ISO 21434:
Automotive Cyber Security Engineering
The ISO has released a draft version of an automotive cyber security engineering standard (ISO DIS 21434) and has announced to release a new standard for automotive software upload (ISO DIS 24089) to provide common understanding and aspects of automotive cyber security in terms of Processes, Requirements and Guidelines.
Those affected by the ISO 21434 standard are:
- Vehicle manufacturers
- Suppliers of software-based components/systems
- Engineering service providers
- Software- and ICT-infrastructure service providers
For software upload, compliance to ISO 21434 is a main requirement along the complete vehicle development and lifecycle supply chain.
Our experts help you to organize your processes and products to be compliant to the ISO 21434 Standard.
UN Regulation on Cyber Security (R155) and Software Update (R156)
The UNECE world harmonization forum for vehicle regulations (WP.29) has released two new regulations concerning automotive cyber security (R155) and software updates (R156).
Our experts help you to manage cyber security risks over the complete lifecycle of the vehicle.
A vehicle manufacturer must identify and manage cyber security risks concerning vehicles and their connectivity:
- Continuous monitoring of threats, vulnerabilities and successful or attempted attacks
- Cyber security risk assessments and corresponding mitigations e.g. by software update
- During complete lifetime of the vehicle from design to decommissioning
Our experts help you to install and maintain a Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) – or certify your services as well as products and components.
Vehicle type approval must check the fulfilment of the following requirements:
- Certified CSMS at the vehicle manufacturer
- Cyber security risk assessment analysis of the vehicle
- Implementation of
- Effective risk mitigations
- Measures to detect and prevent cyber-attacks
- Measures to support data forensics
- Type specific monitoring activities
Get your report of all monitored activities checked by our independent experts.
The vehicle manufacturer must demonstrate process capabilities for:
- Recording the hardware and software versions relevant to a vehicle type
- Identifying software relevant for type approval including interdependencies for updates
- Assessing if a software update affects type approval and safety
- Informing vehicle owners of updates
- Documentation of all the above
Our experts help you to install and maintain a Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) – or certify your services as well as products and components.
Vehicle type approval must check the fulfilment of the following requirements:
- Certified SUMS at the vehicle manufacturer
- Protected SU ensuring integrity and authenticity
- Protected Software identification numbers – readable from the vehicle
- For OTA (Over-The-Air): Restoring capability, sufficient power supply, safe execution, check successful SU
- Inform users about each update and about their completion or if a mechanic is needed.
