AUTOMOTIVE

Most of the code in a modern vehicle comes from suppliers, and much of it arrives compiled. DerScanner reads every layer in one place and builds the R155 evidence as teams ship, on infrastructure the manufacturer controls.

Ship on schedule and still clear the audit

Four things that decide whether an audit costs a release.

01

Cover every layer of the vehicle

In-house code, supplier binaries and open-source packages each need a different kind of check: SAST, SCA, DAST, binary analysis. One platform runs all of them on a single severity scale, so four tools and four severity models collapse into one count of open findings.

02

Read the binary a supplier sent

The source stays with the supplier, so acceptance testing runs on trust. Binary analysis reads the deliverable itself, and two suppliers become comparable on the same numbers.

03

Find the affected releases before the regulator asks

An advisory lands on a component that shipped two model years ago. A CycloneDX SBOM sits on every scan in the project history, so the affected-versions answer takes minutes.

04

Export the audit record

An audit asks what was scanned, who reviewed it and when. Every finding already carries all three, so audit preparation becomes a download.

Wide language coverage

Visual Basic

Static analysis of manufacturing execution systems, plant SAP pipelines and dealer management platforms.

Assess a deliverable that arrived without source

A supplier ships a binary and a promise, and acceptance testing has nothing to measure. Binary analysis reads the deliverable directly, so procurement compares two suppliers on the same numbers.

Reach the flaws a manifest never lists

We resolved 13,205 dependencies across 61 automotive open-source components and found 257 critical vulnerabilities, every one of them transitive and none declared in a manifest. Call-graph analysis narrows that list to the paths carrying risk into the vehicle, and remediation starts there.

Which framework do you need evidence for?

Select a framework to see which capability produces the artifact.

Requirement

A certified Cybersecurity Management System covering the lifecycle and the supply chain. Mandatory for all new vehicles in UNECE markets since July 2024.

What DerScanner provides

Scanning across embedded, infotainment, backend and supplier code, with an event log on every finding.

Artifact

Scan history and event log per project.

What does a dependency-level scan of automotive open source find?

61 components from KUKSA, COVESA and Velocitas, resolved to full dependency depth. Every finding traces to a public advisory, and the full report ranks all 61 by name.

Which part of the automotive stack do you build?

OEMs

The type approval holder answers for code that dozens of suppliers wrote.

Review supplier deliverables without asking for the source code.

Talk to us about type approval

Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers

Every OEM contract now carries a security clause, and every review asks what was scanned.

Hand the OEM a scan report along with the delivery.

Talk to us about supplier evidence

Infotainment and HMI teams

A head unit on Android Automotive, AGL or QNX ships with an OTA channel straight into the field.

Ship a head unit release without a separate mobile security cycle.

Talk to us about infotainment

Telematics and connected services

One API holds position, diagnostics and driver identity for the entire installed base.

Catch an API flaw before it reaches the whole fleet.

Talk to us about connected services

EV charging and infrastructure

Charge points sit outside the vehicle, carry payments, and drew fire at Pwn2Own Automotive three years running.

Cover firmware, backend and payments without three separate tools.

Who verified DerScanner

When looking for the scanner to build our secure development process on, we evaluated the capabilities of global leading vendors. We were surprised with the very convenient licensing model along with the impressive capabilities of the product. DerScanner is an optimal solution to our main challenge of checking the health of our product's code.

DerScanner discovered potential weaknesses that would have been difficult or even impossible to find, even in long-standing, mature code. I definitely recommend DerScanner if you are serious about the security of your code and the apps you create.

We use DerScanner to support our secure code review and SAST services. Its broad language support, reliable static analysis, and actionable findings help our consultants deliver consistent, high-quality security assessments.

What OEMs and suppliers ask before a PoC

Yes. DerScanner deploys fully on-premise, including air-gapped environments with no outbound access. Scanning, AI triage and code fix generation all execute inside the perimeter, which matters when a joint development agreement restricts where pre-production source code may travel. DerTriage and DerCodeFix are local modules, and no code or finding is sent to an external model.

Stay compliant with DerScanner

  • Run a proof of concept on one codebase, including embedded or binary-only components.
  • Pick the deployment that fits: private cloud, on-premise or air-gapped.
  • Be sure about regulations: Every finding is mapped to OWASP and CWE, and the same scan provides the evidence R155, ISO/SAE 21434 and CRA reviews ask for.
