. McGrotty – Embedded System Architect
Z-CMS provided clear, structured guidance in understanding EN18031 and its requirements. The tool is intuitive, reduces the need for manual documentation, and streamlines the key steps of the EN18031 compliance analysis and documentation process.
L. Wilhelm – Head of Embedded Systems Development
Thanks to the Q&A structure of Z-CMS, creating our technical documentation became significantly easier. Beyond the software itself, the quick support and the insightful discussions around the EN 18031 standards were extremely valuable.
M. Lauterbach – Head of Software
The main benefit of Z-CMS is that it is much easier to get started with its question-based approach than to start the technical documentation from scratch with an empty document.
P. Schuster – Product Owner Identification and Access Management Devices
Z-CMS has been a great resource, not only for self-assessment of our products but also for developing real cybersecurity expertise. Its clear and practical evaluation approach really helped us move forward independently and confidently.
A. Cau – R&D Director
We used Zealience for three products with significant functional overlap. Zealience enabled us to reuse large portions of the documentation across products, helping us maintain a clear overview. Now, we can manage the different products over time without getting lost in spreadsheets.
M. Grimm – Head of Architecture & Data
Z-CMS has streamlined the overall EN 18031 compliance process for us. The tool and templates have reduced the amount of manual work involved and helped keep documentation consistent and up-to-date even when dealing with fast-moving product development.
M. Chiang – Principal Systems Engineer
Z-CMS helps us understand and fulfil the standards of the EN 18031 series more efficiently through targeted questions and guidance, enhancing our data consistency so that we and our customers can bring products to market more quickly.
S. Allemann – Electronics Engineer & Product Developer
Z-CMS has streamlined our EN18031 compliance process significantly. It's a trusted solution that gives us full confidence in meeting regulatory requirements while delivering substantial savings in time and manpower.
J. Hauger – Head of Development Embedded Systems
We have already successfully used Z-CMS in numerous projects. It helps our customers to develop an understanding of EN 18031, ensure long-term compliance and efficiently create the required technical documentation. We not only use the tool ourselves but also offer consulting services to integrate it into the development process of our customers so that they can implement and maintain the documentation independently in the long run.
K. Morwinski – Manager Operating Systems & Security
Z-CMS made approaching EN18031 assessment smoother by guiding us through the various requirements and providing recommendations along the way. The requirements graphs are a big help to visualize relationships, and exporting them improved our internal documentation.
M. Belaouad – CTO
The structured approach of Z-CMS and the clear mapping of requirement relations make EN 18031 compliance far more manageable. Combined with Zealience's fast and insightful support, it's an excellent solution.
M. Weber – Lead Embedded Software Architect
