TISAX® Assessment
About TISAX

- Maintain visibility and increase opportunities for contracts
- Select suitable suppliers or service providers from a trusted platform
TISAX Assessment Levels
The ENX Association, as the operator of the TISAX® program, has defined the levels and scope of the assessments. TISAX® differentiates between three different protection classes and assessment levels according to which a company can be audited and which depend on the protection requirements of the information.-
Assessment Level 1
Standard suppliers need only to complete the ISA questionnaire and publish this self-assessment in TISAX.
After initial registration, companies wishing to join the TISAX® platform commission a testing service provider such as DEKRA to assess their information security. Assessment begins with a basic test on the topic of information security and offers further optional modules such as prototype protection, data protection, and connection to third parties. This eliminates special requirements in the extensive individual catalogs of major automobile manufacturers. A final report showing the achieved protection class can then be conveniently shared with selected companies requesting your TISAX® status. Certification is valid for a period of three years. -
Assessment Level 2
In cases of more complex suppliers, self-assessment will be followed by random plausibility checks by an approved audit provider over the phone.
