Digital Audit - Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc
Domain: Digital / Technology Entity scope: Aston Martin Lagonda (carmaker, HQ Gaydon). Major shareholders (Yew Tree/Stroll, Saudi PIF, Geely) and the Mercedes-Benz technology partnership are flagged as shareholder/technology-partner context, attributed accordingly. Vendor-domicile rule applied. (The Aston Martin Aramco F1 team is a separate operating entity, noted where its tech partners are relevant.) Compiled: 2026-06-21 Method: Live web search only
Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships
Aston Martin’s documented enterprise stack centres on US-domiciled vendors: Microsoft Azure (primary cloud), Microsoft Power BI, Salesforce (Sales Cloud 2021; Agentforce 2024), and PageUp ATS; it adopted Google Cloud (Cloud Run, with partner MHP) for its vehicle configurator, and has used Sitecore CMS.123 For in-vehicle infotainment, mainstream models historically received Mercedes-Benz-derived systems (COMAND, then a revised MBUX in the 2024 DBX707), but for 2025 Aston Martin debuted an in-house instrument cluster and infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, reducing the Mercedes dependency; Mercedes-Benz AG continues to supply powertrain and E/E architectures under a long-term technology agreement.456 Connected-car telematics and the Aston Martin App are operated by Aston Martin directly.7
Israeli-vendor assessment: No public evidence identified of any Israeli-domiciled vendor in Aston Martin’s enterprise or in-vehicle technology stack. (SentinelOne - see Defence/Security - is US-domiciled despite Israeli-born founders.)
Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology
No public evidence identified that Aston Martin has deployed facial-recognition, biometric-authentication, or AI-surveillance systems in its showrooms, dealerships, or online retail channels, from any vendor - Israeli-domiciled or otherwise.
Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation
Aston Martin’s documented cloud footprint is Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud (Cloud Run).12 The Aston Martin Aramco F1 team (a separate entity) announced CoreWeave (US-domiciled) as its Official AI Cloud Computing Partner in May 2025.8 No Israeli sovereign-cloud participation or Israeli data-residency arrangement was identified for Aston Martin Lagonda or its F1 team.
Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships
SentinelOne (US-domiciled). Aston Martin Lagonda selected SentinelOne’s Singularity XDR for enterprise endpoint security from 2018; the F1 team separately named SentinelOne its Official Cybersecurity Partner (2021, renewed 2024).91011 SentinelOne Inc. is incorporated and headquartered in Mountain View, California, and NYSE-listed; it was co-founded by Israeli nationals and maintains Israeli R&D offices, but its legal domicile is the United States, so under the vendor-domicile rule it is treated as a US-domiciled vendor.12 No public evidence identified of any relationship between Aston Martin Lagonda and Israeli-domiciled defence, intelligence, or security-sector technology firms (e.g. Check Point, Cybereason, Cellebrite, Paragon).
AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems
Aston Martin maintains an in-house ADAS / autonomous-driving software function.13 No public supply contract between Aston Martin and Mobileye (Israeli-domiciled, Jerusalem HQ) was identified; Mobileye was actively searched and no relationship was found.14 Mercedes-Benz, which supplies Aston Martin’s powertrain and E/E architectures, has publicly moved its software-defined-vehicle stack toward NVIDIA (US); no public evidence confirms Mobileye ADAS components flowing through the Mercedes supply chain into Aston Martin vehicles, and any such attribution would be speculative.15 Aston Martin’s June 2023 EV technology partnership is with Lucid Group (US-domiciled) for powertrain/battery/charging; no Israeli-technology component of that supply was identified.16 The F1 team’s disclosed AI partners (Arm, CoreWeave, Cognition, Cohere, Cognizant) are UK/US/Canadian-domiciled; no Israeli-domiciled AI vendor appears in that roster.17181920
Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint
Aston Martin’s principal R&D is at Gaydon and its Silverstone F1 campus; it participates in UK government-backed vehicle-technology programmes (e.g. the £5.8M PIVOT project with Sarginsons and Altair, US-domiciled).2122 No public evidence identified of Aston Martin holding investments in Israeli-domiciled technology startups, participating in Israeli accelerator/innovation programmes, or maintaining any R&D presence in Israel. The Israeli market is served by an independent authorised dealer (Autoart Group, Herzliya Pituach) under a standard franchise agreement - a distribution relationship with no technology-transfer or co-development dimension identified.23
Civil Society Scrutiny & Regulatory History
No public evidence identified of civil-society campaigns, NGO reports, or regulatory actions specifically targeting Aston Martin’s technology relationships with Israel; searches for BDS/Palestine-solidarity targeting returned only generic boycott-list context with no Aston Martin-specific digital-technology complaints.24 Aston Martin’s Connected Car privacy policy acknowledges GDPR and the UK ICO; no completed ICO or EU data-protection enforcement action against Aston Martin Lagonda was identified.25
