Best Practices for Implementing Automotive Cybersecurity Management Systems based on ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155

This on-demand webinar recording provides automotive industry professionals with comprehensive guidance on implementing effective Cybersecurity Management Systems (CSMS) that meet the requirements of both ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE Regulation 155 (R155). As regulatory compliance becomes mandatory across global markets, organizations must adopt integrated approaches that address technical standards while fulfilling regulatory obligations.

Our expert speakers explore the intersection between ISO/SAE 21434’s technical framework and R155’s regulatory requirements, demonstrating how these complementary standards form a robust foundation for automotive cybersecurity. Viewers will gain practical insights into establishing governance structures, developing processes, and implementing technical controls that satisfy both frameworks while strengthening their organization’s security posture.

The recording also addresses common challenges in harmonizing compliance efforts, including documentation requirements, audit preparation, and certification processes. Through real-world implementation examples, viewers will learn efficient strategies for conducting cybersecurity audits and assessments, managing vulnerabilities across vehicle types, and creating evidence packages for regulatory approval.

This session is ideal for automotive cybersecurity teams, compliance managers, product security officers, and engineering leaders responsible for vehicle cybersecurity. It delivers actionable guidance for building a cohesive CSMS program that not only meets regulatory requirements but also protects vehicles and occupants from evolving cyber threats.

Key Topics:

• Mapping the relationship between ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155 requirements
• Establishing unified governance and organizational structures for CSMS
• Strategies for vehicle type cybersecurity assessments and risk management
• Documentation and evidence collection for regulatory approval
