In the automotive supply chain, information security is no longer something a supplier can decide for itself. OEMs share drawings, specifications and prototype data, and they want evidence that it is protected before they share anything. TISAX is how that evidence is standardised: one assessment, recognised across the industry, instead of a different security questionnaire from every customer.
This two-day instructor-led programme is designed for professionals in the automotive sector who have to implement the Trusted Information Security Assessment framework. Participants gain practical knowledge of the VDA ISA catalogue and learn how to meet the security requirements set by the ENX Association, the framework's official governance body. The course is built to help organisations strengthen their information security posture, comply with the TISAX requirements and prepare confidently for assessment by an accredited provider.
Course Objectives
A Common Question
An international standard for Information Security Management Systems, applicable to any organisation in any sector.
A specialised automotive assessment framework, based on information security requirements defined by the VDA and governed by the ENX Association.
What it means in practice: an ISO 27001 certificate does not satisfy an OEM asking for a TISAX label. The two overlap considerably in controls, which is why an organisation with a working ISMS has a shorter route to TISAX readiness, but they are not interchangeable.
Course Content
Taught through practice: the programme includes practical guidance, implementation exercises, self-assessment techniques and audit preparation activities rather than a walkthrough of the catalogue.
The Implementer's Job
The control catalogue read as requirements against your own operation, not as a checklist.
Who sets the rules, who may assess you and what the resulting label actually says.
An honest internal assessment, so the gaps are found before an assessor finds them.
Controls scored by maturity, which means evidence of practice rather than a policy document.
Registration, scope definition and the secure exchange of results with your customers.
Walking into the assessment knowing what will be asked and where the evidence sits.
Who Should Attend
Need orientation rather than implementation? We also run a one-day TISAX programme for teams who need to understand the framework and what it will ask of them before committing to an implementation project.
Course Details
After the instructor-led programme, participants sit a multiple-choice examination. Those scoring above the passing criteria are awarded the certificate.
Participants who pass the examination receive a certificate of Successful Completion for the TISAX Implementation Training Course.
Delivery: a two-day instructor-led programme available as a virtual session, a public classroom batch or an in-house delivery at your own site, which suits preparing an IT, quality and compliance group together ahead of an assessment.
