What is TISAX?

tisaxlogo

DefinitionTISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is a certification framework specifically designed for the automotive industry. It was developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) to ensure that companies in the automotive supply chain meet high standards of information security.


TISAX compliance is not just a checkbox; it’s a prerequisite for doing business


Without it, local German automotive suppliers find themselves locked out of lucrative contracts and partnerships, unable to access the vast opportunities that the automotive industry offers.

TISAX Requirements
TISAX Diagram

TISAX requires companies to reach at least maturity level 3 in each of the seven mandatory categories mentioned above.

Maturity level 3 means that a standard process is consistently followed and integrated into the overall system. The relationships with other processes are documented, and suitable interfaces are created. There is clear evidence that this process has been used reliably and actively over a long time.

Each category has its own specific requirements:

1. IS Policies and Organization (Control Number 1.1 - 1.6.3)

2. Human Resources (Control Number 2.1.1 - 2.1.4)

3. Physical Security (Control Number 3.1.1 - 3.1.4)

4. Identity and Access Management (Control Number 4.1 - 4.2.1)

5. IT Security / Cyber Security - Covered by ForeNova (Control Number 5.1 - 5.3.4)

6. Supplier Relationships (Control Number 6.1.1 - 6.1.2)

7. Compliance (Control Number 7.1.1 - 7.1.2)

Why TISAX Compliance Matters 

OBJECTS

Major automotive manufacturers like BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, VW, Ford and others require their suppliers to demonstrate robust information security practices through TISAX certification.

Your potential clients view compliance as a non-negotiable standard, and without it, your business risks being overlooked in favor of competitors who have successfully navigated the compliance landscape.

The lack of TISAX compliance can severely limit your ability to engage with key players in the market, stifling growth and innovation.

The Challenge for local German Automotive Companies

TISAX compliance can feel overwhelming, especially for local German automotive companies that may lack the necessary in-house expertise and resources.

Limited Budget and Personnel

It’s a real struggle to implement the comprehensive security measures required by TISAX with limited budgets and personnel. 
Companies feel overwhelmed, risking both their compliance status and overall cybersecurity resilience.

70

Lack of Expertise

You may also lack the necessary expertise to respond effectively to security incidents or breaches, having a skilled team that understands the nuances of threat detection, incident response, and recovery is crucial.

24

Relying on Endpoint Protection

Relying solely on antivirus and firewall solutions is insufficient for TISAX compliance and your overall security, therefore you need comprehensive security measures and continuous monitoring to protect sensitive data and systems.
