JFD Global turned to Bluefruit when they needed a trusted software team that could step in, take ownership, and deliver embedded software to a fixed deadline—without compromising on safety.

JFD’s systems are designed for use in complex, safety-critical subsea environments where reliability is essential. The business entrusted Bluefruit with full responsibility for the embedded software in a diving rebreather system. Continuous integration, validation, and regular stakeholder visibility and demos were all locked into the delivery plan.

Today, on 4 August 2026, Bluefruit turns 26. It’s been another full and busy year for the business since we celebrated our quarter-century this time last year. We have grown our team. We’ve attended events locally, nationally, and around the world. We’ve continued to learn and expand our own knowledge and skills and to teach, coach, and mentor ourselves, our customers, and the software community in the never-ending pursuit of secure, safe, compliant, highest-quality software and products. And, of course, we’ve designed, written, tested, and shipped thousands of lines of embedded software code for our ever-expanding list of happy customers.

Congratulations to everyone on the team for another smooth and successful Bluefruit HQ orbit around the sun!

Q-Day is the point at which a quantum computer can break today’s encryption. Nobody will give you a firm date when this will happen, and the estimates vary. Most experts think it will be sometime in the 2030s. But for a long-life embedded product, you can skip the guesswork: if what you ship today will still be in service in the 2030s, its secure lifetime already enters the risk window.

And if your product operates in a regulated, quality- and safety-critical space, the stakes are even higher. You already carry a duty to manage security risk through standards and regulations such as IEC 62304, EU MDR, IEC 6244, and the incoming Cyber Resilience Act. And a forged firmware update here doesn’t cost you data; it costs you safety.

So, the question isn’t only ‘will my product still be secure in a decade?’ (If you don’t take action against the threat that quantum computing presents to your product’s security, it definitely won’t be). It’s ‘can I still show it’s safe and compliant?’

Bluefruit’s blog post “Quantum-safe by design: why embedded security can’t wait for Q-Day” explains the risks and challenges, and sets out five steps you should take to start your post-quantum migration today so that your product stays secure and its users stay safe 💡✅

On 11 September 2026, the mandatory vulnerability and incident reporting requirements under Article 14 of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) become legally enforceable.

If you have a connected product on the EU market, you need to be aware of your obligations under CRA. Even if your product was shipped years ago, the new act can have a significant impact retroactively.

Bluefruiter Keifer’s guide to the new act explains how existing products fall under the act, and what you will be legally required to do if an actively exploited vulnerability or severe security incident turns up in any of your live products. And you can test your own product’s CRA readiness with our short online quiz.

If you’re at Agile on the Beach, and you’ve recovered from last night’s beach party, please do come and find the friendly Bluefolk folks on our stand, say hi, and have a natter. We’d love to meet you, find out what you’re up to, and chat about your favourite talks and workshops at the conference. Plus, we’ve got some electronic toys loaded with Bluefruit hardware and software for you to have a play with.

Lots of Bluefruiters will be out and about at the conference again today. We’re a friendly bunch who love to talk tech, teamwork, and work and play in Cornwall. We’ll see you out there.

02/07/2026

If you’re at Agile on the Beach today, you should definitely stick around in Studio A after the opening keynote by the awesome Birgitta Böckeler on the state of play with AI coding assistants. Bluefruit founding director Paul Massey will follow Birgitta’s keynote with a talk on how Bluefruit is deliberately using AI to disrupt our business. Paul’s session is an AMA, so bring your questions and thoughts on integrating AI across your business to create new opportunities and disrupt yourself before AI disrupts you.

Paul’s talk is at 1010h in Studio A. We’d love to see you there and afterwards for a chat to share thoughts and ideas.

It’s time for Agile on the Beach 2026. Bluefruit has been a keen supporter of this amazing local conference for years. We like it so much because it brings together two things every Bluefruiter loves: Agile and Cornwall. This year’s conference is on Thursday 2 and Friday 3 July at a brilliant venue: Falmouth University Academy of Music and Theatre Arts (AMATA). The conference attracts attendees from all over the world with two full days of talks, learning and workshops around Software Delivery, Agility in Business, Team Working, and Product Design and Management.

This year, Bluefruit is sponsoring, we’ll have a stand at the expo, and lots of Bluefruiters will be there to learn and network. Plus, Bluefruit founder Paul Massey will be speaking on Thursday about how the business has been transforming through AI, rethinking its entire model. Paul’s session is an AMA with 20 minutes reserved for Paul to take questions from the audience and discuss how integrating AI into different parts of their business can create new opportunities.

If you’re coming along, do come and find us, we’d love to meet you and chat all things Agile, software and AI.

Many companies face challenges when testing their medical devices and the software that runs on them, especially when these devices and the processes used in their development need to meet strict regulatory standards.

To help with this problem, we’ve developed the Bluefruit V&V calculator, a custom tool that helps you calculate and see an estimate (in terms of duration, test team size, and cost) for the effort required to test the software in your own project.

Based on our own real-world experience running V&V for multiple commercial medical device projects, the tool will help you: accurately estimate testing efforts, enhance efficiency by streamlining your V&V processes while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards, and avoid delays so your product gets to market on time.

From 2 August 2026, AI systems deemed high-risk under the new EU AI Act must comply with its strict provisions. This includes AI-based components in:
- Critical infrastructure, such as transport, including autonomous vehicles and passenger safety monitoring systems

- Medical devices, such as robotic surgeon tools and therapeutic aids that help accelerate recovery through adaptive decision making
- Civilian-use defence and security systems, such as public biometric detection and threat detection tools
- Aerospace devices, such as flight control systems, aircraft health monitoring platforms, and predictive maintenance tools

If you’ve yet to get to grips with the EU AI Act, time is running short. And with a long list of legal and commercial penalties, it’s essential that you understand what the act covers, what’s exempt, and what applies to any devices and software that you are selling into the EU.

Bluefruit's essential guide to the act explains what the act is, why it exists, what it means for your AI systems, how it operates alongside existing standards (such as IEC 62304, DO-178C, and IEC 61508), the risks of non-compliance, and what you need to do to prepare for that looming deadline.

Bluefruit is heading back to Boston in June, and we’re really excited to be co-hosting a community drinks meetup with our friends at Prodct Studio the evening before the International MedTech Safety Conference (IMSC26) kicks off.

Bluefruit and Prodct share a commitment to building thoughtful, high-quality tech products with meaning and purpose. We think some of the best outcomes come when smart people get together at a place with great food and drink on the fringes of a big conference. So we’re looking forward to bringing the community together to share ideas, make new connections, and celebrate the work happening across healthcare innovation.

If you’re heading to the conference (or even if you’re not), we’d love you to join us at the Mighty Squirrel Taproom and Kitchen in Watertown on Monday, June 1 2026, at 6 - 9 PM. Get all the details and let us know you’re coming along: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vr1c90
