The EVC-Guardian project, awarded under the CONSOLE External Validation Activities (EVA), focuses on strengthening the cybersecurity of EV charging software systems, particularly those handling financial transactions and cross-platform integrations. EV Loader’s applications rely heavily on OCPI based communication with third party roaming partners and payment providers such as Payter, where sensitive data exchanges and billing processes introduce significant cybersecurity risk.
In this context, vulnerabilities in API connections, authentication flows or data integrity mechanisms could lead to financial fraud, incorrect billing, or disruption of charging services across multiple stakeholders at once. The CONSOLE platform is used to monitor and analyse the production codebase that manages these interactions, through static code analysis, vulnerability detection and security reporting dashboards.
Through EVC-Guardian we validate how CONSOLE can support real world secure software development in a highly interconnected and financially sensitive environment, keeping EV charging services trustworthy, resilient and aligned with emerging cybersecurity requirements.
