For global manufacturers entering the European market
Cybersecurity for the vehicles, teams and partners behind your growth in Europe, with a focus on automated driving and Level 4, connected vehicles and charging products.
01Partnering for European readiness
Three steps, in this order. You decide how far we go together.
A joint review of your architecture and of the regulations that apply in Europe and Germany.
Your path to qualification by European OEMs.
Together, we adapt your projects and products for Europe.
02Automated and autonomous driving
A specialised German team with OEM-side experience. Talk to us about a project or simply a question.
Autonomous driving · since 2024
ISO/SAE 21434 assessments of an autonomous-driving software platform for a global technology company.
Automated driving · since 2022
Security engineering for automated driving functions of a European OEM, from risk analysis to test specification.
OEM and tier 1
Cybersecurity interface agreements with global tier-1 suppliers, including the supplier of an automated-driving compute platform, and onboarding of their teams into the OEM’s security process.
Qualification
Qualification programme for one of Germany’s largest automotive engineering service providers, plus workshops for a European OEM’s security engineers.
Automotive team
Management with more than 25 years in automotive software projects for German OEMs.
Client names are confidential. References can be discussed in person.
Together, we get ready for what German and European OEMs, fleet customers and assessors ask, and help initiate the right conversations.

Multi-year collaboration for your European and German roll-out, with one point of contact.
06Case studies
Anonymised, but concrete.
Automotive · Autonomous drivingISO/SAE 21434 assessments
A global technology company develops a vehicle operating system and software stack for autonomous driving, with many teams and its own development process under ISO/SAE 21434.
Result
Commissioned continuously since 2024: independent assessments that give the teams early feedback, milestone by milestone.
Automotive · European OEMSupplier integration
A European OEM sources systems from global tier-1 suppliers, including an automated-driving compute platform. Responsibilities for cybersecurity are agreed per component, before development starts rather than at release.
Result
Agreed responsibilities on both sides and supplier teams that work within the OEM’s security process.
Automotive · European OEMSecurity engineering
New driving functions, a defined OEM process under ISO/SAE 21434 and many suppliers working in parallel.
Result
Consistent, auditable security work products and far fewer questions at release.
07Beyond the vehicle
The same method works for other connected products entering the European market.
EU Machinery Regulation, CRA, IEC 62443
RED and EN 18031, CRA
CRA, RED and the interfaces to the vehicle
