Modern vehicles are complex, connected systems with an ever-expanding attack surface. In this environment, documentation alone is no longer sufficient — to meet regulatory requirements, cybersecurity must be demonstrated in practice.

Testing is carried out under witnessed conditions, with each step documented and reproducible. These tests play a critical role in vehicle type approval under UNECE R155 and have effectively become the vehicle’s digital crash test.

We have extensive experience in penetration testing of vehicles and automotive components, including expert advisory services and the execution of witnessed tests for vehicle type approval.

New international regulations are raising the bar for cybersecurity in the automotive industry, with significant risk for manufacturers that fail to act early.

A systematic, structured approach to cybersecurity is increasingly critical for faster approvals, a secure market launch, and maintaining competitiveness.

In this article, we describe how these requirements impact vehicle development in practice, what is needed to demonstrate compliance during type approval, and why many manufacturers must move away from ad-hoc measures toward a traceable, lifecycle-wide cybersecurity process.
