Why You Need This
Cybersecurity Assessment
- Why Do You Need It?
Do you need evidence of UNECE WP.29 R155/R156 compliance?
From July 2024, cybersecurity certification is mandatory for all new type-approved vehicles. OEMs are also requiring Tier1 suppliers to demonstrate cybersecurity capabilities.
Do you need to confirm whether your self-built CSMS meets requirements?
Internal reviews alone make it difficult to discover omitted or inadequate areas. Objective evaluation by external experts with assessment experience is needed.
Have you received a request from an OEM to submit a cybersecurity assessment report?
Global OEMs evaluate supplier cybersecurity capabilities during selection. Assessment reports from certified bodies objectively demonstrate your capabilities.

Expected Benefits
Practical Benefits
- Objective Status Understanding
- Accurately understand current level through objective evaluation by external experts, not internal perspective. Assessment is the process of honestly showing "where we are."
- Early Identification of Inadequate Areas
- Pre-assessment discovers inadequate areas in advance. Finding issues early is far better than discovering them during certification assessment.
- Practical Improvement Direction
- Not just pointing out issues, but explaining "why it's inadequate" and "how it can be improved." Assessment results become input for improvement activities.
- Security Awareness Improvement
- Through the assessment process, responsible personnel's cybersecurity understanding improves. Understanding "why we need to do it this way" leads to natural application in the next project.
- Sustainable Security System
- Along with passing the assessment, the organization also builds the foundation to manage and improve cybersecurity independently.
