Our Mission

We make cybersecurity actionable for industrial companies. Our goal is to translate complex security requirements into clear, manageable processes — so you can focus on your core business.

Security

Security is not optional, but the foundation for sustainable product development.

Simplicity

Making complex requirements understandable and actionable.

Partnership

We work closely with our customers and understand their challenges.

Quality

Made in Germany — highest standards in development and data protection.

What sets us apart

The security expert your team could never hire.

Product security in mechanical engineering rarely fails because of a lack of will. It fails because no single person can see everything, know everything, and assess everything. That's exactly what Complioty is built for.

Sees the whole product – not just the code.

A machine is hardware, proprietary software, and installed firmware. If you only scan code, you miss two-thirds of your product. We build the SBOM across all three layers: purchased, custom-developed, and installed.

Knows the sources that actually matter.

NVD and GitHub alone? That's negligent. The critical vulnerabilities for Siemens, Schneider, or Rockwell often aren't listed there — they're in vendor advisories, CSAF feeds, and OT-specific databases. We aggregate them all.

Knows what's actually critical.

Not every CVE is exploitable in your product. We prioritize using EPSS, KEV, and the concrete installation context — so you don't work through 200 vulnerabilities, but the five that matter.

Our Team

Behind Complioty stands an experienced team of experts in cybersecurity, software development, and industrial compliance.
