Securing the Connected Automotive Supply Chain.

Modern automotive risk spans the vehicle telemetry, the factory floor, and the global supply chain. We harden Tier 1/2 supplier networks and EV infrastructure to meet strict OEM security mandates.

Automotive Cyber Risk Spans the Entire Value Chain.

A breach at a Tier 2 supplier can compromise an OEM's production line, a recall campaign can expose vehicle telematics data, and an API attack can remotely control a connected fleet.

Telematics & OTA Servers

Remote firmware update systems control software deployed across entire vehicle fleets. A compromised OTA infrastructure can push malicious updates to millions of vehicles simultaneously — making it the highest-consequence attack vector in the automotive sector.

Automotive APIs

Integrations connecting mobile vehicle apps, dealership systems, and vehicle tracking databases have been exploited to remotely unlock, start, and track vehicles at scale. API security gaps in connected vehicle backends expose both consumer privacy and physical safety.

EV Charging Grids

Charging network controllers and payment systems are exposed to public access without enterprise-grade hardening. These systems connect payment processing, grid management interfaces, and vehicle authentication — creating a convergence point that threat actors are actively targeting.

TISAX, ISO/SAE 21434, UN R155/156 - We Deliver All Three.

Automotive cybersecurity compliance is now an OEM contract requirement for most Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. We build the program, gather the evidence, and support the assessment process.

TISAX (VDA ISA) Compliance for sharing design data and prototypes with German and European OEMs — we build the ISMS, prepare evidence for the VDA ISA assessment, and support the TISAX label issuance process.
ISO/SAE 21434 Automotive engineering cybersecurity lifecycle standard — TARA methodology, cybersecurity development processes, and supply chain cybersecurity requirements. Our vCISO team has deep 21434 implementation experience.
UN R155 & R156 Global regulations requiring a Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) and Software Update Management System (SUMS) for vehicle type approval — now mandatory for new vehicle certifications across most global markets.

From Supplier Assessment to OEM Audit. We Own the Program.

Our automotive engagements address both enterprise IT security and the connected vehicle/OT security requirements that OEM supplier contracts now mandate.

01 - Detection & Response

24/7 MDR for Automotive

Continuous monitoring of enterprise IT, OT/production floor systems, and connected vehicle backend APIs. Behavioral analytics for engineering workstations, telematics platform anomaly detection, and supply chain connection monitoring. Threat intelligence enriched with automotive sector IOCs from ISAC and vendor feeds.

02 - Security Program Ownership

vCISO & TISAX/21434 Program

Fractional CISO who builds and owns your automotive cybersecurity program - TISAX-aligned ISMS documentation, ISO/SAE 21434 TARA support, VDA ISA self-assessment preparation, and OEM audit coordination. We own the program and represent you in supplier assessments.

03 - Proactive Assessment

Penetration Testing & API Security Assessment

Enterprise network pen testing, telematics API security assessment, and production OT network segmentation validation. TISAX-required vulnerability assessment documentation. Connected vehicle backend API testing aligned to OWASP Automotive Top 10. Full evidence package for OEM and assessor submission.

04 - Human Risk Reduction

Automotive Workforce Security Awareness

Phishing simulation and training designed for automotive environments - scenarios targeting engineering staff with CAD/PDM access, supply chain procurement staff managing supplier connections, and executive leadership subject to spear phishing aimed at M&A and platform strategy data.

Meet OEM Requirements. Protect Your Contracts. Secure Your Supply Chain.

We'll assess your current TISAX and ISO/SAE 21434 readiness, identify the gaps your OEM auditor will flag, and show you the fastest path to certification. No obligation.
