TISAX
TISAX stands for Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange and is an assessment and information exchange mechanism for information security. Organisations can have their information security assessed against standardised requirements and share the results specifically with business partners within the TISAX network.
The assessment is based on the VDA Information Security Assessment (ISA) catalogue. TISAX is particularly relevant in the automotive industry when companies exchange confidential or sensitive information with customers and business partners.
MN Kaltformteile has successfully completed a TISAX assessment and thus meets the requirements specified for the assessed scope and the corresponding assessment objectives.
TISAX in the automotive industry
In the automotive supply chain, it is not only components that are exchanged, but also sensitive information. This may include, for example, technical drawings, specifications, development data, cost calculation information or other confidential customer information.
TISAX provides a uniform framework for assessing the handling of such information and the information security measures established for this purpose. This is based on the VDA-ISA catalogue, which defines requirements for various areas of information security.
For suppliers, therefore, information security means far more than simply protecting their own IT systems. It also concerns the organisational and physical handling of confidential information – from access and authorisation policies, through the handling of documents and data, to protection against unauthorised access.
TISAX enables companies to demonstrate and share the results of an assessment within the TISAX network with specific business partners.
