Clear safety and security strategy for 2025

At DEKRA, we have been synonymous with safety for almost 100 years, always keeping our finger on the pulse and paying close attention to the needs of our customers. With digitally connected products and systems as well as a changing climate, we have observed a shift – and indeed a growth – in the need for safety and security.

For DEKRA, people will continue to come first. But as well as the physical safety side, there is also the need to maintain the security of personal data and connected systems against external attacks. In the year under review, we therefore added security and sustainability elements to our organizational vision for 2025 and refined our strategic position.

»We will be the global partner for a safe, secure and sustainable world.«

Stefan Kölbl, Chairman of the Management Board DEKRA e.V. and DEKRA SE CEO

The expanding of our organizational vision was paired with strategic priority setting in 2021. We will be concentrating on five focus areas, which represent significant growth fields. Across the focus areas of Artificial Intelligence & Advanced Analytics, Future Vehicles & Mobility Services, Remote Services, Information & Cyber Security Services, and Sustainability Services, we will both improve our existing offering and develop new services, especially digital ones.

We will be refocusing our expertise, addressing current challenges, and leveraging all the opportunities available for future growth. This is how DEKRA will become the global partner for a safe, secure, and sustainable world.

— FoCUS AREA 1

Focus area Future Vehicle & Mobility Services

Mobility is in a period of transformation more fascinating than any that has existed since the invention of the automobile. A paradigm shift is taking place – and it goes far beyond just drive technologies. Road safety is also being redefined. DEKRA is helping to shape this development in key areas of testing and monitoring.

— FoCUS AREA 2

Focus area Information & Cyber Security Services

One of the main challenges of digitalization is ensuring the security of data. Information and cyber security are critical factors in the success of companies, in protecting personal rights and in ensuring the safety of machinery and vehicles. With the increasing number of criminal attacks in a networked world, the need for security is growing. As an independent third party, DEKRA is working hard at the interface between technology and regulation to shape the security architecture of the future.

Focus area Remote Services

In almost every industry and company, the coronavirus pandemic has intensified the trend toward offering or providing products and services from a distance. “Remote” is the new buzzword. DEKRA has risen to this challenge and has digitalized its offering in all situations where this is permitted by rules and regulations.

— FoCUS AREA 4

Focus area Artificial Intelligence & Advanced Analytics

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a vision for the future but already a key driver in economic value creation. Companies are relying on AI as well as processes such as data analytics and machine learning in order to achieve greater automation of their production processes. Or they are using the insights they generate to improve existing services and gain access to new business areas. However, AI applications are not “preprogrammed” to deliver benefits. That is why it is necessary in particular for independent bodies like DEKRA to define and continually review binding rules.

— FoCUS AREA 5

Focus area Sustainability Services

The 26th Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, COP26, was undoubtedly one of the most significant events of 2021 – even though the conference in Scotland didn’t live up to all expectations. Nevertheless, the event was an important milestone on the path toward a sustainable economy and way of living – a path that DEKRA also helps to shape with its services. This is because DEKRA helps companies to redefine their business processes with sustainability in mind. Of course, DEKRA is also continuously reducing its own environmental footprint.
