Digital Audit - Maserati S.p.A.

Audit Phase: Digital (Digital / Technology Forensics) Subject Entity: Maserati S.p.A. (luxury automotive brand of Stellantis N.V.; registered in Modena, Italy) Audit Date: June 2026 Evidence Base: Corporate press releases (Stellantis, Mobileye, Bosch, Continental), SEC/EDGAR filings, automotive trade and security press, NGO/UN settlement databases, and importer disclosures. All factual claims are drawn from publicly available sources cited in the End Notes.

Scope and directionality note: Digital assesses the digital/technology nexus to Israel. The serious case is the provision of surveillance, digital, data, or cyber technology to the Israeli state, military, or security services. The reverse direction - Maserati or its parent procuring technology from Israeli-origin vendors, or embedding Israeli-founded components in its vehicles - is a customer relationship and is recorded explicitly as such, weighted far lower than provision. No transitive guilt is imputed: an Israeli-origin vendor’s other clients, its founders’ backgrounds, or a parent group’s separate activities are not attributed to Maserati. US-entity relationships (Microsoft, Amazon, Google, BlackBerry QNX) and other non-Israeli vendors (Bosch, Continental AG, Foxconn) are not Israeli-origin and are noted only for completeness. Maserati is a wholly owned brand of Stellantis N.V.; where evidence exists only at Stellantis group level, this is stated, and group-level facts are not asserted as Maserati-specific findings without a brand-level source.

Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships

Strategic Enterprise Technology Partnerships (Direction: Maserati/Stellantis as customer)

Maserati’s enterprise IT sits within the Stellantis group technology estate. The principal disclosed group relationships are with US-headquartered entities. On 16 April 2026 Stellantis announced a five-year strategic collaboration with Microsoft (US; Nasdaq: MSFT) covering Azure cloud modernisation (targeting a stated 60% datacentre-footprint reduction by 2029), more than 100 co-developed AI projects, and Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment across the workforce; Maserati appears only in the brand-portfolio list, with no Maserati-specific scope disclosed.¹ Stellantis selected Amazon Web Services (US) as preferred cloud provider for vehicle platforms in 2022, and in January 2024 Stellantis, BlackBerry QNX (Canada) and AWS launched a cloud-based “Virtual Cockpit” / STLA SmartCockpit development environment.² These are inbound (customer) relationships with non-Israeli entities and are recorded for completeness only.

Israeli-Origin Technology in the Vehicle Stack (Direction: Maserati/Stellantis as customer)

Mobileye - historical autonomous-driving development MoU (FCA level). In August 2017, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA, Maserati’s predecessor parent) signed a memorandum of understanding to join BMW Group, Intel and Mobileye (Israeli-origin, headquartered Jerusalem) in developing a scalable Level 3–5 autonomous-driving platform.³ This was a development collaboration, not a confirmed production supply contract for Maserati-branded vehicles. Mobileye’s own ADAS fact sheet names Audi, BMW, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan and Volkswagen as OEM partners and does not list Stellantis, FCA, or Maserati.⁴ Stellantis has since built its in-house STLA AutoDrive platform and, for next-generation supervised automated driving, announced partnerships with UK-based Wayve (May 2026; not Israeli-origin) rather than Mobileye.⁵⁶ No current primary source reviewed confirms Mobileye EyeQ silicon as the production ADAS supplier in any specific Maserati model; this is recorded as an unresolved procurement question, not a confirmed Israeli-origin dependency.

Argus Cyber Security (via Continental/Elektrobit). Continental AG (Germany) acquired the Tel Aviv-founded automotive-cybersecurity firm Argus Cyber Security in 2017, integrating it into its Elektrobit software unit; Argus supplies intrusion-detection/prevention (IDPS) and over-the-air security technology embedded in Continental telematics products.⁷ Continental is a Tier-1 supplier across the industry, but no public source disaggregates which OEM platforms or Maserati model lines carry Argus-derived components. Any presence would be an embedded, inbound sub-component reaching Maserati through a German Tier-1, not a Maserati relationship with an Israeli entity, and is unconfirmed at the Maserati vehicle level.

Upstream Security. Upstream Security (Tel Aviv-founded, automotive cloud cybersecurity/XDR) names Stellantis among the OEMs with connected fleets referenced in its market materials/reports.⁸ This is a group-level customer reference (Stellantis procuring monitoring services), not corroborated by a Stellantis press release as Maserati-specific. Direction is inbound (customer); no provision to any Israeli state body arises.

Israeli-Origin Cybersecurity / Enterprise Vendors (Check Point, CyberArk, Wiz, SentinelOne, NICE, Verint, Claroty, C2A)

No public evidence was independently identified confirming a direct licensing, subscription, or integration relationship between Maserati S.p.A. (or Stellantis at group level, attributable to Maserati) and any named Israeli-origin enterprise-cybersecurity vendor. Stellantis group procurement below the level of announced partnerships is not publicly disclosed in sufficient granularity to confirm or exclude such relationships. No public evidence identified.

