Core Security Risk Assessment Capabilities
From the product context and threat model to risk assessment, security requirements and countermeasures – EnCo ASE provides the tools to build and maintain structured security risk assessments for industrial products.
Product Context & Threat Model
Describe the product, its environment and the threats it is exposed to.
- Model components, interfaces, data flows and trust boundaries
- Identify assets and their security properties
- Identify threats systematically for every element
- Keep the threat model linked to the system design
Risk Assessment & Security Levels
Evaluate risks consistently and derive the required protection.
- Assess likelihood and impact with configurable risk models
- Derive risk levels and the targeted security level
- Use catalogs of typical threats and vulnerabilities
- Keep assessments consistent and reproducible across products
Security Requirements & Countermeasures
Turn assessed risks into requirements and defense-in-depth measures.
- Derive security requirements from the assessed risks
- Define countermeasures and assign them to threats and requirements
- Track the implementation and verification status of measures
- Evaluate the residual risk after mitigation
Review, Reporting & Documentation
Keep security risk assessment information structured and available for audits and communication.
- Work with review workflows and dashboards
- Version projects and compare analysis states
- Generate reports and cybersecurity documentation
- Keep results accessible for engineering teams and assessors
Integrated Engineering. Connected Security Risk Assessment.
EnCo ASE connects the security risk assessment with requirements, system structures and other safety and security analyses, so engineering information can be reused, traced and maintained across the entire development process.
Requirements
Manage derived security requirements together with the other product requirements.
System Design
Reuse system structures, interfaces and data flows in the threat model.
Security Risk Assessment
Develop structured security risk assessments with connected engineering data instead of isolated information.
Attack Trees
Investigate threat scenarios in detail with the connected attack tree analysis.
Threat Assessment
Combine the assessment with threat assessments and TARA in the same environment.
Reporting
Use structured engineering data for consistent reports and project documentation.
End-to-End Traceability
Maintain relationships between requirements, system elements, threats, countermeasures and downstream analyses.
Reuse Engineering Knowledge
Use existing information across analyses and products instead of maintaining the same knowledge several times.
Consistent Engineering Data
Work with connected data instead of isolated documents and reduce inconsistencies between disciplines.
The security risk assessment becomes part of the engineering model. EnCo ASE lets teams connect analysis data across requirements, system design and security engineering instead of managing the assessment as an isolated document.
Connect Security Risk Assessment with Your Engineering Toolchain
Import existing engineering information, exchange structured assessment data and export results for further use in your development environment. EnCo ASE integrates the security risk assessment into established engineering workflows instead of creating another isolated data source.
Import
Bring existing engineering and analysis information into EnCo ASE and use available project data as the basis for further analyses.
Data Exchange
Exchange structured engineering information between EnCo ASE and other systems while preserving the relevant relationships.
Export
Export assessment information and analysis results for documentation, communication and further use in your engineering environment.
Toolchain Integration
Connect assessment activities with the surrounding engineering processes and keep information available where your teams need it.
Use Existing Data
Build on engineering information that already exists instead of recreating it manually in the assessment.
Reduce Duplicate Work
Exchange structured information across engineering activities and avoid unnecessary manual data transfer.
Keep Engineering Connected
Integrate the security risk assessment into the overall development process and preserve the links between relevant information.
Your security risk assessment does not have to stay isolated. EnCo ASE helps you move engineering information into, through and out of the assessment process – connected with your entire engineering environment.

Answers to common questions about EnCo ASE Security Risk Assessment, the IEC 62443-4-1 methodology, collaborative security analysis and the integration into your engineering processes.
What is security risk assessment software?
Security risk assessment software helps engineering teams identify, assess and treat cybersecurity risks of a product in a structured way. Instead of maintaining spreadsheets, a dedicated tool manages system elements, threats, risks, security requirements and countermeasures in one consistent data model and keeps the assessment maintainable over the product lifecycle.
What is IEC 62443-4-1?
IEC 62443-4-1 is the part of the IEC 62443 series that defines requirements for a secure product development lifecycle of industrial automation and control system components. It covers practices such as security requirements specification, threat modelling, secure design, verification and defect management.
What does SRA stand for?
SRA stands for Security Risk Assessment. It describes the systematic identification of threats to a product, the assessment of their likelihood and impact, and the derivation of security requirements and countermeasures from the resulting risks.
Does EnCo ASE follow the IEC 62443-4-1 process?
Yes. The module supports the security risk assessment activities of the secure product development lifecycle – describing the product and its security context, threat modelling, risk assessment, deriving security requirements and countermeasures, and evaluating the residual risk.
Can the risk calculation be adapted to our organisation?
Yes. EnCo ASE provides predefined risk models and additionally supports project-specific models, customisable selection lists and catalogs so the assessment fits your internal cybersecurity process.
Can several engineers work on one assessment at the same time?
Yes. Projects are stored in a central database and support multi-user collaboration, change history and review workflows – distributed teams work on the same assessment without exchanging files.
How is the assessment connected to requirements and system design?
System elements and threats can be linked to requirements and system structures. Security requirements derived from the assessment are managed as requirements for further development, and changes stay traceable.
Can the assessment be combined with other security analyses?
Yes. EnCo ASE also provides threat assessment, TARA according to ISO/SAE 21434 and attack tree analysis. Threat scenarios can be analysed in detail, and the results stay connected in the same environment.
Does EnCo ASE support reporting and documentation?
Yes. Assessment data can be documented with the integrated Report Designer and exported for communication with customers, assessors and auditors – including Excel-based reporting.
Why dedicated security risk assessment software instead of Excel?
Spreadsheets become hard to maintain when products, threats and requirements grow and change. A database-driven tool keeps relationships consistent, supports collaboration and versioning, and reduces the manual effort of keeping the assessment up to date.
