Unifying Automotive Functional Safety and Cyber Security Management
Most automotive and commercial vehicle groups run safety and security in separate corners. ISO 26262 sits with one team, ISO 21434 with another. Each unit has its own legacy tools, its own process, its own data. The information overlaps, but the systems never talk to each other.
The obvious fix, one big platform for everyone, sounds clean on a slide. In practice it stalls local engineering, runs up switching costs, and forces every division into a process that fits none of them.
This whitepaper shows the alternative: a vendor-neutral integration layer that unifies the data without ripping out the tools underneath. itemis ANALYZE connects DOORS, Polarion, Jira, Simulink, and itemis SECURE into one traceability graph, so corporate governance and ISO 26262 / ISO 21434 reporting can start right away, while each team keeps the tools it already trusts.
What you'll find inside:
-
Why all-in-one platforms quietly create double maintenance and constant data drift
-
How an adapter-based integration hub builds a single source of truth across A-SPICE, ISO 26262, and ISO 21434
-
itemis SECURE for TARA: ISO/SAE 21434-compliant
-
A phased migration model that lets early movers and legacy units each move at their own speed
-
How a unified data graph becomes the foundation for AI-based and agentic engineering
