Automotive ISO/SAE 21434 and related UNECE R155 and UNECE R156
ISO/SAE 21434 defines how to engineer cybersecurity into road vehicles across the full lifecycle (concept, development, production, operation), with typical use cases like performing TARA, defining security requirements, and managing risks in ECUs and connected systems.
UNECE R155 requires OEMs to implement a Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) to identify, assess, and mitigate cyber risks in order to obtain vehicle type approval—used when bringing connected vehicles to market.
UNECE R156 focuses on secure and controlled software updates, requiring a Software Update Management System (SUMS) to ensure safe OTA updates without introducing new risks.
Together, they are used by automotive companies to design secure vehicles, pass regulatory approval, and maintain cybersecurity throughout the vehicle’s operational life (e.g., secure OTA updates and incident response).
