TISAX assessment in Munich at a glance

Automotive information security travels with the data. BMW, MAN and Siemens Mobility are headquartered in Munich according to munich business, and their development and purchasing teams share prototypes, designs and confidential specifications with engineering-service firms, software houses and logistics partners. TISAX, administered by the ENX Association, is the assessment and exchange mechanism through which such partners show an assessed level of information security, based on the VDA information security assessment catalogue. Results are shared as labels on the ENX platform rather than as a certificate. A Munich supplier typically learns which assessment objectives and level its customer requires, runs a gap analysis, closes the gaps and books an audit provider. Sterling guides that work from its Frankfurt office.

TISAX in Munich: questions clients ask

Who asks Munich suppliers for TISAX?

Vehicle makers and their tier-1 partners, through supplier requirements, whenever a supplier receives prototype, design or other protected information. The customer's instructions set the assessment objectives and the level required, so ask for them in writing before you engage an audit provider or begin any gap analysis.

Is TISAX a certificate a Munich firm can get from any auditor?

No. TISAX assessments are performed by audit providers listed by the ENX Association, and the results are shared with partners as labels on the ENX platform. It is an assessment, not a certificate from a certification body. Check the current provider list before engaging anyone.
