Executive Summary This document outlines the project plan for the Cybersecurity Engineering activities required to support the type approval of an electric motorcycle. The scope covers the engineering work packages (WP.3) for the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU), Telematics Control Unit (TCU), Battery Management System (BMS), and Instrument Cluster (IC). The project aims to deliver the necessary work products—including Item Definitions, TARAs, Cybersecurity Concepts, and Evidence Packages—to support the Cybersecurity Case. **Key Strategic Adjustments:** * **Resource Optimization:** The team structure leverages a Senior Technical Lead (Klavs) for content generation and a dedicated Coordinator (Gnana) for process management, allowing the Technical Authority (Jan) to focus solely on high-level architecture and quality gates. * **Testing Strategy:** Penetration Testing and Fuzz Testing execution is outsourced to a specialized external team. The internal team retains responsibility for test specification, environment preparation, and results review. * **Timeline:** A phased approach from March to December ensures the "Concept" phase is complete before the summer to allow for testing and CS Case finalization in Q4. --- ## 2. Resource Strategy & Responsibilities The team consists of five core members with distinct roles designed to maximize cost-efficiency and technical quality. ### 2.1 Team Composition | Name | Role | Hourly Rate Class | Primary Responsibility | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Jan** | Technical Authority / Lead | High (4x Junior) | Vehicle TARA adaptation, CS Concept review, Final Quality Gates, Architecture Decisions. | | **Klavs** | Senior Cybersecurity Engineer | Standard | Technical execution of TARA, Item Definitions, and CS Concepts. He acts as the technical workhorse. | | **Gnana** | Project Coordinator | Standard | Daily coordination, Supplier management, CS Plan & CS Case compilation, Interface to CSMS & Testing Teams. | | **Ashwin** | Junior Cybersecurity Engineer | Junior | Execution of Vulnerability Assessments (SBOM), Test Spec preparation, Documentation support. | | **TBN** | Junior Cybersecurity Engineer | Junior | Execution of Vulnerability Assessments (SBOM), Test Spec preparation, Documentation support. | ### 2.2 Way of Work (The "Pairing" Model) To maximize efficiency, we will pair the Senior Engineer with Juniors for content creation: * **The Model:** Klavs (Senior) performs the analysis and defines the technical content. The Junior (Ashwin/TBN) documents the output, creates diagrams, and handles formatting. * **Benefit:** Klavs is not bogged down by documentation; Juniors gain mentorship; Jan only reviews the final polished technical content. --- ## 3. Scope Definition & Effort Adjustment The original effort estimation has been adjusted to reflect the outsourcing of Penetration and Fuzz Testing execution. **Total Effort Breakdown:** * **Original Scope (WP.3):** ~6,616 Hours * **Removed Scope (External Testing Execution):** ~1,300 Hours * **Net Scope (Internal Team):** ~5,316 Hours This reduction ensures the team can comfortably execute the project within the 10-month timeframe without overtime risks. --- ## 4.

Risk Management | Risk ID | Description | Probability | Impact | Mitigation Strategy | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **R01** | **CSMS Template Delay:** The separate CSMS team delays templates, blocking our documentation. | Medium | High | Gnana to align with CSMS team in Week 1. If templates are late, Jan will define a temporary structure to start work immediately. | | **R02** | **Supplier Documents Missing:** Critical interface documents for BMS/VCU are not provided on time. | High | High | Gnana to chase suppliers daily from Day 1. Jan to define "Out of Context Assumptions" if data is missing by April. | | **R03** | **Pentest Findings:** External testing reveals critical vulnerabilities requiring redesign. | Medium | High | Klavs to support implementation consulting. Jan to triage findings immediately to accept risk or mandate fixes. | | **R04** | **Junior Underperformance:** Ashwin/TBN produce low-quality TARA drafts. | Low | Medium | Klavs performs "Quality Gates" before Jan sees work. Jan performs random audits (10% sampling). | --- ## 7. Dependencies 1. **CSMS Team:** Must provide approved templates for the CS Plan, Risk Assessment, and Supplier Agreements. 2. **Suppliers:** Must provide interface definitions and security documentation for BMS and VCU. 3. **External Test Team:** Must adhere to the schedule defined in Phase 3 to prevent bottlenecks in Phase 4. 4. **Client Stakeholders:** Availability for TARA workshops (April/June) is critical. id: 4dea865fe57c4462a0c7f0769ba945d3 parent_id: f1f0b6c596e745509dea9131033d68d7 created_time: 2026-02-27T06:55:54.536Z updated_time: 2026-02-27T08:10:01.725Z is_conflict: 0 latitude: 48.20817430 longitude: 16.37381890 altitude: 0.0000 author: source_url: is_todo: 0 todo_due: 0 todo_completed: 0 source: joplin-desktop source_application: net.cozic.joplin-desktop application_data: order: 0 user_created_time: 2026-02-27T06:55:54.536Z user_updated_time: 2026-02-27T06:55:57.078Z encryption_cipher_text: encryption_applied: 0 markup_language: 1 is_shared: 0 share_id: conflict_original_id: master_key_id: user_data: deleted_time: 1772179801725 type_: 1
