TISAX is the automotive industry's information security assessment standard, developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). Automotive suppliers, development partners, and service providers increasingly require TISAX certification from their partners as a condition of business. BetterWorld Technology guides organizations through the ENX assessment process to achieve and maintain TISAX labels.

TISAX Security Certification for Automotive

How We Deliver

Our TISAX - Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange Engagement Model

Every compliance engagement follows a structured methodology built around your environment, obligations, and timeline.

Scope Definition and Assessment Level

We determine your required TISAX assessment objectives and labels based on the sensitivity of the information you handle, including prototype protection and connected vehicle data if applicable.

ISA-Based Gap Assessment

We conduct a structured gap assessment using the VDA Information Security Assessment (ISA) catalog, identifying control gaps and building a remediation roadmap for your assessment level.

Remediation, Assessment, and Label Maintenance

We implement required controls, prepare you for the TISAX audit by an accredited assessment provider, and maintain your compliance program for subsequent assessment cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs TISAX certification?

Any organization that handles sensitive information from automotive OEM customers including development data, prototype information, and connected vehicle data may be required to achieve TISAX certification. Requirements are typically communicated through supply chain contracts.

What are TISAX assessment levels?

TISAX has three assessment levels of increasing rigor. Level 1 is self-assessment only. Level 2 involves remote assessment by an accredited provider. Level 3 requires on-site assessment for the highest sensitivity information.

How does TISAX differ from ISO 27001?

TISAX is based on ISO 27001 but adds automotive-industry-specific requirements for prototype protection and connected vehicle security. ISO 27001 certification does not automatically satisfy TISAX requirements, though significant control overlap exists.
