This three-year project, called RAW Secure Phone, aimed to address security vulnerabilities that impact typical smartphone usage by improving security measures without sacrificing the functionality expected of modern smartphones. ![RAW Cyber web dashboard on a laptop against an orange background](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/left_column_6_3hlJ1pu.format-webp.width-2880.webp) ![RAW Cyber web panel with a list of applications on a tablet](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/RAW_Ciber-Image_4_SX4yqwc.format-webp.width-2880.webp) ## Challenges The collaboration faced several significant challenges. Because smartphones are central to both personal and professional life, they are highly susceptible to data leaks and malicious attacks. This required building a hardened operating system on an Android base. Another major challenge was implementing cutting-edge security technologies that had not yet been standardized on the market. ## Solutions We responded to these challenges by developing a custom Android-based operating system enhanced with CopperheadOS to provide the highest level of security. We implemented advanced [packet inspection](https://ordergroup.co/glossary/deep-packet-inspection/) to monitor network traffic closely and proactively detect and block malware attacks. We also created an app store where users can securely download pre-approved apps, which minimizes the risk of security vulnerabilities. ## Details Order Group developed the RAW Secure Phone's secure operating system, advanced packet inspection, and secure app store. The project involved a team of engineers, a technical lead, a tester, a project manager, and a UX/UI designer, working over 3 years with technologies like C/C++, Nginx/Gunicorn, CopperheadOS, and Biocoded, and managed with Scrum. ![Earth at night seen from space with city lights](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/RAW_Ciber-Image_6_1lw0gj6.format-webp.width-2880.webp) ## Insights The project showed how much cybersecurity work depends on research and development. Scrum proved essential for managing a project this complex: it helped Order Group deal with unforeseen challenges and kept the collaboration transparent. ## Results The finished RAW Secure Phone combines a hardened, Android-based operating system, packet inspection that detects and blocks malware, and an app store limited to pre-approved apps. 3 Years of continuous work on RAW Secure Phone: a hardened Android-based OS, packet inspection and a vetted app store. ## Related articles [Product & discovery March 22, 2022 4 min read Why Is Flexibility Such a Valuable Trait in Software Development?](https://ordergroup.co/blog/flexibility-software-development/) [Energy Updated February 22, 2023 4 min read Why Does Cybersecurity in the Energy Sector Matter?](https://ordergroup.co/blog/energy-sector-cybersecurity/) [Industrial IoT Updated October 10, 2026 9 min read Industrial IoT Examples: 5 Projects From Airports to Energy Storage](https://ordergroup.co/blog/industrial-iot-examples/) ![Decorative yellow and black checkered stripe divider](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/pattern_devider_2_5gxz2Lo.format-webp.width-2880.webp) ## Discover what your product really needs Your message goes to ![Filip Szamborski](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/Filip_dTWHyBo.2e16d0ba.fill-432x432.format-webp.webp) Filip Szamborski Co-founder & CEO [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/filip-szamborski/) so far we've worked with brands like: - [![RAW Cyber](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/raw-cyber-mono_M2DWvZf_pHEQtjP.max-208x64.format-webp.webp)](https://ordergroup.co/case-studies/raw-cyber-custom-android-os/) - [![Kyoto Group](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/kyoto-group-mono_hlqECHG.max-208x64.format-webp.webp)](https://ordergroup.co/case-studies/kyoto-digital-twin-software/) - [![AP-Tech](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/ap-tech-mono_ihuJP5T_6b2rSSb.max-208x64.format-webp.webp)](https://ordergroup.co/case-studies/monster-airport-lighting-system/) - [![Zeronest](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/zeronest-mono_BqSPQJQ_2nGxsSc.max-208x64.format-webp.webp)](https://ordergroup.co/case-studies/zeronest-solar-panel-monitoring-app/) - [![Skyfri](https://ordergroup.co/media/images/skyfri-mono_KGicBgp.max-208x64.format-webp.webp)](https://ordergroup.co/case-studies/skyfri-solar-asset-management-platform/) Thank you for your message.
