TISAX

IT Compliance

TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is a standard developed specifically for the automotive industry, focusing on the security of information exchanged between partners. Its primary goal is to ensure a consistent level of security when transferring sensitive data between companies operating within the automotive sector.

In this industry, which frequently works on innovative projects, security is crucial in complex supply chains and technological collaborations. TISAX protects data related to the design, production, and collaboration between car manufacturers and suppliers, safeguarding sensitive information such as prototype designs. Unlike ISO 27001, which is a more general standard, TISAX addresses the specific needs of the automotive industry, helping companies manage risks effectively and build trust with partners and clients worldwide. If your business operates in the automotive sector or provides services to this industry, TISAX is essential for you, and if you don’t yet hold a certificate, it’s likely that you will be required to do so soon.

TISAX CERTIFICATION

The TISAX certification process begins with assessing your organisation’s readiness to meet the standard’s requirements, determining the necessary criteria (known as the TISAX labels) and the current level of information security. After this evaluation, a full certification audit is carried out, and once all the required standards are met, the TISAX certificate is granted, valid for three years. During this three-year period, regular supervisory audits are necessary to ensure that information security systems and processes remain in compliance with TISAX requirements. These audits act as a monitoring mechanism, helping maintain the high level of security. An essential element of the TISAX certification process is also implementing improvements that allow for continuous enhancement of security systems based on audit findings and necessary corrective actions. After three years, the organisation must undergo a re-certification assessment to renew the certificate, ensuring it continues to meet the highest security standards, further strengthening the trust of clients and business partners.

How can we help you ?

If you are applying for a TISAX certificate and are unsure where to start, we can assist you at every stage of the process. Firstly, we will determine the scope of your certification, conduct a gap analysis, and prepare an action plan. Then, we will organise training and implement the required changes. Finally, we will support you in selecting a certification body and accompany you throughout the entire certification process until you receive your TISAX certificate. If you already have TISAX certification but are unsure whether it meets your expectations, we offer comprehensive support in maintaining compliance. We will analyse your current scope, assess how compliance with the standard is being maintained, and identify potential roadblocks to your business. We will help streamline your operations to ensure that TISAX does not become an obstacle to your business activities.

How Will We Work With You?

Stage 1

Defining the
Certification Scope

Every certification process begins by defining the scope of certification, including the so-called "assessment objectives", which are requirements set by your automotive industry partners. The scope of certification typically includes specific services, company departments, or locations, and at this stage, we will also register your organisation in the ENX system.

Stage 2

Assessing the
Current Situation

Whether you are applying for TISAX certification for the first time or already hold a certificate, we will conduct a thorough assessment of your current situation. We will examine the systems and processes you have in place, identify what is functioning well, and highlight any areas of difficulty. This phase allows us to better understand your organisation, discover how you truly operate, and identify opportunities for improvement and continuous improvement actions.

Stage 3

Developing
an Action Plan

Based on our analysis, the scope of certification, and the current state of your organisation, we will develop a tailored action plan. These actions will be adapted to your organisation's specific needs and challenges. While we will leverage our extensive experience, the solutions we propose will be unique and precisely aligned with your environment.

Stage 4

Implementation
Assistance

If you do not want to handle well-known problems on your own, or if you lack the time for ongoing improvements or maintenance, let our specialists take care of it for you. We will help you eliminate security gaps from start to finish. We will develop new processes, implement improvements, prepare documentation, and train your team. While you can certainly handle this yourself, wouldn’t it be easier, faster, and more cost-effective to entrust these matters to professionals who will solve them for you?

Stage 5

Internal
Audit

We will conduct an internal audit within your organisation, in line with TISAX requirements, and prepare a report showing your level of compliance and areas needing improvement. You can treat this audit as a verification of your current information security status before the certification audit. We perform internal audits to assess the implementation of systems and readiness for certification. They help identify areas for improvement and eliminate potential non-compliance issues.

Stage 6

Selecting
a Certification Body

We will assist you in selecting and collaborating with the right certification body. Thanks to our experience as auditors, we understand how certifying organisations work. We partner with leading service providers holding international accreditations, ensuring the highest standard of service.

Stage 7

Support During
Certification

We will be with you at every stage of the TISAX certification process. First, we will prepare you for certification by organising internal training and gathering initial evidence, such as policies and procedures. Then, we will establish a meeting schedule, organise the necessary personnel from your organisation, and collect all required audit evidence. We will be present at every meeting with the auditor, providing support so you do not feel isolated in the process. At the end, by working closely with the certifying organisation, we will ensure all required evidence is gathered promptly, speeding up the certification process. Think of us as your advocates in your relationship with the certifying body.

Stage 8

Continuous
Support

Information security is an ongoing process. After obtaining TISAX certification, you will need to allocate time and resources to maintain compliance and security. You can do this in-house with your own resources or delegate it to us. We will take care of it for you, working on your behalf as if we were part of your organisation.
