The lightweight flight risk management solution
Meeting all relevant European Commission regulations
aviaQ aviaGuard is a flight risk management solution designed to meet the current requirements of Commission regulations
- Inital Airworthiness (EU) No 748/2012
- Continuing Airworthiness (EU) No 1321/2014
- Air Operations (EU) No 965/2012
Its configurable terminology by default stems directly from the ISO31000:2018 risk management standard.
Lightweight comprehensive risk management process support
The lightweight, flexible risk management process support implemented in aviaQ aviaGuard bases on proven international standards, which were identified as the predominant flight risk management standards in a recent study [1], such as ISO31000:2018.
aviaQ aviaGuard allows for alignment with the COBIT5 for Risk:2019 principles as well as the Risk IT domains for legacy risk management.
aviaQ aviaGuard integrates lightweight risk control tracking to support the full structured enterprise risk management cycle outlined in most international standards:

In more dynamic scenarios, configurable likelihood and consequence scales easily taylor aviaGuard to lightweight agile risk management methods – or to previously used risk management methodologies.
Lightweight process activity support
aviaQ aviaGuard continuously incorporates new interfaces for risk identification, risk alerting and risk reporting. Adding identified risks takes only seconds rather than minutes via automatic interfaces or the streamlined graphical user interface!
Configurable likelihood and consequence scales facilitate risk analysis and evaluation.
Lightweight audit and control monitoring
Clear responsibilities by single risk ownership and integrated risk change and change author tracking provide risk traceability for risk audits.
Multiple risk evolution graphs in aviaQ aviaGuard significantly reduce the effort in risk monitoring as well as in gathering and providing aggregated and detail risk audit information. These graphs also support success analyses for risk controls.
The comprehensive view on risks and controls provides a reliable basis for the following continual improvement steps.
Lightweight, safe use and migration
aviaQ aviaGuard runs in a European GDPR-compliant cloud as a web-based software-as-a-service which supports single-sign-on for seamless integration with other systems from a user perspective.
Configurable likelihood and consequence scales enable a smooth migration from existing risk management systems.
Lightweight service plans
The per-user annual service plans adjust aviaGuard to every demand – from very small aircraft operations, services or airports to large world-wide airlines.
