Learn how to develop a cybersecurity plan as required by ISO/SAE 21434

Cybersecurity planning is crucial to achieve cybersecure products and, as already mentioned, to comply with ISO/SAE 21434. Undoubtedly, the cybersecurity plan is an essential document during cybersecurity planning and can’t be neglected as it defines important aspects necessary for projects and all involved stakeholders. Especially, when cybersecurity activities can be distributed and clients as well as suppliers need to define a plan for their respective activities.

Therefore, in this “Cybersecurity Plan” video course, we will explain what a cybersecurity plan is and how to correctly create it and develop it.

First, we will introduce the concept of cybersecurity planning, cybersecurity relevance for items and components. What’s more, you will get a clear overview of the cybersecurity plan requirements according to ISO/SAE 21434.

Secondly, we will explain how to develop a cybersecurity plan step by step during the concept and development phases as well as when it should be updated. Once there is a common understanding on how to create a cybersecurity plan, we will provide a sample cybersecurity plan to give you a reliable point of reference based on best practices and explain each content section.

At last, we will also present the costly consequences of neglecting a cybersecurity plan to reinforce the importance and impact it has across organizations’ projects and roles.

Get started with creating the document: A detailed guide to the Cybersecurity Plan (incl. background information and a checklist) can be found in the new ISO/SAE 21434:2021 Workbook

At the end of 2023, we have published the ISO/SAE 21434:2021 Workbook. This new publication is designed to simplify practical work with the most important automotive cybersecurity standard, the ISO/SAE 21434. The workbook includes:

  • all WPs (and corresponding RQs,RCs and PMs) of ISO/SAE 21434:2021 (“First Edition”) – officially licensed by ISO.
  • Field-tested templates (in a formulated explanatory way) for six key work products: Cybersecurity Plan, Cybersecurity Case, Cybersecurity Interface Agreement, Item Definition, Cybersecurity Concept, and Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment.
  • A cybersecurity controls catalogue, expert interviews, background information, explanations with a practical perspective across the automotive value chain.
