What's different about automotive supply

  • IATF 16949 quality standard — comprehensive, including IT control requirements.
  • OEM EDI — electronic data interchange with each OEM customer.
  • Design and engineering IP — CAD files, BOMs, formulas — high confidentiality.
  • OEM audits — supplier IT may be audited as part of overall qualification.
  • Long-life parts — records retained for vehicle lifetime + warranty.
  • Multi-tier supply chain — sub-suppliers, materials, traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions

IATF 16949 IT requirements — what do we need?

IATF 16949 includes IT controls (access management, change control, backup, business continuity, information security). We deliver documentation, evidence, audit log and operational practices that satisfy IATF auditors.

OEM EDI integration?

OEM EDI flows often run through specialist EDI providers (Edicom, Generix, Synertrade etc.). We ensure the environment hosting these flows is secure, available and audited — but don't typically replace the EDI platform itself.

CAD / engineering IP — how?

Sensitivity Labels for "Engineering — Confidential — OEM-X", DLP rules preventing external attachment, encryption-at-rest, audit log on access. For tier-1 confidentiality, additional dedicated SharePoint structures and information barriers.

Audit by Ford / Tofaş / Renault — what to expect?

OEM IT audits typically cover access management, change control, security posture, backup, business continuity. We prepare documented evidence ahead of audit and accompany during audit if helpful.
