TISAX® is a cross-company testing and exchange procedure for information security in the automotive industry. It is about protecting data, its integrity and availability in the manufacturing process as well as in the operation of vehicles.
This is done via an information security management system (ISMS) analogous to the ISO 27001 standard, on the basis of which the VDA has developed the special ISA requirements and test catalogue for the automotive sector.
The effectiveness of an ISMS can be proven via assessments (tests) against the VDA-ISA. If the assessment is successful, e.g. by TÜV NORD, ENX* - the administrator of the TISAX® programme - issues a TISAX® label in its database. This is recognised and required by all VDA members and vehicle manufacturers such as Audi, Volkswagen or BMW.
