Solution
System Safety for Aerospace. Inside Polarion. Certification Ready by Design.
Your SSA is evidence, and the certification review expects it to match the design that flies. Nextedy brings ARP4761 safety assessment into Polarion — FHA, failure conditions and safety objectives maintained through the program, not assembled before the review.

Problem
The Core Question: How Many of Your System Requirements are Really Born from Risk?
General Safety-Critical Systems
30–60 %
High-Integrity Systems
60–80 %
Regulated IT/Automation Systems
40–70 %
Cybersecurity Requirements
80–100 %
In aerospace, safety requirements are born from the safety assessment: functions get failure conditions (FHA), failure conditions get severity classes and safety objectives, objectives set DALs — and every derived safety requirement must trace back to one, and forward to its verification.
The Work Exists. The Evidence Chain Is Fragile.
60–80% of requirements come from risk analyses, yet most organizations run them in separate spreadsheets, disconnected from requirements.
Risk, requirements, and verification drift apart; traceability becomes manual; audits turn into fire drills.
Solution
One Engineering Record. From Failure Condition to Evidence.
Requirements, Risks, and Verification — One System.
Safety objectives create derived requirements. Requirements need verification. When the safety assessment lives in the same system as both, the chain — failure condition → safety objective (DAL) → requirement → test → compliance — is already linked, in one view. Traceability becomes a by-product of engineering: it’s a column the analyst already sees.
Eliminate exports and silos
Improve collaboration across safety, engineering, and V&V
Connect FHA and FMEA directly to downstream work
Feels Like Excel. Behaves Like a Database.
Analysts think in rows. Authorities think in records. You shouldn’t have to choose. RISKSHEET gives your team the spreadsheet ergonomics they know — while every row is a live Polarion Work Item: traced, versioned, permission-controlled. Severity classification and objective checks recalculate as you type; threshold colors surface the critical conditions at a glance.
Reduce the learning curve
Manage large FHA sheets and detailed FMEAs efficiently
Get instant feedback from live calculations and evaluations
Every Analysis. One Record. Your Interpretation.
The tool doesn’t prescribe your process — the template does. Run each analysis your safety assessment requires — FHA (functional hazard assessment: failure conditions, severity classes, safety objectives), FMEA/FMES, supporting analyses within your PSSA/SSA flow per ARP4761 — as connected sheets over the same live Polarion data. Configure fields, classifications, probability targets, formulas, and workflows to how your organization interprets the standard.
Start from best-practice templates
Adapt fields, logic, and workflows to your process
Drive consistency across teams and programs
A Risk Isn’t Closed When It’s Classified.
It’s closed when its safety objective, requirement, verification, and compliance evidence are connected. In RISKSHEET, a mitigation becomes a live Polarion work item with an owner, a workflow state, and a due date — its status mirrored back into the sheet. Reviews and approvals run on your existing Polarion workflows; every change writes itself into the audit trail.
Configure review and approval flows
Trigger notifications automatically
Maintain a clear audit trail for every change
Not “FHA Once.” Evidence That Survives Change.
Certification evidence is a lifecycle obligation: it must stay maintained as the design changes — through architecture iterations, derivatives, supplier changes, and in-service findings. Baseline at every milestone, compare revisions, and see exactly which failure conditions, requirements, and verifications a change touches.
Baseline assessments at key milestones
Compare revisions and identify deltas instantly
Support change impact analysis with confidence
The Safety Case — Generated, Not Assembled.
Your SSA should be read from maintained engineering data — not reconstructed before the certification review. Generate assessment reports, FHA and FMEA work products, traceability matrices, and audit trails on demand, from the same live record your engineers work in.
Export FHA, FMEA, matrices, and audit trails
Keep reports accurate and up to date
Generate documentation from a single source of truth

How Are Products Licensed?
As an annual software subscription. Active users of a given app need a Named Active User license for that product; a Connect license is required per server and gives every Polarion user read-only access to that app's views as a report. A commercial license covers one production instance on one Polarion server, including a load-balanced or multi-node cluster.

When a Security Threat Becomes a Failure Condition, One Record Must Show Both.
When a Security Threat Becomes a Failure Condition, One Record Must Show Both.
The FHA sees the failure condition. The threat analysis sees the attack path. Increasingly, one control serves both — and DO-326A / ED-202A brings airworthiness security into the same lifecycle discipline as safety. Nextedy runs both on the same Polarion record, with a bridge between them — a security risk with a safety effect links straight into your assessment.
