TISAX@ (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) for strengthening Cybersecurity in the Automotive Sector


The automotive industry has one of the most complex supply chains in the world. Manufacturers and customers demand robust, resilient, secure and consistent cybersecurity when data is transferred or exchanged throughout the entire value chain –not only during prototype development. Providing reliable proof of data security has become a prerequisite for participation in the automotive supply chain. TISAX® labeling (called Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) and assessments allow companies to credibly document compliance with relevant cybersecurity requirements.
Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX) is a common assessment and exchange mechanism in the automotive industry and beyond. It is an inter-company test and exchange mechanism based on the VDA (German Automotive Industry Association) Information Security Assessment (ISA). TISAX @ has been developed under the guidance of the VDA to ensure a unified level of information security. TISAX brings standardization, quality assurance and mutual recognition of audits.
TISAX @ provides for information security or cybersecurity assessments by audit providers in accordance with VDA standards and helps avoid redundant audits.

This comprehensive presentation provides:
1) Overview of the current status of Cybersecurity in Automotive sector and its supply chain.
2) Overview of Cybersecurity threats to the Automotive sector
3) Introduction to TISAX @ and its applicability to Automotive supply chain
4) Key requirements for implementing TISAX @
5) TISAX @ and ISO 27001
