Germany-based, Secfix helps SMEs get certified in the security standard that they need to meet – in particular ISO 27001, but also TISAX, GDPR & SOC 2. What is ISO 27001? the most popular IT ‘seal of approval’ in Europe (& beyond). Whilst mostly voluntary, it is mandatory in some industries & countries e.g. in Germany, critical industries (KRITIS) must (according to §8a BSIG) implement ISO 27001 (or IT Grundshutz by BSI) ISO 27001 vs. SOC2? ISO 27001 focuses on establishing & maintaining an effective IT security mgmt system, while SOC2 merely evaluates the effectiveness of controls related to specific problem areas (e.g. security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality & privacy) TISAX? developed by the ENX Association, it is...

Netherlands-based, Qualinx has developed a new radio chip that can receive geo-positioning info from the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) (which includes GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo & most other constellations). Qualinx patented core innovation is based on advancements in RF CMOS tech; in essence, “Qualinx managed to digitalize most analog building blocks in a GNSS receiver”. Otherwise said, “Qualinx's GNSS engine uses a novel digital baseband, enabling parallel digital processing instead of current sequential processing”. To achieve this, “a digital phase-locked loop (PLL) has been used to reduce power consumption, whilst reducing the total area of the system & enhancing total radio performance”. In fact, the chip (which will be controlled by an ARM Cortex...
