Certification
ISO 21434 is an essential framework for ensuring that connected vehicles are secure, reliable, and protected against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
What is ISO/SAE 21434?
With the rapid evolution of automotive technology, industry has recognized the need for standardized cybersecurity regulations. In response, ISO/SAE 21434 was released in August 2021 establishing a dedicated framework for managing cyber risks in road vehicles.
This standard aligns with existing automotive regulations, particularly with ISO 26262 – Functional safety in road vehicles and UNECE WP.29 R155 .
ISO 21434 intends cybersecurity to be integrated from the initial design phase through the entire automotive product lifecycle, rather than as an afterthought. This impacts coding practices, software security measures, and risk mitigation strategies.
Though ISO 21434 does not prescribe specific technical security measures, it provides a comprehensive strategy for overall resilience and establishes requirements for cyber risk management since the standard
- applies to electrical and electronic (E/E) systems in mass-produced road vehicles, including software, components, and interfaces.
- Covers the entire product lifecycle, from concept to decommissioning including the aspects of OEMs, ensuring the suppliers and stakeholders’ compliance with global automotive cybersecurity regulations and standards.
- Defines a common language for cybersecurity risk management across the automotive supply chain
