TISAX trainings
TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is an assessment and exchange mechanism for the information security of enterprises and allows recognition of assessment results among the participants.
What is TISAX?
Information security is a crucially important issue for companies. Due to increasing connectivity and information exchange within the value chain it will continue to grow. The Information Security working group of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) has described the fundamental requirements for information security in the VDA ISA (Information Security Assessment) catalog that is used for security assessments within the automotive supply chain. TISAX is an assessment and exchange mechanism for the information security of enterprises and allows recognition of assessment results among the participants. If you want to process sensitive information from your customers or evaluate the information security of your own suppliers, TISAX supports you in reducing efforts.
Basis of the TISAX assessment is the VDA Information Security Assessment (ISA) questionnaire which is created and maintained by the VDA Information Security Committee. It can be downloaded from the VDA website in German or English.
