At Critical Systems Labs Inc., we combine the experience and diverse knowledge of our highly qualified team to solve problems and help our clients develop, deploy and operate safe systems and products. We invest in an active R&D program in search of better methods and tools for meeting challenges in managing safety risk for complex systems, including our flagship product, Socrates™, that has evolved from an in-house tool into a fully supported product for developing and maintaining assurance case arguments.


For many systems based on conventional technology, the functional safety concept is already well understood. However, for systems at the frontier of advanced technology, part of “innovating safely” begins with the development of a functional safety concept that combines a deep understanding of the underlying technology with detailed knowledge of the operational environment and procedures.


Our team of experts specialize in systems engineering, software engineering, computer science, safety engineering, formal (mathematical) methods, mechatronics, electrical and computer engineering, and physics. Advanced critical thinking abilities, technical diversity and collaborative skills allow CSL to tackle very complex problems at the forefront of advanced technology and across industry domains to come up with novel solutions. The success of our methods and our ability to work effectively with technical experts in other organizations is a key reason why many of our clients have repeatedly turned to CSL for help with their technical challenges.
