TISAX®

TISAX® is a registered trademark of ENX Association.

The automotive industry is made up of a wide range of supply networks in which sensitive information is exchanged. We can help your company prepare for TISAX ® certification.

A security vulnerability on the part of suppliers could result in serious security breaches on the part of the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and loss of confidential information. To reduce this risk, OEMs strive for transparency and standardization in their supplier networks’ information security and the plan is to make TISAX® certification a mandatory condition for supplier contracts. Major multinational companies, such as Volkswagen, Porsche, BMW, Audi, Daimler and many others, have already signed up to the TISAX® model and will require it as a condition for taking part in tenders in 2018.
