From the dealership to the vehicle,
covered end to end.
Dealer networks hold customer finance data across dozens of rooftops, suppliers answer to OEM security standards, and vehicles are now software platforms. We watch the estate around the clock and test what you build.
Where automotive businesses are exposed.
The risk runs from the sales floor to the supplier plant to the car itself.
Dealer network sprawl
Many rooftops, shared systems and third-party dealer management tools give attackers many doors and defenders a lot of noise.
Rogue remote-access tools
Unauthorized remote-management agents are a common foothold in dealer networks, and they look like legitimate IT tooling.
Customer finance data
Credit applications, driver's licences and banking details make dealers a target for theft and fraud.
Ransomware on plants and suppliers
Attacks on manufacturers and tier-one suppliers have halted production lines far beyond the company that was hit.
Connected vehicle attack surface
Telematics, infotainment, over-the-air updates and backend APIs all open paths to vehicle data and functions.
The standards your customers and markets require.
National data protection law first, then the international standards OEMs pass down to suppliers.
| Framework | Who it applies to | What we help with |
|---|---|---|
| UAE PDPL, Saudi PDPL and the data protection laws of the other GCC states | Dealers, lenders and fleet operators handling customer personal data | Breach investigation, safeguards assessment and documented incident records |
| Asian data protection laws, such as Singapore PDPA, India DPDP Act 2023 and Japan APPI | Automotive firms handling personal data of customers and drivers in those markets | Breach investigation, impact assessment support and the incident records regulators expect |
| PCI DSS v4.0.1 | Dealers and service centres taking card payments | Gap assessment, segmentation testing and penetration testing |
| ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155 and R156 | Suppliers to OEMs selling into markets that adopt the UNECE regulations | Threat analysis and risk assessment, penetration testing and update-process review |
| TISAX | Suppliers to OEMs that require it, chiefly European manufacturers | Readiness assessment against the assessment catalogue and remediation |
Vehicle and supplier work.
Connected vehicle testing
Penetration testing of telematics units, infotainment, in-vehicle networks and the cloud services behind them.
Over-the-air update review
We test the update pipeline from build and signing through distribution and vehicle-side verification.
Threat analysis workshops
Threat analysis and risk assessment sessions aligned with ISO/SAE 21434, producing cybersecurity goals your engineers can build to.
From real client environments.
Noise cut, nothing missed
About 70,000 false positives from benign cloud tooling were cut to near zero.
A rogue agent, contained fleet-wide
An unauthorized remote-management agent and malware were found and contained across the fleet.
Client identities withheld pending permission. Named references and logos available on request.

Our dealer network generates too many alerts already.
That is the problem MSOC solved for a national automotive retailer: about 70,000 false positives from benign cloud tooling cut to near zero, with no real threats missed.
Each dealership runs its own IT. Can you cover them all?
Yes. We monitor across rooftops from one service, so a threat found at one location is contained everywhere it appears.
An OEM customer is asking for ISO/SAE 21434 or TISAX. Can you help?
Yes. We assess you against the standard, run the threat analysis and testing it calls for, and give you a roadmap to close the gaps.
