Cyber security in the automotive industry
The automotive industry is facing increasingly complex challenges due to advancing digitalization, the use of networked vehicle technologies and data security requirements. Regulatory requirements such as TISAX, the NIS2 directive and the increasing demands of the supply chain are making cyber security a key success factor.
Three typical challenges in the automotive industry are
Ensuring data security in the supply chain
Automotive manufacturers and suppliers are heavily dependent on each other. Sensitive information, such as development data or production plans, must be securely exchanged within the supply chain in order to avoid data leaks or cyberattacks.
Compliance with TISAX requirements
The standard for information security in the automotive industry is TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) This is essential to ensure the secure handling of sensitive data along the value chain. However, many companies face challenges when it comes to implementation and certification.
Protection of networked production and vehicle technologies
Increasing connectivity in vehicles (e.g. IoT, autonomous driving) and in production systems (e.g. Industry 4.0) increases the attack surface for cyber threats. Security gaps in these areas can lead to production downtime or even security risks for end customers.
Our solutions for the automotive industry
As your 2nd Line of Defense we help companies in the automotive industry to implement cyber security strategically and effectively. Our industry-specific solutions cover all key security requirements:
ISMS complete service
We take over the development and support of an information security management system (ISMS) that is specially tailored to the requirements of the automotive industry and TISAX. Our approach enables smooth integration into your existing processes - from risk analysis to certification.
Business Continuity Management (BCM)
To avoid production downtime, we develop customized business continuity plans that protect your networked production systems and critical processes even in the event of cyber attacks.
Cyber risk management
We use a structured risk management approach to identify and assess potential threats. Our approach enables you to close security gaps at an early stage and make informed decisions.
Support and preparation for TISAX audits
We help you to meet the TISAX requirements and guide you through the entire audit process. Our expertise ensures that you not only receive certification, but also establish sustainable security structures.
Vulnerability Management (Attack Surface Management)
We analyze and reduce your attack surface, both in the IT and OT infrastructure. This is how we protect your systems, production facilities and vehicle technologies from potential cyber threats.

Entry-level cyber security package
Your start to protection against cyber threats
Our introductory package provides you with a structured overview of your IT security situation. We identify risks, point out weak points and give you specific recommendations for action - comprehensible, pragmatic and according to proven standards.
1st BSI Cyber Risk Check
With an audit in accordance with DIN SPEC 27076, we systematically check your cyber security - in just approx. 2 hours with 27 questions.
2. analysis of your attack surface
We record all externally accessible attack surfaces such as public IPs and domains. By changing perspectives, we view your systems like potential hackers in order to identify security gaps at an early stage.
3. analyze weak points
An automated scan checks identified or named IP addresses for technical vulnerabilities. Any risks found are prioritized and evaluated in order to derive targeted protective measures.
4. report & measures
You receive a DIN-SPEC-27076-compliant report with clear IT risks and specific recommendations for action.
5. check improvements
A final check ensures the long-term security of your IT environment.
