Cybersecurity Interface Agreement as required ISO/SAE 21434 work product
Service interface agreements that are set up correctly have always played a crucial role in distributed development in the automotive industry. In accordance with the requirements of ISO/SAE 21434, cybersecurity responsibilities are clarified with the so-called Cybersecurity Interface Agreement (CIA). Learn about the structure and content of this document in this video course.
NEW: Discover a formulated template for a CIA in the new ISO/SAE 21434:2021 Workbook.
The Cybersecurity Interface Agreement in distributed development and compliance to ISO/SAE 21434
To establish a road of successful cooperation among automotive value chain players, suppliers and customers must agree on how development will be distributed regarding cybersecurity activities. This is where the Cybersecurity Interface Agreement comes into play and gains importance, besides being a required ISO/SAE 21434 work product. The aim is to avoid obstacles and clarify responsibilities, therefore, in this video course you will learn how to structure a Cybersecurity Interface Agreement.
First, we will begin by explaining the contents and purpose of the Cybersecurity Interface Agreement, when it should take place, and its role in distributed development.
Next, we will present how it might look like according to the ISO/SAE 21434 Annex C Cybersecurity Interface Agreement Template, structure, and content by each section.
At last, we will explain the similarities and differences between the ISO/SAE 21434 Cybersecurity Interface Agreement (CIA) and ISO 26262 Development Interface Agreement (DIA) side by side.
Discover a template for Cybersecurity Interface Agreement and more: with the new ISO/SAE 21434:2021 Workbook – officially licensed by ISO (Published end of 2023)
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:
