Information security along the supply chain: TISAX at a glance

1

What is TISAX*?

TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is an assessment and exchange mechanism developed specifically for the automotive industry. It is based on the international information security standard ISO/IEC 27001 and addresses industry-specific requirements and best practices for information security. The German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) has established a dedicated assessment catalog (ISA – Information Security Assessment) to ensure standardized evaluations of information security among automotive manufacturers and suppliers. Compared to general standards, this catalog takes into account the specific requirements and risks of the automotive sector, making it particularly effective in this context.

Companies can share their TISAX assessment results with business partners, increasing transparency and trust across the supply chain. The exchange of assessment results between contractual partners is carried out via the portal of the European ENX Association. At the same time, TISAX helps the industry comply with regulatory requirements such as the EU NIS 2 Directive on network and information security.

Which industries and organizations is TISAX relevant for?

TISAX is of central importance for companies in the automotive industry. OEMs, suppliers (Tier 1 to Tier n), and development partners exchange sensitive data on a daily basis—from design plans to prototypes. TISAX establishes a uniform level of information security for these interactions and has become a prerequisite for collaboration with many manufacturers.

How is an ISMS in accordance with TISAX implemented?

An ISMS in line with TISAX is implemented using a structured and strategic approach. The starting point is a comprehensive risk assessment to identify threats and vulnerabilities and analyze their potential impact. Based on this assessment, company-specific security policies and measures are defined and documented. Training at all organizational levels, along with regular reviews and continuous improvement, ensures that information security is implemented effectively on a long-term basis and that the requirements for the TISAX assessment are met.

TISAX as a Competitive Advantage in the Automotive Industry

An effective Information Security Management System in accordance with TISAX not only strengthens your organization’s security posture but is often a prerequisite for doing business with OEMs and suppliers in the automotive industry. Participation in the TISAX assessment and exchange mechanism builds trust across the supply chain and facilitates access to new projects and development contracts. At the same time, a structured level of security reduces the risk of data breaches, production disruptions, or reputational damage — making it a decisive competitive factor in a highly interconnected industry.
