Why CyberWhiz for EV Charger Cyber Compliance

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) defines EV-Chargers as "products with digital elements".
This means compliance is not limited to the charging hardware, but instead embedded controllers, mobile applications, cloud backends and software components are all fully in regulatory scope.

From secure design and certification to post-market monitoring, vulnerability handling and SBOM management, CyberWhiz is the one partner that enables end-to-end cyber compliance for EV-charging infrastructure.

We support EV charger manufacturers and operators in meeting CRA, RED DA and EV-specific cybersecurity requirements across the entire product lifecycle.

Cyber Compliance Landscape for EV Chargers

EV chargers operate at the intersection of automotive, energy and IoT ecosystems, making cybersecurity compliance both complex and critical.

Relevant regulations and standards include:

• Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
• Radio Equipment Directive – Delegated Act (RED DA)
• EN 18031 – Harmonised cybersecurity standard under RED DA
• ISO 15118 – Secure vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communication
• IEC 61851 – EV charging system requirements
• ETSI EN 303 645 – Consumer IoT cybersecurity (for residential chargers)

CyberWhiz has worked hands-on with multiple EV charger ecosystems, gaining deep insight into real-world charger architectures, protocols and deployment models.

End-to-End IoT Security for EV Charging Ecosystems

Embedded Device & Protocol Security – CyberWhiz Embedded

With CyberWhiz Embedded, we embed cybersecurity directly into EV chargers:

• Secure boot and secure firmware updates
• Device identity, certificate and key management
• Hardened implementations of:

○ ISO 15118
○ IEC 61851
○ OCPP communication stacks

• Secure charger-to-vehicle and charger-to-backend communication

Our experience with real EV charger platforms allows us to design practical, deployable and certifiable security architectures, not just theoretical ones.

Mobile Application Security & SBOM Management – CyberWhiz Mobile

EV charging ecosystems rely heavily on mobile applications for authentication, charging control and billing.

With CyberWhiz Mobile, we:

• Secure EV charging mobile applications
• Protect user identity, payment and charging data
• Prevent unauthorized charger control and session hijacking
• Align mobile applications with CRA digital element requirements

SBOM Management for Mobile Applications

From September 2026, CRA Annex I – Part 2 mandates:

• Accurate Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs)
• Traceability of open-source and third-party components
• Continuous vulnerability assessment

CyberWhiz Mobile enables:

• Automatic generation and lifecycle management of mobile SBOMs
• Continuous vulnerability monitoring
• Full traceability between vulnerabilities and deployed applications

Continuous Monitoring, Incident Response & SBOM Management

CyberWhiz Defence Center

CRA requires EV charger manufacturers to continuously monitor deployed products and respond to cybersecurity risks throughout their lifetime.

With CyberWhiz Defence Center, we provide:

• 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring of deployed EV chargers
• Detection of vulnerabilities, anomalies and cyber threats
• Centralized incident and vulnerability management
• Runtime visibility across: Chargers, Mobile applications, Cloud backends

Unified SBOM Management for the EV Charging Ecosystem

From September 2026, CRA Annex I – Part 2 mandates centralized SBOM management.

CyberWhiz Defence Center enables:

• Unified SBOM management for: Charger firmware, Mobile applications, Backend and cloud services
• Continuous CVE correlation and impact analysis
• Audit-ready documentation for regulators and market surveillance authorities

Red, Blue and Purple Team Services for EV Chargers

Red Team – Penetration Testing & Security Validation

CyberWhiz has performed penetration testing on multiple EV charger ecosystems, covering different charger models, architectures and deployment scenarios.

Our Red Team testing includes:

• Charger hardware and firmware
• Communication protocols (ISO 15118, OCPP, IEC 61851)
• Wired and wireless interfaces
• Mobile and backend attack surfaces

This extensive hands-on testing experience gives us a deep understanding of real-world EV charger attack vectors, enabling more accurate risk assessment and meaningful remediation.

Blue Team – Secure Architecture & Infrastructure Design

CyberWhiz has delivered end-to-end cybersecurity architecture designs for EV charger manufacturers, covering the full ecosystem.

Our Blue Team designs include:

• Secure charger hardware and firmware architectures
• Secure manufacturing and provisioning processes
• OTA update infrastructures aligned with CRA and RED DA
• Secure charger-to-cloud and charger-to-vehicle communication models

Thanks to our domain expertise, we can design regulation-compliant architectures aligned with cybersecurity best practices efficiently and realistically.

Purple Team – Regulatory Compliance & Documentation

CyberWhiz has supported multiple EV charger models in achieving RED DA compliance based on EN 18031, enabling manufacturers to obtain CE marking for the EU market.

Our Purple Team manages:

• CRA and RED DA risk assessments
• EN 18031 compliance documentation
• Technical files and evidence required for CE certification
• Alignment between technical security controls and regulatory requirements
