Common questions about TISAX certification requirements and our services.
TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is an automotive industry information security assessment framework developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). Any company in the automotive supply chain that handles sensitive information from automotive OEMs including prototype data, technical drawings, vehicle data, or customer information may be required to obtain TISAX certification. Major OEMs including Volkswagen Group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and others require TISAX certification from their suppliers.
TISAX has three assessment levels. Assessment Level 1 (AL1) is a self-assessment for lower-risk information. Assessment Level 2 (AL2) requires assessment by an ENX-accredited auditor and is the most common level required for standard supplier relationships. Assessment Level 3 (AL3) is required for the highest-sensitivity information such as prototype data and is assessed through a more rigorous on-site process. Your OEM customer will specify which assessment level you need.
TISAX certification typically takes 4-9 months depending on your current security maturity and the assessment level required. Organizations with existing ISO 27001 certification can typically achieve TISAX faster due to overlapping controls. Our gap assessment provides a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
ISO 27001 is a general information security management system standard applicable to any industry. TISAX is specifically designed for the automotive industry and includes requirements specific to automotive data such as prototype protection, connected vehicle data, and OEM information sharing. TISAX uses the VDA ISA checklist rather than ISO 27001 Annex A controls. Many organizations pursue both, and there is significant overlap in the underlying security controls required.
Yes. TISAX certification is recognized by automotive OEMs globally. The TISAX result is published in the ENX Association portal, which OEMs access to verify supplier compliance. Indian suppliers with TISAX certification can share their result with any OEM worldwide that participates in the TISAX framework, making it a universal credential for the global automotive supply chain.
