NavInfo Europe, a leading software service provider for the automotive industry and Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, jointly announced their collaboration to support technology players who plan to expand their business into Europe by providing them with services and solutions that meet all the European regulatory requirements and standards including GDPR.
According to the GDPR, all companies that operate within the EU need to comply with the technical and operational measures to ensure data protection for all EU citizens and residents. NavInfo Europe, acting as a data processor, offers an end-to-end GDPR-compliant data processing infrastructure that includes AI-powered anonymization of license plates and faces. The whole pipeline has been successfully deployed and optimized at Tencent Cloud’s availability zone in Frankfurt.

Customers can also take advantage of NavInfo Europe’s Data Handling Services to digitally transfer large-scale anonymized data via Tencent Cloud’s Global Application Acceleration Platform, which enables customers to gain fast, stable and secure access with minimal lag and latency. Through the deployment of NavInfo Europe’s GDPR compliance package on Tencent Cloud, customers can benefit from a global full-stack cloud solution that boasts high-speed network connectivity between 70 availability zones across 26 regions, including China and Europe.
Vehicles are becoming more connected and dependent on cloud-based back-end infrastructures, which opens new attack vectors and makes vehicles more vulnerable. Therefore, the UNECE WP.29 and ISO 21434 Standard are adopted globally in the automotive industry, where cybersecurity governance structures and testing processes must be implemented and adapted to secure throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle. With this collaboration, NavInfo Europe and Tencent Cloud will offer remote and real-time global penetration testing via a virtual stand to simulate real-life attack scenarios, automatically identify vulnerabilities and provide guideline reports for fixing, monitoring, and improving vehicle security. Together, we secure OEM cloud-based vehicle functions, such as OTA and V2X, as well as third-party backend services for infotainment and telematics.
