Automotive cybersecurity expertise on demand: with our needs-based services

With the extensive range of training and enablement courses offered by the CYEQT Knowledge Base, we have been able to establish ourselves worldwide as a central point of contact for practice-oriented knowledge in the field of applied automotive cybersecurity in recent years.

Against this background, we not only bundle expertise, but also make it directly usable. With our range of needs-based consulting and engineering services relating to the Cybersecurity Management System (ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155), in operational support for cybersecurity engineering / TARA and with a view to the Software Update Management System and Software Update Engineering. Whether you prefer the transfer of knowledge to your organization and teams or want to ensure practice-proven support in the project – we provide you with the right mix of know-how and implementation expertise.

Our services in Cybersecurity Management - Organizational Level

From duty to performance organization: a holistic approach to cybersecurity management

Regulatory requirements such as UN Regulation No. 155 and the industry standard ISO/SAE 21434 demand clear structures, processes and responsibilities from OEMs and Tier N suppliers. A robust Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) is both an obligation and an opportunity: for approval, efficiency and trust. With our wide range of services, you can set up your CSMS in a standard-compliant, structured and future-proof manner - from audit to sustainable implementation.

Development of a holistic CSMS system, integration into process landscapes, fulfillment of regulatory requirements including incident response, approval readiness, field monitoring and audit preparation.

Definition of CSMS-compliant processes, integration into QMS, development of individual structures along the Tier N scope (software/system), orientation towards ASPICE and stakeholder integration in line with requirements.

Systematic process definition and process optimization, integration into existing processes, ensuring reusability, standard conformity, clear roles and documentation logic for sustainable effectiveness.

Creation, adaptation and integration of ISO/SAE 21434-compliant templates, checklists and guidelines; seamless integration into existing systems and tools, specifically for individual process environments.

Analysis of processes and structures, derivation of audit-critical points, preparation of documented evidence, development of practicable measures for effective preparation for ISO/UN-R155 audits.

Conducting neutral audits in line with ISO/SAE 21434 with a focus on practical implementation, assessability of work products, interpretation of requirements and documented compliance assessment.

Evaluation of existing structures, identification of gaps, derivation of development potential, practical recommendations for the establishment of resilient structures and orientation towards typical OEM requirements.

Detailed assessment of existing processes for completeness and conformity, review of open weaknesses, development of targeted measures for audit preparation and seamless compliance.

Operational and conceptual support to resolve audit findings, integration of cross-functional teams, documentation and implementation of sustainable, audit-proof solutions.

Conducting well-founded gap analyses, evaluating existing processes, developing feasible measures to achieve ASPICE-CS conformity, with a strong focus on OEM expectations and practical feasibility.

Training, coaching and technical support for the introduction and application of ASPICE for Cybersecurity - individually adaptable, comprehensibly prepared, with direct practical relevance and methodical guidelines.

Our services in cybersecurity engineering - project level

Cybersecurity engineering in vehicles: efficient implementation of cybersecurity in development projects

Cybersecurity is becoming a technical obligation in vehicle development projects - at the same time, there is a lack of resources, expertise and best practices across the industry. We close this gap: with tried-and-tested engineering services, scalable teams of experts and hands-on project support. From SW stack configuration to operational support with TARA and V&V consulting - we safeguard your development and free up space for your core business.

We take responsibility for the implementation of all cybersecurity measures - with templates, best practices, scalable teams and in-depth knowledge of standards compliance and process integration.

We provide support with specific expertise in day-to-day project work - flexibly, at short notice, exactly where you need external help, e.. with software/hardware cyber security in an ongoing development project.

We support your teams with on-the-job coaching to strengthen processes, measures and documentation during implementation - with the aim of achieving sustainable self-empowerment with minimal effort.

We develop viable V&V concepts for cyber security: including role clarification, test methods, input/output documentation - practically tailored to your processes, roles and ASPICE specifications.

Support with safety-critical software stack integration, configuration of safety-relevant modules, error analysis, validation and documentation - tailored to your platform architecture.

We provide experienced specialists as interim cybersecurity managers - to define, manage and implement all CSMS and ISO/SAE 21434-relevant topics in your organization and your projects.

Development of evaluation logic, questionnaires and criteria for the evaluation of tools, services and products - including integration of CS Interface Agreements with OEMs.

Establishment of transparent evaluation and control mechanisms for suppliers - from SLAs to compliance checks and monitoring - to effectively implement and control cybersecurity requirements.

Conducting neutral assessments to evaluate your processes, guidelines and measures - with industry-specific expertise and a clear focus on feasibility, relevance and compliance with standards.

Support with audit preparation: systematic preparation of all necessary documents, processes and roles - including practical coaching and risk assessment for upcoming assessments.

Our services for software update management systems and software update engineering

Systematic vehicle software updates: mastering software update management in line with standards

With UN Regulation No. 156 and ISO 24089, the compliant management of software updates is becoming a mandatory task in the automotive and vehicle industry. OEMs and Tier-X must align processes, roles and systems with regulatory requirements - without losing efficiency. We support you in setting up, optimizing and auditing your Software Update Management System (SUMS) - sound, practical and future-proof. This ensures compliance and gives you control over the entire update lifecycle.

We define, plan and implement a complete SUMS in line with UN R156 - including stakeholder coordination, responsibility matrix, process structure and audit-proof documentation.

We help Tier N suppliers to understand OEM requirements, establish processes, define communication channels and ensure SUMS compliance for products and services.

Analysis of existing processes, derivation of SUMS-compliant adaptations, definition of new processes and responsibilities - for seamless integration into existing process landscapes.

Provision and adaptation of audit-proof templates, checklists and guidelines for ISO 24089 work products - with a focus on integration into existing systems and efficient application.

Support with audit planning and documentation, implementation of preparatory assessments, stakeholder training and systematic preparation to achieve audit readiness.

Implementation of complete audits according to ISO 24089 for suppliers - including evaluation of existing processes, documentation, analysis of weak points and recommendations for optimization.

Determination of the current status, analysis of existing processes, identification of deficits, derivation of practice-oriented recommendations for the implementation of and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Checking the implementation status against UN R156 and ISO 24089, identifying any remaining gaps, detailing measures for full SUMS compliance including documentation comparison.

We provide support in the analysis and structured resolution of existing audit findings - with a clear focus on pragmatic solutions, documented implementation and sustainable process assurance.
