Case Study: EaziU — From Design to the Development of a Secure SaaS and IoT Product

EaziU is an innovative startup that has developed a SaaS product integrated with IoT devices, aiming to revolutionize its target market.

Challenge

The startup set out to design and develop a SaaS product with strong IoT integration, ensuring a high level of cybersecurity to protect the sensitive data it handles. With a limited internal team, EaziU required strategic and operational consulting to oversee the entire process — from design to the implementation of the technical architecture, including both software and firmware.

Project Objectives

• Define requirements and design (TRL 1) a SaaS architecture integrated with IoT devices.
• Implement a cybersecurity architecture for both software and firmware, achieving a technology readiness level (TRL) of 8.

V-Research’s Solution

We adopted a risk-based, security-by-design approach, developing tailored solutions to meet the startup’s unique needs. Key activities included:

• Formalizing requirements and designing the physical and functional architectures.
• Implementing cloud-based security architectures to protect the SaaS infrastructure.
• Developing firmware for the IoT product, emphasizing security from the design phase.
• Setting up environments and pipelines for development and production, ensuring efficiency and scalability.

Results

With our support, EaziU achieved the following outcomes:

• Launched its product on schedule.
• Secured its first customers, who praised the product’s robustness and effectiveness.
• Gained increased trust from partners and investors, thanks to the implementation of robust security solutions.

Conclusion

“V-Research has proven to be up to the challenge, providing EaziU with a secure and reliable cloud infrastructure from the very beginning. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to meet the stringent requirements imposed by IoT devices, ensuring rapid response times and the necessary availability of server processes at every stage of the project.”
