BSI PAS 1880:2020 for Auditors
What does BSI PAS 1880:2020 require of a Auditor?
BSI PAS 1880:2020 sets out how to design and assess the control system of an automated vehicle: define the mission and the operational design domains, then design four operations (sensing, planning, control, monitoring) that each check themselves, report to an independent monitor and bring the vehicle to a controlled or emergency stop when they cannot be trusted; handle the four general vehicle hazards, resist cyber attack, stay effective, and evidence every objective. 51 guidance leaves read against the complete BSI/CCAV publication. Under BSI PAS 1880:2020, which defines 51 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
