Digital Resilience Vehicle Assessment and Benchmarking

Helping our clients to understand and resolve potential vulnerabilities in their products ensuring the physical safety of end users and their data protection and making vehicles fit for the challenges of connected and autonomous mobility

• Independent assessment which draws on the recommendations of the 5StarS vehicle assurance framework and the unique methodology developed by the Digital Resilience partnership
• Identifies potential vulnerabilities which may be exploited by a threat agent, now and in the future, and provides an indication of the implications for driver safety and personal data protection
• Indicates how vulnerabilities can be addressed with immediate and cost-effective remedial action
• Provides recommendations of how vulnerabilities can be addressed through improved design practices
• Gives valuable early insight to OEMs of how secure their product is and how it compares within the market against a stable benchmark test criteria
• Gives an early indication of where the vehicle might sit in future insurance-led assessment criteria

Legislation is on the way

International regulations and legislation for vehicle cybersecurity are currently under development by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). This is expected to include:

• the mandatory audit of a vehicle manufacturer’s cybersecurity management system
• verification that a new vehicle has been appropriately engineered with relevant risks identified, analysed and mitigated

In future, these are likely to be required before a vehicle manufacturer is able to gain type approval for a new vehicle.

An OEM now needs to be able to demonstrate that it has considered the risks of, and taken measures to prevent, accidents or theft of personal data in the event of a cybersecurity breach. This is a board level responsibly.
