Why Automotive Cybersecurity?

The increasing interaction of systems within modern vehicles and the connection of vehicles with infrastructure and network applications enable opportunities for innovative functions and commercial models.

Simultaneously, interconnection of system functions result in additional risks, evoked through a compromised cybersecurity. The unauthorized manipulation of vehicle systems can have an impact to operational, financial, safety or privacy damages.

The department Automotive Electronics actively participates the development of standards and regulations with regard to automotive cybersecurity since the early beginning. As a competent and reliable partner for Automotive Cybersecurity we offer tailor-made services for the automotive industry:

  • Homologation services according to UN Regulation No. 155 as designated Technical Service
    • Auditing the manufacturers Cybersecurity Management System
    • Vehicle and System Type Approval Testing
  • Independent assessment according to ISO/SAE 21434 and ISO PAS 5112
    • Process assessment for the cybersecurity engineering framework
    • Product assessment for development in accordance with the standard
    • Process and product certification
  • Guidance and Qualification
    • Customer specific support for cybersecurity engineering and testing
    • Proof of competence with the TÜV NORD qualification programme "Automotive Cybersecurity Engineer" and individual training workshops

What is the UN Regulation No. 155 about?

The UN Regulation No. 155 for cyber security and cyber security management system defines requirements to the processes and their application within the development of vehicle types.

The new regulation will become mandatory as part of the European type approval for vehicle types. According to the new General Safety Regulation, it will be binding as part of the European type approval for new vehicle types from July, 6th 2022 and for the registration of new vehicles (with existing vehicle type approval) from July, 7th 2024.

Conformity Assessments for ISO 21434

With the development of the ISO/SAE 21434, a new international industry standard will be established for automotive cybersecurity engineering. The standard offers a tailor-made guideline for the automotive industry. It defines requirements to implement a risk-based approach for the identification and treatment of potential cybersecurity risks within the development, production and operation of vehicles and its E/E systems.

In addition, ISO PAS 5112 will define harmonized guidelines for cybersecurity engineering auditing.

With an independent assessment of TÜV NORD Mobilität, manufacturers and suppliers receive evidence for conformity of processes and products with the requirements of the ISO/SAE 21434.

Based on the assessment, TÜV NORD can issue a certification for the evaluated processes and products.

When working with us, you benefit from our proven approach to testing, transparency and the independent process and product assessments we offer. Our competence is MADE IN GERMANY and we stand for it with our name.
