Security & quality at envelio
— developed for critical infrastructure
Providing software for the energy industry comes with a great deal of responsibility.
That is why security, reliability, and the highest quality standards are at the heart
of everything we do — in every feature, every process, and every release.
Our promise
In an increasingly complex and regulated energy landscape, grid operators need solutions they can rely on every day. That is exactly what envelio stands for.
Our three core promises:
1. Certified data security
We protect our customers' data with cutting-edge security mechanisms, a zero-trust architecture, and clearly defined processes — consistently meeting the strict requirements of relevant ISO standards.
2. Reliable software quality — always assured
We develop our Intelligent Grid Platform according to strictly standardized processes, continuously test it, and drive ongoing improvement.
3. Transparent & robust processes — for reliable grid operations
From development to hosting and operations: We rely on clear, transparent processes that support power system stability and consistently meet regulatory requirements.
"As a software provider for critical infrastructure, we carry a special responsibility. That is why we develop our Intelligent Grid Platform based on clear, certified processes and systematically review every change, feature, and database. Security and quality are not add-ons — they are the foundation of our work."
Philipp Goergens, VP Engineering at envelio
Security: Maximum protection for your data
At envelio, security is our top priority. Our security framework is built on a zero-trust strategy and includes both technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of sensitive data at all times. We ensure continuous verification and protection — across all systems, all data flows, and every access.
Zero-trust strategy
At envelio, we follow a zero-trust strategy across our entire security framework. This means that no access is trusted by default — every interaction is checked and verified.
Certified processes
We are certified to ISO 27001:2022, meaning we meet the internationally recognized requirements for information security management systems (ISMS).
Our ISMS follows a risk-based approach in line with ISO 27001. This involves systematically identifying risks to ensure the following three security objectives:
- Confidentiality
- Integrity
- Availability

Hosting & data management
- Data is stored within the EU and, upon request, exclusively in Germany.
- Data is fully encrypted both in transit and at rest.
- Backup, recovery, and emergency plans are well established.
Authentication & access control
Our solutions are protected by
- an identity provider;
- multifactor authentication (MFA); and
- conditional access.
Monitoring & detection
Our cloud monitoring captures all access data and monitors the system for unusual behavior.
Network security
We use a next-generation firewall (NGFW) to segment the internal network and divide it into logically separated subnetworks.
Segregation of customer data
Each customer receives a dedicated instance of the Intelligent Grid Platform. All data remains fully isolated from the data of others.
Selection and evaluation of partners and suppliers
Before entering into partnerships with third-party suppliers, we thoroughly evaluate them with regard to relevance and confidentiality requirements. Our tech stack — powerful and state of the art:
Quality: Reliability at every step
As software used in critical infrastructure, envelio's IGP must operate reliably at all times, deliver accurate results, and continuously evolve. That is why we rely on clear, standardized processes and a structured approach to quality across all stages of product development.
Secure software development process
Quality starts with software development. That is why we follow the secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) approach, ensuring that every change is tested and documented.
Integral parts of this approach include
- a dual-control process for all code changes;
- automated security testing in the CI pipeline; and
- testing of all changes across Dev, QA, and Prod.
Automated quality assurance
To ensure that envelio's Intelligent Grid Platform operates reliably under real-world grid conditions, we rely on continuous testing — automated and based on realistic data.
Our quality assurance involves the following tests:
- Unit testing
- Integration testing
- End-to-end (E2E) testing
- Automated testing of all CI builds
- Regular releases tested in a standardized deployment process
With these testing processes in place, we ensure that new features are delivered reliably and that existing features maintain their proven quality.
Continuous data quality monitoring
Data forms the foundation of every grid calculation. That is why we ensure that it is accurate, up to date, and complete at all times.
Our measures:
- Automated data quality testing
- Monitoring mechanisms that detect inconsistencies
- Regular verification of customer data during onboarding in collaboration with the respective grid operator
This is how, at envelio, we provide our customers with a reliable database. To learn more, visit out service page.
