TISAX® – Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange for the Automotive Industry
TISAX® helps automotive partners manage information security, prototype protection, and data privacy in a consistent, trusted way. We support organisations in designing, implementing, auditing, and maintaining TISAX-aligned security practices that meet operational, customer, and regulatory requirements.
What is TISAX?
TISAX is the assessment framework used in the automotive industry to evaluate and demonstrate an organisation’s information security maturity. It provides a structured way to identify risks, apply the required controls, and show customers that security expectations are being met.
Organisations must align customer requirements, legal obligations, and operational needs with practical security measures. The TISAX Assessment Objectives define what must be implemented and why, guiding how controls address identified risks across the automotive supply chain.
