TISAX
TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is the automotive industry’s gold standard for information security. Developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and managed by the ENX Association, TISAX ensures that companies meet rigorous, standardized security requirements—especially when handling sensitive data such as prototypes, customer information, or confidential intellectual property.
At its core, TISAX is based on ISO/IEC 27001, the global benchmark for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), but goes further by incorporating industry-specific requirements like:
- Strict confidentiality of development data
- High availability expectations for connected systems
- Protection of prototype and production materials
TISAX enables secure collaboration across OEMs, suppliers, tech partners, and service providers.
TISAX uses a system of labels to indicate the specific security assessment objectives a company has achieved. Each label is aligned with concrete protection needs and defined by the VDA ISA (Information Security Assessment) catalog.
Common TISAX labels include:
- Information Security – High/Very High Availability, (Strictly) Confidential
- Prototype Protection – Proto parts / vehicles / test vehicles / Proto events
- Data Protection in accordance with GDPR – Basic / High
If your company wants to work with major automakers, TISAX certification is often a mandatory requirement. It signals that:
- Your information security meets recognized automotive standards
- You’ve undergone a rigorous independent audit
- Your security posture is continuously maintained and shared transparently via the ENX platform

- Implementation of TISAX-compliant policies and controls
- Audit preparation and support for
