Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX)

TISAX Certification: Ensuring Information Security Excellence

https://www.omnex.com/tisax

The implementation of the Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX) has become increasingly important for automotive suppliers. It started with VDA (the German Automakers union)and the German OEMs a few years ago, but has now moved to North America and other parts of the world with major manufacturers, such as PACCAR and Stellantis, requiring TISAX assessments to ensure strong information security practices across their supply chains.

PACCAR, for example, mandates that suppliers obtain a TISAX (AL3) label, particularly for those whose operations directly impact production continuity. Alternatively, an ISO 27001 certificate covering the relevant products and services may also be accepted. These cybersecurity requirements are being phased in with PACCAR directly communicating specific deadlines to its suppliers ***(Paccar Inc.)***.

Meanwhile, Stellantis is currently working on consolidating its requirements and plans to release unified Customer Specific Requirements (CSRs) in early 2025. Suppliers are encouraged to proactively align with TISAX standards in anticipation of these new expectations ***(IATF Global Oversight)***.

Given these industry developments, it is critical for suppliers to begin the TISAX assessment process as soon as possible to meet OEM expectations. For organizations seeking guidance on achieving TISAX certification, Omnex offers specialized support to help navigate these essential requirements.
