ISO/SAE 21434 poses new challenges for many companies in the automotive supply chain. Among other things, the standard requires the implementation of a cybersecurity management system (CSMS) as well as a cybersecurity life cycle in the internal development process.
ISO/SAE 21434 is a companion to the functional safety standard ISO 26262 and there are numerous interfaces between the two. In particular, ISO 26262 describes the safety life cycle. If both the cybersecurity life cycle and the safety life cycle are to be reflected in the internal development processes it is important to eliminate inconsistencies and use synergies sensibly.
Beyond ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434 also deals with project-independent continuous activities during the development period and beyond. This post-development phase is more important than one might think.
These additional considerations have extended key milestones in the development process, but they are necessary if the new standard is to be met. Our experts can help you at every stage.
We offer a range of consulting services to help you meet the requirements of ISO/SAE 21434 on the process side. Of course, we can also support you during product development to prepare your processes, and the products developed under them, for the necessary audits or assessments.
The following services can be provided on-site or virtually:

Properly embedding cybersecurity requires a corresponding level of testing. We offer a range of cybersecurity tests and assessments which are performed by colleagues who specialize in this area.
