Systems assurance

Systems assurance

Systems assurance is the planned and systematic set of activities that assure systems engineering processes and products conform with systems requirements for safety, reliability, availability, maintainability, standards, procedures, and regulations.

Systems assurance:
*assures processes and products meet their specified requirements, are consistent, complete, correct as warranted for the system and operating environment, and satisfies stakeholder needs; and
*enables proactive identification and addresses areas of inadequate analysis, deficient risk mitigation plans, certification/verification inadequacies, or process/product non-compliances having the potential to impact safety, reliability, availability, maintainability, or overall mission-assured success.
