One Partner for Automotive Cyber Compliance

UNECE R155 & R156, RED DA and CRA require more than type approval. CyberWhiz secures vehicles, mobile applications and cloud services from design and production to field operation.

Modern vehicles are complex cyber-physical systems composed of connected ECUs, wireless interfaces, mobile applications and cloud backends. Achieving compliance today requires not only meeting type approval requirements, but also ensuring continuous cybersecurity across all digital elements of the vehicle.

CyberWhiz enables automotive OEMs and suppliers to achieve holistic automotive cyber compliance with a single, integrated partner.

Automotive Cybersecurity Regulatory Landscape

UNECE R155 & R156 – The Baseline

UNECE R155 requires manufacturers to:

• Perform Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA)
• Establish and operate a Cyber Security Management System (CSMS)
• Identify, assess and mitigate cybersecurity risks throughout the vehicle lifecycle

UNECE R156 requires:

• A Software Update Management System (SUMS)
• Secure and auditable OTA update mechanisms
• Protection against unauthorized or compromised software updates

These regulations are mandatory for vehicle type approval and define the minimum cybersecurity baseline.

Beyond Type Approval: RED DA & Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)

Even if a vehicle is compliant with R155 and R156, it must also comply with RED DA and CRA when it includes:

• Wireless communication interfaces
• Software-defined functionality
• Cloud connectivity
• Companion mobile applications

RED DA and CRA extend cybersecurity obligations to:

• Embedded systems and ECUs
• Mobile applications
• Cloud services and backend platforms
• Continuous vulnerability management and incident handling

This makes end-to-end cybersecurity across edge, mobile and cloud mandatory, not optional.

How CyberWhiz Secures Automotive Ecosystems

CyberWhiz provides a fully integrated portfolio of products and services that covers all regulatory and technical requirements for automotive cybersecurity.

Embedded & Edge Security – CyberWhiz Embedded

With CyberWhiz Embedded, we secure vehicles from the inside.

We:

• Embed advanced security software directly into automotive ECUs
• Protect in-vehicle wired communication channels:

○ CAN Bus
○ UDS
○ J1939

• Secure gateways, domain controllers and central ECUs
• Develop central edge TCU software to:

○ Manage secure vehicle-to-cloud communication
○ Orchestrate OTA update workflows
○ Control trust relationships between vehicle, cloud and backend services

This ensures vehicles are secure by design, aligned with R155, RED DA and CRA requirements.

Mobile Application Security – CyberWhiz Mobile

Mobile applications are a critical attack surface in modern vehicles.

With CyberWhiz Mobile, we:

• Secure vehicle companion applications
• Protect authentication, authorization and data exchange
• Prevent unauthorized access to vehicle functions
• Ensure compliance with RED DA and CRA requirements for digital elements

This closes the gap between vehicle cybersecurity and user-facing digital services.

Continuous Monitoring & OTA Security – CyberWhiz Defence Center

Cybersecurity does not stop at production.

With CyberWhiz Defence Center, we enable:

• 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring of vehicles in the field
• Detection of anomalies, attacks and suspicious behavior
• Secure OTA infrastructure aligned with UNECE R156 SUMS requirements
• Centralized visibility across entire vehicle fleets

The Defence Center provides the operational foundation for continuous compliance and cyber resilience.

Red, Blue and Purple Team Services for Automotive

Offensive Security & Type Approval Evidence – Red Team

Regulatory compliance requires proven security testing.

Our Red Team services include:

• Embedded penetration testing for automotive ECUs
• Testing of all wired interfaces: CAN Bus, UDS, J1939
• Testing of all wireless communication channels: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Cellular, Vehicle-to-cloud interfaces

These tests produce auditable evidence required for UNECE R155, RED DA and CRA compliance and vehicle type approval.

Risk Assessment & Regulatory Documentation – Purple Team

Compliance is as much about documentation as it is about technology.

With our Purple Team, we:

• Perform comprehensive TARA analyses
• Manage RED DA and CRA risk assessments
• Prepare Essential Information (E.Info) documentation
• Align technical findings with regulatory expectations
• Bridge engineering, compliance and certification bodies

This ensures cybersecurity is technically robust and regulator-ready.

Secure Architecture & Infrastructure Design – Blue Team

Our Blue Team designs and implements the cybersecurity foundations required by UNECE R155 and R156.

We support:

• End-to-end CSMS and SUMS architecture design
• Secure End-of-Line (EoL) tools for safe software flashing during production
• OTA update platforms integrated with CyberWhiz Defence Center
• Secure central ECU and gateway software architectures
• Vehicle-to-cloud communication and OTA scenario management

This turns regulatory requirements into operational, scalable systems.
