Why AIS-189 Exists
Cars today are not just mechanical systems; they are complex computer networks on wheels. A modern vehicle may have 100+ ECUs, each connected through CAN, LIN, or Automotive Ethernet, exchanging millions of messages per second. With connectivity comes exposure — to hackers, spoofing, firmware tampering, and even remote control attacks. Globally, regulations like UNECE R155 and ISO/SAE 21434 were created to ensure vehicles are designed with cybersecurity in mind.
India followed this global direction through AIS-189 a standard that mandates:
By 2027, every new vehicle sold in India must comply with AIS-189

The Challenge
Most OEMs and ECU suppliers understand functional safety (ISO 26262) and quality systems (ASPICE),
but cybersecurity brings a new paradigm:
how do you prove that every line of code, every communication frame, every firmware update — can be trusted?
