TARA: Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment

We perform and review Threat Analysis and Risk Assessments following ISO/SAE 21434 for automotive and embedded systems. Assets, damage and threat scenarios and attack paths are derived from the real interfaces, buses and software components, and each risk is rated for impact and attack feasibility, producing a documented TARA traceable from asset to cybersecurity requirement.

Illustrative workflow AssetsThreatsFeasibilityRisk
Assets
Define the item boundary and the assets with their cybersecurity properties.
Threats
Identify damage scenarios, threat scenarios and attack paths.
Feasibility
Rate impact and attack feasibility for each path.
Risk
Determine risk and derive cybersecurity goals for treatment.

Scope

  • New or retrofit TARA for an item or ECU

  • Review of an existing TARA

  • Repeatable TARA method and templates

Starting information

Item definition, architecture and interface descriptions, operational environment and any earlier risk assessments.

Applicable framework

The analysis follows the TARA methods of ISO/SAE 21434:2021. Where a product also falls under the Cyber Resilience Act, the risk assessment can inform its technical documentation, but the two obligations are assessed separately.
