If you’re an automotive supplier or service provider, TISAX compliance has become a prerequisite for doing business with any major German automobile company. TISAX is only a few years old, and many organizations are still searching for the right approach to it.
What is TISAX and Why Does It Matter?
The Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX) provides a framework for data security verification within the German automotive industry. TISAX was introduced in 2017 and has become the standard process for demonstrating that organizations have implemented appropriate data security.
Through TISAX, companies undergo third-party assessments of their data security systems and processes and share their assessment results with customers and partners. TISAX assessments are based on requirements defined in the VDA ISA (Verband der Automobilindustrie Information Security Assessment), which itself is based on ISO 27001 standards.
TISAX assessments cover high-level corporate governance and risk management topics, as well as technical details related to data classification, encryption, and reporting. Companies that are unable to demonstrate their compliance will find it difficult or impossible to compete in the German automotive market.
