MORE INFORMATION SECURITY FOR SUPPLIERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Over the past few years, the automotive industry has increasingly recognized the critical importance of evaluating and mitigating risks in the realms of Information Security and Cyber Security, especially as they pertain to industrial processes. As digitalization progresses, the expectations for data protection and information security are simultaneously rising. Companies that collaborate with automotive industry partners as suppliers or service providers are required to meet specific information security standards for the industry and must regularly demonstrate compliance with these requirements.

WHAT IS THE TISAX® STANDARD?

Building upon the internationally recognized standard ISO/IEC 27001, the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), with the assistance of the ENX Association, has developed a set of requirements known as TISAX®. This framework is specifically designed to address the unique value chain of the automotive sector. By undergoing a TISAX® assessment, companies can demonstrate their adherence to the stringent, industry-specific information security standards, thereby ensuring a consistent level of mutual security for sensitive data across the industry.

The TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) standard outlines the criteria for suppliers and service providers within the automotive industry and aids companies in:

  • Continuously enhancing their Information Security Management System (ISMS)
  • Saving time and reducing costs through standardization, eliminating the need for repetitive and time-consuming audits
  • Gaining industry-wide acknowledgment and recognition
  • Fulfilling customer expectations and enhancing market access
  • Reinforcing trust in existing business relationships
