Autosur is recognized as a specialist in the technical control domain, focusing on the verification of vehicle condition and emissions.

In March 2025 Autosur suffered a cyberattack that resulted in unauthorized access to customer personal data, including names, email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers, license plate numbers, encrypted passwords and vehicle serial numbers. The breach exposed approximately three gigabytes of information, with the compromised data later appearing for sale on dark web markets. Following the incident, Autosur notified the French data protection authority (CNIL), filed a police complaint and stated that an investigation is underway to determine the origin and scope of the attack.
