Tool actionism
Buy licences, hand out accounts, hope. Without governance and process integration it stays a toy — and nobody is accountable when something goes wrong.

TÜV Süd AI Officer/ISO/IEC 42001/Munich
Adopting AI is easy. Adopting it right takes governance.
For 15 years we have secured software and hardware development with testing and quality management. We now bring that same standard to the use of AI in your processes.
We guide upper mid-sized companies from AI governance through development process automation to AI in their own products. Consulting, implementation and support from one team.

FINDINGS / 01
Three ways to get AI wrong
We see them every week. All three end the same way: effort without impact.
F-02
Data protection blind flight
Customer data and engineering know-how end up in third-party clouds. GDPR, trade secrets and the EU AI Act become a risk instead of a framework.
✕ NOT AUDITABLE
F-03
The PoC graveyard
One pilot after another, none of them ever reaching production. Because the path from idea to auditable operations was never planned.
✕ NOT AUDITABLE
APPROACH / 02
The goal: an AI-first company. The path: stages.
We do not force AI on top of your processes — that only makes a difficult system more difficult. We optimise your processes for AI and then scale up: in plannable, individually measurable steps towards a jointly agreed target. How far you go is your decision — the stages are expansion levels, not a mandatory route. The human steers, the AI handles the routine — the full target picture is at AI for Strategy.
- ST-01 Weeks 1–8
Governance & readiness
Most companies simply do not know where to start: GDPR, the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, liability. We audit your processes, data and governance, and build the foundation AI scales on: AI management, data management, AI governance. After this stage you know exactly what you may do, what you need, and what it will deliver.
- Audit: processes, data, governance
- Gap analysis ISO/IEC 42001 & 27001
- EU AI Act risk classification
- Department-level training with concrete use cases
- ST-02 From month 2
AI in the development process
Your V-model, accelerated by AI: requirements reviews, code assistance, automated test case derivation, intelligent pipelines. Integrated into your toolchain — not bolted on beside it.
- Requirements engineering: review, consistency, testability
- Code assistance & review automation
- Test case generation & test automation
- CI/CD pipelines with AI gates
- ST-03 After stages 1 + 2
AI in your product
Only those who master their own processes can bring AI into their products responsibly. Architecture, safeguarding, compliance by design — aligned with the EU AI Act and ISO 42001.
- AI architecture & make-or-buy
- Compliance by design
- Safeguarding & test concepts for AI features
- ST-04 Continuous
Ongoing support
We do not disappear after go-live. Monitoring, audits, continuous improvement — service comes first.
- Operations & monitoring
- Audit support
- Continuous optimisation
How we deliver this: the V-AI-SCALER method
In five steps from assessment to scaled routine operations — measurable, governance-compliant, in the process instead of as an island. See the method →
ENGINEERING / 03
AI where your product is built: inside the V-model
From requirements through planning and development to testing and pipelines — we steward every step with AI and bring every team along. Integrated into your toolchain: Polarion, Jira, Jenkins, Codebeamer, Azure DevOps and more.
AI use in every phase One process map, three depths: executives · engineering/QA leads · teams
EXECUTIVES Risk, cost, release
Management sees maturity, obligations, priorities and evidence it can rely on.
ENGINEERING / QA Traceability, gates, test strategy
Leads see where AI connects artifacts, protects quality and removes bottlenecks.
TEAMS Prompts, artifacts, automation
Developers and testers work concretely in requirements, code, tests and pipelines.
