A look at the most important certification standards

  1. ENX VCS (ENX Vehicle Cyber Security Audit): ENX VCS is a standard for information security in the automotive industry developed by the ENX Association. It provides a collaborative approach to assessing and ensuring information security in the supply chain, with VCS focusing on vehicle cybersecurity.
  2. ISO 21434 (Road Vehicles – Cybersecurity Engineering): This standard specifies requirements and guidelines for cybersecurity in the automotive sector. It covers the entire life cycle of a vehicle – from development and production to disposal – and ensures that cybersecurity aspects are integrated into every phase.
  3. UN ECE R155/R156: These regulations of the UN Economic Commission for Europe require vehicles to have a cybersecurity management system (CSMS) that minimizes security risks and ensures continuous monitoring and improvement of security measures.
