Responsible Engineering
How we take responsibility for what we build: security, privacy, robustness and documentation.
The background is a map of DNT's six areas and the connections between them. Digital Products is connected to Software & AI. Software & AI is connected to Digital Products, Connected Systems, Automation & CTS and R&D. Connected Systems is connected to Software & AI, Automation & CTS and Hardware & Machines. Automation & CTS is connected to Software & AI, Connected Systems and Hardware & Machines. Hardware & Machines is connected to Connected Systems, Automation & CTS and R&D. R&D is connected to Software & AI and Hardware & Machines.
Responsibility
Security
Access is limited to those who need it, and systems are divided so that a fault or an attack in one part does not spread to everything.
Privacy
We collect as little personal data as the task allows, and we are clear about what is collected and why.
Robustness
Systems are built to handle failure: timeouts, fallbacks and safe states instead of sudden stops.
Documentation
What we build is documented, so it can be operated, maintained and handed over - and does not depend on one person.
We only state that a system meets a specific standard after a concrete assessment.
