Vehicle Cyber Protection
& Hardening
Modern luxury vehicles are computers on wheels — connected to the internet, tracking location, recording conversations. We secure your vehicles against remote exploitation, tracking, and eavesdropping.
Request a Private ConsultationVehicle Assessment
A comprehensive evaluation of all connected systems in your vehicle — from infotainment and telematics to keyless entry and Bluetooth. We identify every vulnerability that could allow an adversary to track your movements, access your data, listen to conversations, or gain physical access to the vehicle.
Counter-Surveillance
Detecting and neutralising tracking devices, monitoring software, and covert surveillance equipment. We conduct thorough physical and electronic sweeps using professional-grade detection equipment to ensure your vehicle is clean — and provide ongoing countermeasures to keep it that way.
Why this matters
Your vehicle knows where you live, where you work, where your children go to school, and who you meet. Without proper security, this intelligence is available to anyone with the motivation and technical capability to access it.

What's Included
Securing your vehicles
01
Vehicle Cyber Assessment
A comprehensive security evaluation of every connected system in your vehicle — from infotainment and telematics to keyless entry and cellular connectivity — identifying how an adversary could exploit them.
- Infotainment system assessment covering Bluetooth pairing vulnerabilities, USB attack vectors, stored personal data exposure, and the potential for an attacker to pivot from the entertainment system to vehicle control networks
- Telematics and cellular connectivity analysis evaluating the data your vehicle transmits to the manufacturer, what can be accessed through companion apps, and whether remote commands could be intercepted or spoofed
- Keyless entry and start system testing including relay attack susceptibility, signal amplification distance, and rolling code implementation to determine whether your vehicle can be unlocked or started without the physical key
- OBD-II port security assessment evaluating physical access risks, the potential for malicious device implantation, and whether diagnostic interfaces could be exploited for persistent access or data extraction
02
Anti-Tracking & Counter-Surveillance
Detecting and neutralising tracking devices, monitoring software, and surveillance capabilities that may have been covertly installed on your vehicle or that exist as factory features exploitable by third parties.
- Physical sweep of the entire vehicle for covertly installed GPS trackers, GSM listening devices, and hidden cameras using professional RF detection, non-linear junction detection, and manual inspection techniques
- Factory telematics audit identifying what location data, journey history, and vehicle diagnostics the manufacturer collects by default — and what steps can be taken to limit or disable this data transmission
- Companion app security review covering the mobile applications linked to your vehicle — assessing who has access, what permissions are granted, and whether accounts could be compromised to enable remote tracking or unlocking
- Ongoing counter-surveillance recommendations including periodic sweep schedules, behavioural indicators of tracking, and technical countermeasures for high-risk journeys or sensitive travel patterns
03
Secure Configuration & Hardening
Implementing technical controls and configuration changes that reduce your vehicle’s attack surface without compromising functionality — making it significantly harder for an adversary to exploit, track, or surveil.
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi hardening including disabling unnecessary wireless services, implementing connection whitelisting, and configuring auto-connect behaviour to prevent opportunistic pairing attacks
- Keyless entry protection through signal-blocking solutions, relay attack countermeasures, and where supported, firmware modifications that reduce the range and susceptibility of keyless systems
- Privacy configuration of manufacturer telematics to minimise data collection, disable remote access features where appropriate, and restrict third-party data sharing through dealer and manufacturer portals
- Fleet-wide security standards for clients with multiple vehicles — implementing consistent hardening across all cars, ensuring driver awareness, and establishing secure handover procedures for chauffeur-driven services
Who This Is For
Designed for those who need it most
UHNWIs & Family Offices
Securing luxury vehicle fleets against remote exploitation, GPS tracking, and in-cabin surveillance targeting high-value individuals
PEPs & Diplomats
Counter-surveillance and anti-tracking for diplomatic and political figures whose movements are intelligence targets
Senior Executives
Protecting executive vehicles from corporate espionage — preventing eavesdropping, location tracking, and remote system manipulation
Your vehicle is a moving surveillance
platform — unless secured.
Every journey you take is recorded, transmitted, and stored. Your vehicle broadcasts your location, logs your destinations, and in many cases records your conversations. Without intervention, this data is accessible to those who know where to look.
Key questions
Common questions from principals about vehicle cybersecurity, tracking risks, and protecting connected cars and fleets.
Which vehicles are most vulnerable to cyber attack?
Modern luxury vehicles from manufacturers like Tesla, Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover, Bentley, and Porsche are among the most connected — and therefore the most exposed. Any vehicle with an internet connection, companion app, keyless entry, or Bluetooth integration has an exploitable attack surface. Older vehicles with aftermarket trackers, dashcams, or OBD-II dongles can also be vulnerable. The level of risk depends on the specific make, model, year, and configuration.
What can an attacker actually access remotely?
Depending on the vehicle and its configuration, a remote attacker could potentially unlock doors, start the engine, track location in real-time, access journey history, listen to in-cabin conversations through the microphone, read text messages synced via Bluetooth, and in some cases interfere with driving systems. Companion app compromises can grant an attacker the same control that you have through your phone — including remote lock, unlock, and location services.
Can you secure a fleet of vehicles across multiple locations?
Yes. Many of our clients maintain multiple personal vehicles, family vehicles, and chauffeur-driven cars across different residences and jurisdictions. We assess and harden each vehicle individually while implementing consistent security standards across the entire fleet. This includes secure key management procedures, driver security awareness, and ongoing monitoring for all vehicles in the portfolio.
How do you detect hidden tracking devices?
We use a combination of professional-grade RF detection equipment, non-linear junction detectors, thermal imaging, and manual physical inspection to sweep the entire vehicle. This covers hardwired GPS trackers, battery-powered magnetic devices, GSM-based listeners, and any other covert surveillance equipment. We inspect all accessible cavities, undercarriage areas, wheel arches, and dashboard spaces where devices are commonly concealed.
Will hardening my vehicle affect its functionality?
Our hardening measures are designed to reduce attack surface without impacting the driving experience or convenience features you rely on. Where a security measure would affect functionality — for example, disabling a remote start feature — we discuss the trade-off with you and implement the solution that best balances your security requirements with your daily use. Most changes are invisible to the driver.
How often should vehicle security be reassessed?
We recommend an initial comprehensive assessment followed by periodic reviews every 12 months, after any software or firmware update from the manufacturer, when adding new connected accessories, or after any suspected compromise. Vehicles that are used for high-risk travel or by individuals with elevated threat profiles should be swept for tracking devices on a more frequent schedule agreed during the initial engagement.
