Engineering-minded
We connect security recommendations to architecture, development and operating reality so teams can act on them.
Product security · IoT · Compliance
Cybersecurity for products that have to work in the real world.
We help manufacturers and technology teams reduce product security risk, navigate RED / EN 18031 requirements, and build monitoring and response capabilities that hold up in practice.
Project-based support tailored to your product, architecture and risk.

The problem we solve
Security that survives contact with the product.
Connected products sit at the intersection of software, hardware, networks, regulation and operational reality. A useful security programme has to connect all of them.
We start with the context: what the product does, how it is built, what matters to the business, which requirements apply and where the risk actually sits. Then we define a proportionate scope of work.
Expertise
From compliance questions to operational security.
Advisory, engineering and security operations thinking — connected around the same product context.
01
For connected-product manufacturers entering or operating in the EU
RED / EN 18031 compliance
Turn regulatory requirements into a product-specific gap assessment, evidence plan and remediation path.
What you leave with
02
Clear applicability, evidence needs and prioritised actions.
For teams facing an architecture, risk or security-design decision
Cybersecurity consulting
Assess the real system, identify meaningful risks and translate findings into engineering decisions your team can implement.
What you leave with
03
Risk clarity, security requirements and a pragmatic remediation roadmap.
For organisations collecting telemetry without enough security signal
Monitoring & threat detection
Define what should be observable, which behaviours matter and how detections should support investigation and response.
What you leave with
04
Useful telemetry, prioritised detection cases and response-ready context.
For distributed IoT environments where classic SOC assumptions break down
Smart SOC for IoT
Shape an operating model around device identity, network behaviour, product context and practical incident response.
What you leave with
An IoT-focused monitoring model and a prioritised implementation path.
How we work
Start with context.
Finish with capability.
We do not force every client into the same package. Scope follows the product, maturity, regulation, architecture and business objective.
Scope an engagement- 01
Understand the system
Product boundaries, data flows, architecture, stakeholders, constraints and the business outcome.
- 02
Assess risk and requirements
Applicable obligations, threat scenarios, current controls, gaps and evidence quality.
- 03
Implement what matters
Security requirements, technical changes, processes, logging, detections or remediation priorities.
- 04
Leave the organisation stronger
Processes and decision-making structures that stay useful after the engagement ends.
Built for real constraints
Not a report factory. Not a tool catalogue.
Proportionate
The right amount of process and control depends on the product, risk, maturity and business objective — not a generic template.
Evidence-led
Where compliance matters, we focus on decisions and evidence that can be traced back to the product and its security posture.
Operational
Security should continue after assessment: through development practices, monitoring, detection and response.
Where we add value
Questions teams usually need to answer.
These are the kinds of problems an engagement can help structure and resolve.
01
Which RED / EN 18031 requirements are relevant to this product, and what evidence do we actually need?
02
Where are the meaningful product-security risks in our architecture, interfaces and data flows?
03
Which logging and detection capabilities would materially improve our ability to spot and investigate incidents?
04
How do we build vulnerability management, secure development and response processes without creating unnecessary overhead?
About Obliveo Labs
Cybersecurity with both technical depth and business context.
Our experience spans large enterprise environments and mid-sized technology organisations. That perspective helps us work across governance expectations, engineering reality and the constraints of teams that need a concrete outcome.
More about our approach ↗FAQ
Before we start.
Clear scope, clear responsibilities and no inflated promises.
Do you work only on RED / EN 18031 projects?
No. Product compliance is one area of our work. We also support broader cybersecurity consulting, security engineering, monitoring and detection for products, infrastructure and organisational processes.
Do you provide a fixed cybersecurity package?
We prefer to understand the product, architecture, maturity, regulation and business objective first. From there we propose a proportionate scope rather than forcing the same checklist onto every client.
Can you help after an assessment is complete?
Yes. The intended model is not to stop at findings. Depending on the engagement, support can include security requirements, remediation planning, vulnerability management, secure-development practices, logging, detection and response processes.
How does a project begin?
With a short scoping conversation. We clarify the system, objective, timing, stakeholders and any regulatory context, then define the right next step.
Start with the context
Tell us what you are building — or what is keeping you up at night.
We will help structure the problem and determine a sensible scope for the next step.
