Enterprise Architect at Own development / IP of CAMCO Engineering UG
UEF 3.0 · Semantic Government Overlay (SGO) · Autonomous Systems (UAS / dual use)
- Designed: Semantic Government Overlay (SGO) – AI-guided administration without replacing existing specialist procedures. Read-only semantic layer over registers and specialist processes based on the Federal Information Management (FIM). Decision authority remains with the case worker (architecture principle).
- Developed: Reference architecture with source-backed, derived statements (Executable Ontologies OWL/RDF/SHACL). Technically guaranteed purpose limitation and no-write-path principle in specialist data – auditable, without a central data pool.
- Anchored: Regulation as a design principle: EU AI Act (high-risk obligations for public-sector AI, fundamental rights impact assessment under Art. 27), GDPR, NIS2, and administrative automation limits (§ 35a VwVfG, § 31a SGB X) as technical control points in the architecture.
- Created: Methodical tool for pilot organizations: data pipeline assessment (phase 0), compliance blueprint, and management summary as a decision-ready package for public administration.
- Specified: UEF 3.0 as a successor architecture to TOGAF – decision paper, canonical ontology, six-layer architecture, read/actuate boundary, federation registry, terminology concordance, and release delta as a closed specification status.
- Architected: AI-native mission OS for autonomous UAS and ground robotics as a tactical layer on top of a separately approved autopilot. Run-time assurance according to ASTM F3269-21 (Simplex pattern): the verified safety controller keeps authority, the AI function provides suggestions.
- Designed: Three-tier architecture – Tier 0 autopilot with 650 Hz flight control on RTOS, Tier 1 AI OS with semantic world model and multi-agent cluster, Tier 2 swarm and ground mesh. Zenoh as the primary fabric, MAVLink as the only authenticated command path (single writer). Result: graceful degradation – loss of the mission, not of the aircraft.
- Secured: Two-gate chain on the read/actuate boundary – governance gate (can-question: AI Act risk class per actuation, enforced human oversight under Art. 14, immutable log) before the RTA safety monitor (is-it-correct question: flight envelope, geofence, energy reserve) with revert to the baseline controller.
- Anchored: Dual-use architecture with common core and build-time fork instead of runtime switch. Three separate legal levels: civil variant – UAS under the EASA Basic Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 with the limited applicability under Art. 2(2) of the AI Act, ground robotics under the Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 with the full high-risk obligation chain, Cyber Resilience Act for both; unarmed carrier variant as defense material under AWG/AWV and Dual-Use Regulation 2021/821 (BAFA approval); armed variant under KrWaffKontrG. Each variant lives under exactly one dominant legal regime. Evidence base: AI BOM, SBOM, and complete data lineage.
- Analyzed: System analysis and realignment of grown engineering system landscapes. Approach concept for consolidation without migration – semantic layer over the existing sources instead of data transfer. Result: decision-ready implementation concept including an evaluation model for the target architecture.

Harald Kirsch
Last position:
Lecturer - Business Informatics & Business Administration at Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM)
As part of my work, I focus on three key areas that are essential for the innovation and future viability of business and society: business start-ups, digitalization and automation, and career planning and personal development.
One focus is on the challenges and opportunities of starting a business—especially academic start-ups as drivers of regional and national innovation. I teach skills for the entire start-up process: from idea creation and building viable business models to managing and scaling a company.
The topic of digitalization and automation covers technical, economic, and social dimensions. It includes basics of digitalization, automation technologies, IIoT and smart manufacturing, software and IT infrastructures, and application areas in various industries. I also analyze human-machine interaction, economic impacts, and future trends that have a lasting effect on companies.
In the area of career planning and personal development, I support future specialists and managers in developing their personal strengths, recognizing their entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial potential, and designing an individual market and career strategy. Topics such as personal branding, personal marketing, and strategic career planning are key to fostering long-term professional direction and proactive action.

About the technology
What the CRA covers
The EU Cyber Resilience Act sets cybersecurity rules for products with digital elements sold in the EU. It affects product design, vulnerability handling, documentation, and support across the product life cycle. Companies use it to align connected products, software, and embedded systems with the Cyber Resilience Act, or CRA.
Where it applies
It matters for teams shipping consumer devices, industrial products, and software with network or update functions. In Germany, that often means work across manufacturing, IoT, industrial tech, and enterprise software. Strong specialists map product scope early so compliance is built into release plans, not added at the end.
Typical project work
- Scope products and identify whether the CRA applies
- Review security requirements against existing controls
- Prepare technical documentation and conformity evidence
- Define vulnerability handling and update processes
- Support internal teams with product-security gaps
Skills that matter
Good professionals know product security, secure development, risk analysis, and documentation discipline. They can work with legal, engineering, QA, and product teams without creating confusion. They also understand how the CRA connects to standards, internal policies, and evidence needed for audits or assessments.
When companies bring help
Companies usually bring in freelance expertise when a launch is close, requirements are unclear, or current security practices do not match the product scope. That is common for teams in Germany that sell into the EU and need practical guidance in English or German. Freelancers can support remote reviews, on-site workshops, or hybrid compliance work.
What strong specialists deliver
- Clear product scoping and compliance gap analysis
- Practical actions for secure design and vulnerability response
- Working documentation that product and legal teams can use
- Guidance that stays focused on the real product, not theory
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about EU Cyber Resilience Act — answered in short.
The EU Cyber Resilience Act sets cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements placed on the EU market. It is used to guide secure design, documentation, vulnerability handling, and support across the product life cycle. Companies bring in specialists when they need those rules translated into concrete product work.
CRA is the common shorthand for the Cyber Resilience Act. People also search for the full name, especially when they want compliance guidance or a project review. A strong freelancer should understand both terms and use them consistently in documents and discussions.
EU Cyber Resilience Act focuses on the security of products with digital elements, not just an organisation’s internal security program. ISO 27001 is about an information security management system, while NIS2 targets network and information security for essential and important entities. Teams often need help connecting these frameworks without mixing their scope.
A strong Cyber Resilience Act specialist usually has hands-on knowledge of product security, secure development, risk analysis, and technical writing. Experience with software bills of materials, vulnerability disclosure, and conformity evidence is also useful. The best people can talk to engineering, legal, and compliance teams in plain language.
Cyber Resilience Act work often comes up for connected devices, industrial equipment, embedded systems, and software that ships with security obligations. It also matters for products that receive updates, connect to other systems, or collect and process data. If a product is sold in the EU and has digital functionality, it is worth checking early.
The CRA is not a topic for generic compliance support alone. Companies usually need someone who has already mapped product scope, identified gaps, and helped turn security requirements into practical actions. For complex products, a specialist with product-security delivery experience is far more useful than a generalist.
Cyber Resilience Act projects can often start remotely because scoping, document review, and gap analysis do not need a desk in the office. On-site time helps when teams need workshops, architecture reviews, or fast alignment across product and legal groups. Many German companies use a hybrid setup.
EU Cyber Resilience Act quality shows up in practical output, not in vague promises. Look for clear scoping, useful documentation, and recommendations that fit the actual product and release plan. Good specialists ask the right questions about product boundaries, support duties, and vulnerability handling before they suggest actions.
