The shift toward vehicle connectivity and automated vehicles, coupled with increasing numbers of complex automotive components, has heightened the risk of cyberattacks.
ISO/SAE 21434 is the world’s first international standard for cybersecurity in the automotive industry. It aims to reduce the risk of cyberattacks by embedding cybersecurity into automotive products throughout their lifetimes.
The standard specifies engineering requirements for cybersecurity risk management. These requirements cover the concept, product development, production, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of series production electrical and electronic (E/E) systems in road vehicles, whose development or modification began after the standard was published in 2021. This includes their components and interfaces.
ISO/SAE 21434 provides guidance on developing a cybersecurity management system that includes processes for risk assessment, treatment, monitoring and review. Its framework includes requirements for cybersecurity processes and a common language for communicating and managing cybersecurity risks.
The standard does not prescribe specific cybersecurity technology or solutions.
ISO/SAE 21434 certification follows successful completion of an audit and enables you to:
Certification can also help you to comply with other relevant standards and regulations, such as UNECE Regulation No. 155 (cybersecurity and cybersecurity management system) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
ISO/SAE 21434 contributes to UN SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.
