Why Choose Data Link Manager
Safety and cybersecurity standards increasingly demand bidirectional traceability between requirements and analysis artefacts. Data Link Manager automates that linkage. TMG configures the integration so your team works inside their existing tools while DLM keeps everything synchronised.
Bidirectional Requirements Sync
Transfer requirements between your requirements management tool and Isograph products. DLM maintains the link — when a requirement changes upstream, the linked fault tree event, FMECA consequence or attack tree gate is flagged for review. No more stale safety case artefacts.
Automated Consistency Checks
DLM applies consistency checks across the requirements-to-analysis boundary, verifying quantitative goals (failure probability, MTBF, ASIL targets) and requirement coverage. Audit-ready evidence is produced automatically rather than assembled manually before each review.
Standards-Compliance Automation
Support standards including ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, SAE J3061, DO-356, ED-203, ARP 4761 and IEC 61508 by automating the requirements-management linkage to safety and security methods. TMG configures the integration to your specific standard’s evidence requirements.
Jama Connect Integration
DLM integrates Reliability Workbench, Availability Workbench and AttackTree with Jama Connect® — the leading requirements management platform for automotive, aerospace and medical device safety. TMG has implemented Jama-Isograph integrations for fleet OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
DOORS & reqSuite Integration
For organisations using IBM Rational® DOORS® or OSSENO’s reqSuite® RM, DLM provides equivalent integration depth. TMG configures the link, defines the field mapping, and trains analysts on the daily workflow.
Configuration & Training
TMG delivers DLM configuration as a packaged engagement: link design, field mapping, consistency rule definition, deployment, and analyst training. Available onsite or remote, scoped to your specific requirements management platform.
How The Mantua Group Works With You
DLM rollouts typically follow your requirements-management platform deployment. We scope our engagement to your existing toolchain — whether that’s a greenfield Jama implementation or a long-established DOORS environment.
We Do — You Learn
For teams new to requirements traceability, TMG leads the full DLM configuration: requirements-management tool integration, field mapping design, consistency rule definition, and pilot project validation. Your team observes the build to develop ongoing operational capability.
We Do Together
Our most common engagement. TMG specialists work alongside your safety, cyber and requirements engineers in structured workshops. We bring the DLM expertise; you bring deep knowledge of your product, requirements vocabulary and analysis patterns.
We Train — You Do
TMG delivers DLM training covering link configuration, field mapping, consistency rule definition, daily analyst workflow and audit evidence generation. Available as public courses or dedicated onsite workshops aligned to your requirements management platform.
Independent Review & Audit
TMG audits existing DLM configurations for completeness of field mapping, integrity of consistency rules, alignment with safety case evidence requirements, and analyst adoption. We deliver a written remediation plan with prioritised actions.
Connect Your Toolchain
Whether you’re standing up requirements traceability for the first time, migrating from manual spreadsheet linkage, or auditing an existing DLM configuration — The Mantua Group is ready to help.
