More about TISAX
What is TISAX?
TISAX is the automotive industry’s trusted assessment and exchange mechanism for information security. It is based on the VDA ISA catalogue and is commonly required by automotive customers and partners to demonstrate that sensitive information, prototypes, supplier data, and operational processes are handled securely.
Who we support?
Our TISAX readiness services are designed for organizations in or connected to the automotive supply chain, including suppliers, technology providers, manufacturers, engineering partners, logistics providers, and service organizations that need to demonstrate information security maturity to customers or business partners.

Our TISAX readiness approach
1. Scope and assessment objective clarification
A successful TISAX readiness project starts with the right scope. We help clarify relevant assessment objectives, locations, business processes, information types, customer expectations, existing certifications, and whether additional topics such as prototype protection are applicable.
2. VDA ISA-based gap analysis and self-assessment support
A clear understanding of the organization’s current state is essential before remediation activities begin. We assess existing policies, processes, technical controls and governance arrangements against the applicable VDA ISA requirements, identify gaps and areas for improvement, and support the preparation or validation of the TISAX self-assessment. The outcome is a realistic view of current maturity and a prioritised foundation for the readiness programme.
3. Remediation roadmap and implementation planning
Following the gap assessment, we help translate findings into a structured remediation programme. Together with relevant stakeholders, we define priorities, responsibilities, timelines and dependencies, ensuring that improvement activities are aligned with business objectives, available resources and assessment requirements. This provides a practical roadmap for achieving TISAX readiness in a controlled and measurable manner.
4. Documentation, control design and evidence preparation
TISAX readiness requires more than documented policies. We support the development or enhancement of the required governance framework, operational procedures and control documentation, while ensuring that appropriate evidence can be generated and maintained during daily operations. Our objective is to establish controls that are not only compliant on paper, but demonstrably effective and sustainable in practice.
5. Readiness review and external assessment preparation
Before the formal assessment, we perform a readiness review to evaluate the effectiveness of implemented controls, verify the availability and quality of supporting evidence, and identify any remaining risks or deficiencies. We help organisations address outstanding findings, strengthen their assessment posture and prepare confidently for interactions with the selected assessment provider and the external TISAX assessment process.
