Security Consulting For Secure Wall Box Electric Charger System In Automotive Industry

Industry: Automotive

This case study focuses on our company’s secure development consulting services provided to a Smart Charging Station company that is part of an automotive group.

Client needs

The objective was to review and enhance the security requirements for a Wall box electric charger system (based on ISO 15118-2X support and OCPP 2.0.1 implementation and best practices). We collaborated with the client to embed security policies across various system levels, conducted implementation security testing, facilitated vendor selection for secure components, and performed a comprehensive security review of the entire solution.

Paysafe’s fast-paced expansion had resulted in a lack of process consistency & standardisation across their acquired brands. The numerous manual and non-transparent processes at play were something Paysafe were keen to address.

Additionally, in the face of increasing industry regulation and compliance requirements, Paysafe were eager to stay ahead of the curve in responding to these changes, whilst also maintaining the relentless customer focus and agility that is at the core of their DNA.
