Finite State helps OEMs and Tier 1s turn ECU firmware, source, and supplier inputs into a living software inventory, exploitability-based decisions, and audit-ready evidence, per release, for ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155/R156 (WP.29).
Modern vehicles ship a distributed software supply chain across ECUs, suppliers, variants, and OTA updates. When teams can’t prove what’s in a build or what changed, security decisions and compliance evidence become manual, last-minute work.
Automotive security, engineering, and compliance teams are forced into manual, last-minute decisions when they can’t reliably prove what shipped or what changed between releases.
Opaque Software Inventory
ECU builds and variants change fast, but SBOMs and dependency lists lag behind or don’t reflect what actually shipped.
Supplier and Variant Complexity
A single vehicle program spans dozens of suppliers and 100+ ECUs, making consistent component tracking and policy decisions difficult to scale.
Mounting Automotive Requirements
UNECE R155/R156 and ISO/SAE 21434 require repeatable processes and evidence across releases, not just point-in-time assessments.
High-Impact Security Events
Noise-heavy vulnerability lists waste cycles, while the small number of truly exploitable issues can create recall risk, schedule slips, and customer escalations.
With Finite State, teams rely on firmware-grounded decisions and audit-ready evidence that stays current every release.
Firmware-Grounded Inventory
Generate SBOMs directly from the artifacts you ship, so inventory reflects the actual release, not stale spreadsheets or supplier declarations.
One System of Record
Consolidate supplier SBOMs and third-party outputs into a single portfolio view, keeping component status and policy decisions consistent across ECUs and variants.
Continuous Compliance Evidence
Capture traceable, audit-ready evidence across releases, including inventory, decisions, verification, and audit trail, to support ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155/R156.
Exploitability-Based Prioritization
Correlate vulnerabilities to what’s actually in the build and focus on the small set that can plausibly impact safety, uptime, and release readiness.
Finite State provides a continuous workflow that ties ECU build artifacts directly to vulnerability decisions.
Analyze ECU firmware and source together to build a build-accurate inventory, keeping SBOMs, dependencies, and component data consistent across variants.

Practical security, compliance, and supply chain assurance grounded in shipped software.
Assemble compliance documentation directly from release artifacts and verification results for ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155/R156.
Maintain a consolidated inventory across ECUs, suppliers, and variants, with SBOMs and component data derived from build artifacts.
Prioritize vulnerabilities based on build context and exploitability, supporting consistent decisions across safety, uptime, and release readiness.
Finite State supports automotive security engineering and regulatory expectations by linking software inventory, vulnerability decisions, and verification outputs to regulatory requirements.
