Vehicle Security — Protecting Against Theft and Unauthorised Access
Security now covers both physical protection and digital resilience, from keyless entry to cyber‑enabled vehicle access. Thatcham Research’s long‑standing standards and assessments help protect vehicles against evolving threats.
What We Mean by Vehicle Security
Security covers:
- physical anti‑theft systems
- digital protections
- keyless entry resilience
- resistance to emerging attack methods
How We
Assess Security
Using the NVSA benchmark, we assess:
- locking systems
- hardware and access points
- digital vulnerabilities
- keyless entry protection
Security and
Insurance Risk
Stronger security reduces:
- theft incidents
- loss severity
- claims cost
How Security Feeds
Into VRR
Security is a core VRR pillar, combining with safety, repair, performance and damage attributes to create a complete risk picture.
