TISAX assessment in Berlin at a glance

Berlin Partner highlights the capital's automotive network, from the BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen presence to test fields for connected and autonomous driving and a competence centre for intelligent mobility. Development partners, software houses, test firms and logistics providers working in that network receive confidential designs and data, and vehicle makers want evidence of how it is protected. TISAX, run by the ENX Association on the VDA information security assessment catalogue, is the industry mechanism. Listed audit providers assess a company, and the result is shared with named partners as a label on the ENX platform; it is an assessment, not a certificate. Sterling guides gap analysis, control implementation and audit preparation from its Frankfurt office, against the objectives and level the customer specifies.

Third parties meet the same barSuppliers and service providers handling customer information are held to the same protection requirements.
Personal data is protected where in scopeData protection requirements apply when you process personal data on behalf of customers and that objective is in scope.

TISAX in Berlin: questions clients ask

Which Berlin firms get asked for TISAX?

Partners that receive vehicle makers' prototype, design or other protected data, such as software, test and engineering firms and certain logistics providers. The customer specifies the assessment objectives and level, so ask for those in writing before booking an audit provider.

Does a TISAX label expire for a Berlin supplier?

Yes. A label is valid for a limited period set by the scheme and must be renewed through a new assessment, so plan for ongoing upkeep of the controls. Check the ENX documentation for the current validity and renewal rules, and consider timing against customer deadlines.
