PAS 11281:2018

This standard PAS 11281:2018 Connected automotive ecosystems. Impact of security on safety. Code of practice is classified in these ICS categories:

• 03.080.01 Services in general
• 03.220.20 Road transport

This PAS gives recommendations for managing security risks that might lead to a compromise of safety in a connected automotive ecosystem.

The PAS covers both the entire connected automotive ecosystem and its constituent systems throughout their lifetimes (including manufacturing, supply chain and maintenance activities). The ecosystem includes vehicles (both those used on public roads, such as cars, and those used for off-road activities such as farming and mining), as well as road-side and other static infrastructure, communication channels between vehicles and infrastructure, servicing and repair facilities, digital services, data and information and other services that support the proper operation of road transport. All levels of vehicle automation and autonomy are in scope.

The PAS applies to risks that can affect a single system, a few systems, or are on a small scale. It also gives recommendations for managing systemic risks – wider risks which might appear small, but which become more significant when interdependencies are considered and where the vulnerability of a single or a few entities poses more widespread risk.

The PAS is intended to be used by manufacturers, operators and maintainers of products, systems and services used in a connected automotive ecosystem. This includes manufacturers of vehicle subsystems, vehicle manufacturers, maintenance organizations, infrastructure operators, owners of large vehicle fleets, and digital service providers.

This PAS might be of interest to regulators and other stakeholders in the connected automotive ecosystem and to users/operators of vehicles.
