Launching our ENX Vehicle Cybersecurity (ENX VCS) Audits for Suppliers

We are now offering ENX VCS audits to ensure automotive supply chain cybersecurity.

The increasing digitization of vehicle systems requires enhanced cybersecurity to maintain product quality and customer trust.

UN Regulation No. 155 (UN R-155) requires vehicle manufacturers to manage dependencies of their vehicle cybersecurity management system (V-CSMS) with supplier-related risks for the security of vehicles or vehicle components. V-CSMS audits of suppliers can support vehicle manufacturers in managing such dependencies.

That is why ENX, which facilitates the leading automotive industry information security initiative – the Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX^®) – has launched a new comprehensive cybersecurity audit.

The ENX VCS is a standardized, global certification for addressing automotive supply chain cybersecurity challenges. The ENX VCS vehicle cybersecurity management system (V-CSMS) audit provides the automotive industry with a uniform road vehicle cybersecurity standard for suppliers.

The ENX VCS is the universal standard certification of an ISO/SAE 21434-compliant V-CSMS and fully implements ISO/PAS 5112’s recommendations.

What are the main advantages of the ENX VCS?

ENX VCS provides:

• A universal standard for third-party V-CSMS certification, avoiding the growing number of proprietary schemes
• Alignment with the proven ENX Automotive Compliance, Assurance and Risk Services (ACARS) framework used for TISAX
