The risk has shifted

When the system decides, food safety needs to evaluate the system.

Automation, sensors, PLC/SCADA, electronic records, and real-time data create new points of control and new points of failure. The risk is no longer only in the process; it is also in how data, setpoints, alarms, access, and decisions are governed.

Key questions

Questions that reveal digital risk

  1. Who can change critical setpoints?
  2. Are electronic records complete, traceable, and protected?
  3. Do alarms generate action or only data noise?
  4. Does HACCP reflect digital controls and automated decisions?
  5. Can the operation reconstruct what happened before, during, and after a deviation?

Technical fronts

Work fronts

Digital HACCP and critical controls

Review of hazards, limits, monitoring, and corrective actions where digital systems influence food safety decisions.

Setpoint and access governance

Control of permissions, changes, records, and responsibilities for critical process parameters.

Data integrity and traceability

Assessment of completeness, consistency, protection, and retrieval of electronic records.

Industrial cybersecurity with a food-safety lens

Technical reading of cyber exposure that can affect product safety, continuity, and evidence.

Scope is defined per operation, combining axes according to your digital maturity.

Certifee methodology

A practical method for industrial digital risk

  1. Map critical digital controls

    Identify systems, records, alarms, and automated decisions that affect food safety.

  2. Assess governance and evidence

    Review access, change control, data integrity, and traceability.

  3. Classify risk and priority

    Classify digital vulnerabilities by impact, probability, and urgency.

  4. Define action plan

    Translate findings into practical improvements for quality, operations, maintenance, IT, and leadership.
