What is TISAX?

TISAX is the information security assessment used across the automotive industry, based on the VDA Information Security Assessment catalogue. Suppliers are assessed by accredited audit providers at a defined assessment level, and results are shared with car makers and other partners through the ENX platform.

Who needs it

  • Suppliers and service providers to automotive manufacturers
  • Software and engineering firms handling automotive data or prototypes

What usually triggers it

  • An automotive customer requires a TISAX label before working with you

How the process works

  1. Register with ENX and define scope and assessment level
  2. Self-assessment against the VDA ISA catalogue
  3. Assessment by an accredited audit provider
  4. Share results with your customers through the platform

How Holam helps

We work out whether TISAX is what your customers actually need, and in what order alongside other frameworks. We then introduce you to a compliance platform and specialists that fit your stage, and stay involved until the result is in your hands. Holam receives a referral fee from providers we introduce when you engage them. You pay the provider directly, we add nothing to their price, and you remain free to choose another provider.

Frequently asked questions

Is TISAX only for German companies?
