Abstract

ASPICE has been introduced to the development of embedded systems at automotive suppliers to assess the capability of processes. ASPICE covers processes for software, system, quality assurance, configuration management, problem resolution, change management, project management, and supplier monitoring. It defines a scheme for determining the capability of the process based on the underlying PAM. Regarding the new appendix of A-SPICE, HW SPICE is considered because it is also necessary for Cybersecurity, but not mechanical SPICE so far. Based on A-SPICE PRM, VDA has defined new processes for Cybersecurity Engineering, Cybersecurity Risk Management, and Supplier Request and Selection. This means additional effort for the assessors and the engineering team when the ASPICE assessment is extended by processes of Cybersecurity to satisfy the requirements of standard ISO/SAE 21434. This paper investigates the method of mapping the base practices (BP) of the cyber-security process defined by VDA to BP of some A-SPICE processes to reduce the time of an assessment by merging the Base Practices of Processes from Cybersecurity with the Base Practices of Processes from ASPICE.
