Sales and procurement in transition: Integration of cybersecurity


Adapting sales and purchasing processes to the new era of automotive cybersecurity

The specialized teams in sales and purchasing play a significant role within the automotive industry today when it comes to the new cybersecurity requirements. At the level of regulations and industry standards, cybersecurity has become such a driver that contractual relationships need to be adapted. In particular, the ongoing responsibility for cybersecurity in the operational phase (Continuous Cybersecurity Activities / Incident Management) requires unprecedented mutual dependency. New customer requirements and expectations affect sales and supplier selection. This is accompanied by numerous changes, such as a feasibility check when it comes to reuse, re-evaluations of suppliers, adjustments to procurement strategies and much more.

Learn about the impact of cybersecurity in the automotive as a Sales/Purchase member, and get the necessary knowledge to appropriately plan all stages of the sale/purchase process, as well as coordinate with the different stakeholders involved in the process to ensure cybersecurity best practices. Now you will find all learning content of the live training available as a video course series.

Advantages at a glance


  • Confidence in dealing with new customer requirements: Today, cybersecurity must be considered in quotation and contract designs with a view to feasibility, costs and timelines. The right understanding and associated skills to holistically integrate new customer requirements arising from cybersecurity into existing processes are essential. This enables sales and purchasing teams to better respond to customer needs and increase competitiveness in terms of cybersecurity.
  • Integration of cybersecurity into supplier selection and evaluation: The inclusion of additional cybersecurity criteria in the supplier selection process, properly implemented, fosters a stronger emphasis on security and quality in procured products and services.
  • Competence in performing critical reviews of component reusability: Cybersecurity requires new evaluation criteria for the extent to which the reusability of components and software is possible with regard to cybersecurity requirements (e.g. in terms of correct documentation).
  • Expertise in managing additional interfaces, including post-development: Driven by cybersecurity, new phases in the product lifecycle are coming into focus. Cybersecurity requirements need to be taken into account at an early stage in sales and procurement processes and coordination and negotiations need to be approached accordingly.
