TISAX Compliance

The Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX) is a standardized assessment and exchange mechanism for information security in the automotive industry. It was established by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) to ensure a uniform level of information security across the automotive supply chain. Key components of TISAX compliance include.

Information Security Management System (ISMS)

Organizations must implement an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that complies with defined security levels. This system should be based on the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, ensuring effective information security management.

Assessment Levels

TISAX assessments are conducted at three levels, depending on the complexity and sensitivity of the information handled:

Level 1: Standard suppliers complete a self-assessment using the Information Security Assessment (ISA) questionnaire and publish the results on the TISAX platform.
Level 2: More complex suppliers undergo random plausibility checks by an approved audit provider over the phone, following their self-assessment. -- Level 3: Suppliers handling highly sensitive data undergo an on-site inspection by an approved audit provider based on their self-assessment.

Assessment Process

The TISAX assessment process involves two main phases.

Preparation: Organizations identify the requirements they face and map them against their implemented ISMS. If an ISMS is not yet in place, organizations may implement one according to ISO/IEC 27001 standards.
Assessment: Organizations register on the TISAX platform and commission a service provider to assess their information security. The assessment includes a basic test on information security and optional modules such as prototype protection and data protection.
