Prepare your processes and products to meet the requirements of the new standard for automotive cybersecurity, ISO/SAE 21434 with expertise from SGS.
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.
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.
