Milestone in Cybersecurity:
TireCheck is Certified to
ISO 21434:2021
The advancing connectivity of modern vehicle architectures and the integration of intelligent tire management systems unlock groundbreaking efficiency potentials for the automotive industry. At the same time, the demands on the digital security of vehicles and their supply chains are rising. Vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) and tire manufacturers worldwide face the challenge of guaranteeing the highest security standards and fully complying with regulatory requirements.
Against this backdrop, TireCheck has achieved a strategic milestone: Our processes and systems have been officially certified according to the international standard ISO 21434:2021 (Road vehicles – Cybersecurity engineering).
Strategic Relevance for Vehicle Manufacturers & OEMs
As an established partner to the automotive industry, we understand that cybersecurity does not begin with the finished vehicle, but must be deeply anchored within the supply chain. The certification to ISO 21434:2021 confirms that TireCheck possesses a comprehensive Cybersecurity Management System covering the entire product lifecycle—from the concept phase, software and hardware development, through to maintenance and decommissioning.
For our partners among vehicle manufacturers, this yields key strategic benefits:
Seamless UNECE R155 Compliance: In accordance with UNECE regulations, automotive manufacturers must demonstrate that their suppliers manage cybersecurity across the entire supply chain. Our certification provides the necessary, auditable proof and simplifies your certification and approval processes.
Cybersecurity by Design: Our tire and fleet management systems are developed based on rigorous Threat Analysis and Risk Assessments (TARA). This minimizes attack surfaces within the vehicle architecture right from the first line of code.
Proactive Security Management: The security of our products does not end with delivery. Throughout the entire product lifecycle, we evaluate security-relevant risks, implement appropriate measures, and continuously evolve our products to ensure a high level of security.
Certification to ISO 21434:2021 confirms our consistent commitment to cybersecurity in product development. For TireCheck, cybersecurity is an essential quality factor and the foundation for reliable solutions as well as long-term collaboration with vehicle manufacturers and system partners.
A future-proof foundation for connected mobility
With the successful audit, TireCheck safeguards the compliance of future product generations and reinforces its position as a reliable Tier-1 and Tier-2 supplier. We provide vehicle manufacturers with the assurance that innovative telematics and tire management solutions harmonize seamlessly with the highest standards of modern automotive engineering.

IMPORTANT FAQs
How does ISO 21434 certification support UNECE R155 compliance for OEMs?
ISO 21434 certification provides automotive manufacturers with regulatory proof that cybersecurity across the entire supply chain is managed in accordance with global UNECE R155 requirements.
Since OEMs are responsible for overall vehicle security, our certified Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS) significantly simplifies auditing and type-approval processes with the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) as well as international approval authorities. We provide you with fully documented Threat Analysis and Risk Assessments (TARA) for seamless integration into your vehicle E/E architecture.
For which markets and regions is TireCheck's ISO 21434 certification valid?
ISO 21434:2021 is an international standard with global validity. As a technology company with a strong presence in the DACH region and Europe, TireCheck ensures that all tire management and telematics solutions meet both the strict European compliance requirements for EU type approval and global automotive security standards (e.g., for the US and Asian markets). Processes are harmonized to support OEMs across global vehicle platforms.
How does TireCheck implement the "Cybersecurity by Design" principle in product development?
At TireCheck, cybersecurity is deeply integrated into the entire product lifecycle—from the initial concept phase through software and hardware development to field operations.
Risk Analysis: Every component undergoes a systematic Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA).
Secure Coding: Our software development adheres to state-of-the-art security standards to eliminate vulnerabilities in cloud interfaces (APIs) and sensor endpoints from the outset.
Verification: Continuous penetration testing and code audits validate the resilience of our systems prior to start of production (SOP).
How does TireCheck ensure cybersecurity after start of production (Post-SOP)?
In accordance with ISO 21434, TireCheck implements continuous vulnerability management and a dedicated incident response team for the post-SOP phase (continuous monitoring). Should new cyber threats or vulnerabilities emerge in the market after start of production, we guarantee rapid risk management as well as the provision of validated security updates (software updates according to UNECE R156) to permanently safeguard fleet security and data integrity in the field.
