Complass
TISAX® for automotive suppliers and service providers
A framework agreement, a clause "TISAX label required" and a deadline before the start of production. What TISAX is about, which label you need and how to plan the road there.
Car manufacturers and their large suppliers require partners who receive confidential information, prototypes or personal data to hold a TISAX label. It is based on the VDA ISA questionnaire; an approved audit provider carries out the assessment, and the result is shared via the platform of the ENX Association.
The whitepaper explains labels and assessment levels, the maturity levels 0 to 5 in our own words, what you can reuse from an ISMS under ISO/IEC 27001, the road to the label in seven steps, prototype protection, common pitfalls, the changes brought by VDA ISA2027 and the TISAX framework in Complass – with a checklist. No VDA ISA text is reproduced.