Non-Israeli Production ADAS / Infotainment Suppliers (for completeness)

Maserati’s documented production driver-assistance supplier is Bosch (Germany): the Bosch “Highway Assist” SAE Level 2 system (ACC Stop & Go plus Lane Centering, using Bosch long-range radar, camera and GPS, with Bosch electric power steering) was installed across the Maserati MY2018 range (Ghibli, Levante, Quattroporte).⁹ Stellantis’ infotainment/smart-cockpit software is developed through the Mobile Drive joint venture with Foxconn/FIH Mobile (Taiwan), announced May 2021.¹⁰ None of these is Israeli-origin.

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

Facial Recognition & Biometric Identification

No public evidence identified that Maserati S.p.A. deploys facial-recognition, biometric-identification, behavioural-analytics, or gait-analysis technology of Israeli origin (e.g. Oosto/AnyVision, BriefCam, Corsight, Trigo, Trax) at its Modena manufacturing site, corporate offices, or showrooms. No public evidence identified.

Predictive Analytics & Workforce Monitoring

No public evidence identified of Israeli-origin predictive-analytics, sentiment-analysis, social-media-monitoring, or workforce-surveillance tools deployed by Maserati at any operational level.

Dealer-Level & In-Vehicle Retail / Customer Technology

Maserati operates the Maserati Connect connected-vehicle service (available on Ghibli/Quattroporte/Levante MY21+, MC20, Grecale, GranTurismo), built on the FCA/Stellantis “myconnect” backend, providing remote vehicle access, location, and health monitoring; Maserati states data is transmitted in encrypted form.¹¹ No public evidence identified of an Israeli-origin analytics, biometric, or surveillance layer within Maserati Connect or within dealer CRM/DMS platforms. The specific tooling used by Maserati’s Israeli importer at dealer level is not publicly documented (see Civil Society section); this is an unresolved gap, not a finding.

Third-Party Bundled Deployment

No public evidence identified of Israeli-origin surveillance or biometric technology reaching Maserati indirectly through managed-service providers, bundled enterprise suites, or fleet-telematics aggregators.

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

Data Centre Operations in Israel

No public evidence identified that Maserati S.p.A. operates, leases, or co-locates data-centre infrastructure within Israel. Maserati’s data infrastructure runs through Stellantis group cloud agreements with AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google, anchored to non-Israeli (primarily European/North American) regions in the disclosures reviewed.¹² No Israel-region cloud deployment has been publicly announced.

Project Nimbus & Israeli State Cloud Infrastructure

Not applicable. Project Nimbus is the Israeli-government national cloud contract awarded to Google and Amazon Web Services. Maserati is neither a participant, subcontractor, technology vendor, nor data processor in that framework. That Stellantis uses AWS and Google commercially at group level does not implicate Maserati in Nimbus delivery. No public evidence identified.

Data-Sovereignty or Resilience Services to Israeli State Institutions

No public evidence identified. Maserati does not operate as a cloud, data-sovereignty, or managed-infrastructure provider to any state institution, Israeli or otherwise.

Connected-Vehicle Data Flows

Maserati Connect vehicles generate telematics, location and vehicle-health data processed through Stellantis/FCA cloud infrastructure.¹¹ Whether data from Israeli-market Maserati vehicles is routed through any Israeli cloud region is not publicly documented and is recorded as a residual evidence gap. No public evidence identified of any Israeli state entity as a recipient of this data.

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

Military & Intelligence Contracts

No public evidence identified of any contract, partnership, or service agreement between Maserati S.p.A. and the Israeli Ministry of Defense, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Shin Bet, Mossad, or any Israeli intelligence/security agency. Maserati produces civilian luxury automobiles with no publicly documented military or intelligence application.

Provision of Technology / Data to the Israeli State or Military

No public evidence identified of Maserati providing surveillance technology, data, software, cloud capacity, or digital services to the Israeli state, military, or security services. This is the directionally serious Digital case, and no qualifying evidence of it was found. No public evidence identified.

Dual-Use Technology Provision

No public evidence identified of Maserati’s commercial technology - ADAS, connected-vehicle platforms, or telematics - being reported or confirmed as deployed for military, intelligence, or law-enforcement surveillance applications in Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Offensive Cyber Capability

No public evidence identified. Maserati does not develop, license, or sell offensive cyber capability, digital weapons, or signals-intelligence tools. For factual digital context only: in 2025 Stellantis (Maserati’s parent) disclosed a third-party data breach - attackers (reported as ShinyHunters) accessed a third-party Salesforce-based customer-service platform serving North American operations, exposing contact information (names, addresses, phone, email) for a large number of customers; Stellantis stated no financial data was compromised.¹² This incident was done to Stellantis and has no nexus to provision of technology to Israel.

AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems

AI/ML Provision to Israeli State Bodies

No public evidence identified of Maserati providing artificial-intelligence, machine-learning, computer-vision, or autonomous decision-support systems to any Israeli state, military, or security body.

Driver-Assistance & Autonomous Systems

Maserati’s production driver-assistance systems are documented as built on Bosch Highway Assist technology (MY2018 range).⁹ At Stellantis group level, autonomous-driving development is now centred on the in-house STLA AutoDrive platform with UK-based Wayve providing the AI Driver (announced May 2026, North America launch targeted 2028).⁵⁶ The earlier 2017 FCA–BMW–Intel–Mobileye autonomous MoU is the only Israeli-origin link in this lineage, and no current source confirms it survives as a production component in Maserati vehicles.³⁴ No public record exists of any Maserati or Stellantis ADAS/autonomous platform being supplied to Israeli military or security forces.

Training Data & Model Development Involving Israeli Population Data

No public evidence identified of Maserati AI/ML models being trained on civilian-population, biometric, intercepted-communications, or surveillance-derived datasets from Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Algorithmic Decision-Making in Vehicle Operations

Maserati’s algorithmic systems (OTA-update decisioning, predictive-maintenance/vehicle-health analytics) operate through the Stellantis/FCA connected-vehicle platform.¹¹ No Israeli state entity has been identified as a recipient or co-processor of this data in public sources.

Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint

Israeli R&D Facilities

No public evidence identified that Maserati S.p.A. operates any R&D facility, engineering office, innovation lab, or accelerator programme within Israel. Maserati’s engineering and design operations are concentrated in Modena, Italy.¹¹

Acquisitions & Investments in Israeli Technology Companies

No public evidence identified of Maserati S.p.A. acquiring, or taking a corporate-venture stake in, any Israeli technology company. The Israeli-origin technologies touching the Stellantis vehicle ecosystem identified here (Mobileye via a 2017 development MoU; Argus via Continental; Upstream as a service vendor) are supplier/partner relationships, not Maserati investments.³⁷⁸

Patents & IP Co-Development with Israeli Institutions

No public evidence identified of patent portfolios, licensing, or co-development arrangements between Maserati and Israeli-domiciled entities or research institutions (Technion, Hebrew University, Weizmann Institute, Israel Innovation Authority programmes).

Regulatory-Compliance Technology (UNECE WP.29) - Vendor Stack

Maserati and Stellantis are subject to the UNECE WP.29 automotive-cybersecurity regulation, which requires a cybersecurity-management system for type-approved vehicles. The specific vendor stack Stellantis uses to achieve compliance is not publicly disaggregated by brand or model; some industry WP.29 tooling vendors are Israeli-founded, but no public source links any named Israeli-origin compliance vendor specifically to Maserati. No public evidence identified at the Maserati level.

Civil Society Scrutiny & Regulatory History

NGO & Academic Scrutiny - Technology Supply Chain

No public evidence identified of an NGO investigation, academic study, or UN report addressing Maserati’s technology relationships with the Israeli state, Israeli defence entities, or Israeli-origin vendors. The Who Profits Research Center database and the UN OHCHR database of businesses involved in Israeli settlements (first issued 2020; updated 2023 and 2025) focus on settlement-linked activity; no public source reviewed lists Maserati S.p.A. or Stellantis N.V. in relation to technology provision.¹³ This absence reflects the available evidence base and is not a certification of non-involvement.

Commercial Presence in Israel - Importer

Maserati vehicles are sold in Israel through importer/distributor Samelet, which acquired full ownership of the Auto Italia (Ferrari–Maserati) import operation by 2019; Samelet is a major Israeli vehicle importer based in the Petah Tikva / Tel Aviv area.¹⁴ This is a standard commercial automotive-distribution arrangement, not a technology-services relationship with any Israeli state or security body, and does not constitute provision of surveillance, analytics, or dual-use capability. (Economic dimensions are assessed in Economic.)

Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions Campaigns

No public evidence identified of an organised BDS, boycott, divestment, or sanctions campaign specifically targeting Maserati S.p.A. in relation to technology provision to Israel. Maserati does not appear on the BDS Movement’s published consumer-boycott or priority-target lists reviewed.¹⁵

Regulatory & Legal Actions - Technology Sales to Israeli State Entities

No public evidence identified of any regulatory inquiry, export-control enforcement, sanctions investigation, or legal action involving Maserati technology sales, digital services, or data provision to Israeli state entities. The 2025 Stellantis third-party data breach is a data-protection matter in which Stellantis was the victim and has no Israeli-technology nexus.¹² No public evidence identified.
