Automotive

The modern vehicle is a software platform on wheels, and the industry now carries safety, cybersecurity and quality obligations that reach deep into every tier of the supply chain. Fidova works across this as a connected advisory: we help build and integrate the systems that run engineering and production, secure the software and data that move between OEMs and suppliers, and govern the controls that regulators and auditors expect. Our security-first roots make vehicle and supplier cyber exposure a first-order concern.

One connected advisory, applied to the realities of automotive.

What's at stake

The pressures shaping this sector.

Regulated vehicle cybersecurity

UNECE R155 and R156 and ISO/SAE 21434 require managed cybersecurity and software-update processes across the vehicle lifecycle, a step change for teams used to purely functional engineering.

Supplier trust and TISAX

OEMs increasingly require suppliers to demonstrate information-security maturity through TISAX before sharing sensitive engineering and prototype data.

Software-defined complexity

As features shift into software and over-the-air updates, the boundary between safety, security and quality blurs and must be managed as one discipline.

Connected supply chains

Just-in-time production depends on tightly integrated ERP and logistics across many tiers, where a single data or system failure halts the line.

How Fidova helps

The disciplines that matter most here.

CybersecurityWe design security programmes and run application and cloud testing aligned to vehicle and supplier cyber expectations, including ISO/SAE 21434 and TISAX readiness.SAPWe implement and integrate SAP across engineering, production and procurement so just-in-time supply chains stay reconciled, with SAP security and GRC designed in.ERPWe help select and implement ERP that links manufacturing, inventory and supplier data across tiers into a dependable operational backbone.Governance, Risk & ComplianceWe bring safety, quality and cyber controls into one owned framework with continuous evidence, mapped across IATF 16949, ISO/SAE 21434 and ISO 27001.DevelopmentWe provide architecture and delivery oversight for connected and software-defined platforms, with security engineered up front rather than bolted on.

Regulation & frameworks

The obligations we design around.

We build controls, evidence and reporting to hold up against the frameworks this sector answers to — across the jurisdictions you operate in.
