The SOQRATES working group as an innovation task force of Tier 1 and OEMs have elaborated in the last 13 years experiences about combining ASPICE assessments with ISO 26262 functional safety audits and assessments. In a recent update in 2024 the working group mapped now all ISO 26262 objectives from parts 2,3,4,5,6,8,9 of the ISO 26262 to the different ASPICE practices. This work was then also integrated into the assessment portal Capability Adviser and used in assessments. This paper describes this newest mapping and also outlines more exactly where ASPICE and functional safety are overlapping and which level of detail or parts an ASPI E assessment would not cover and an additional safety assessment report is required.

ABSTRACT In the EU blueprint project FLAMENCO (Forward Looking Approaches for Green Mobility Ecosystem Network Collaboration), an innovation agent task force has been founded, which acts as an expert panel to elaborate a skills set of an innovation agent for automotive and establishes an innovation capability assessment model based on the ISO 560xx Innovation Management Systems norm series. In 2024, a new EU project TRIREME (Digital & Green Skills Towards Future of the Mobility Ecosystem, 2024–2027) started, which builds on this existing innovation agent task force and provides resources to elaborate MOOcs (Massive Open Online Courses) per chapter of the ISO 5600x norm applying new tools like AI. The MOOC is then configured in a European Skills Hub of the ASA (Automotive Skills Alliance). ASA represents the pact for skills partner in the EU Erasmus+ program for the automotive sector. The research work about the use of AI (artificial intelligence) for the implementation of specific ISO 560xx chapters will be published. This paper is about the results of the work on the ISO 56006 Strategic Intelligence Management implementation using AI in the TRIREME project.

Abstract In August 2021 the ISO 21434:2021 standard for Road vehicles—Cybersecurity Engineering has been published. At the same time the blue book from VDA (Verein der Deutschen Automobilgesellschaft; German Automotive Association) for Automotive SPICE cybersecurity assessments has been released. In addition in the period September–December 2021 the training material for iNTACS (INTernational Assessor Certification Schema) certified Automotive SPICE for cybersecurity assessors has been developed. Since February 2022 the upgrade training of assessors worldwide has started. Beside the ASPICE (Automotive SPICE) for cybersecurity blue book also a red book from VDA has been published. The red book describes the questions to check in an ACSMS (Automotive CyberSecurity Management System) audit. This paper explains the main strategy and content for ASPICE for Cybersecurity assessments and how such assessments are integrated to the overall ACSMS strategy. Also, the paper outlines an example method and tool used in ASPICE for cybersecurity assessments and how such assessment results will look like.
