FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TISAX®?

TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is an information security assessment framework developed by ENX Association based on the VDA ISA (Information Security Assessment) catalogue. It is the reference framework used across the automotive supply chain to assess and demonstrate the adequacy of an organization's information security measures.

Who needs TISAX®?

TISAX® recognition is primarily required for suppliers, technology partners, and organizations that work with automotive manufacturers or handle confidential information within the automotive supply chain.

Is TISAX® a certification?

No. TISAX® is an information security assessment framework, not a certification. Assessments are performed exclusively by ENX Association-approved assessment providers, while companies such as Argo Cyber support organizations in preparing for the assessment process.

What is the difference between ISO/IEC 27001 and TISAX®?

ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), whereas TISAX® is an assessment framework specifically developed for the automotive industry. Organizations already certified to ISO/IEC 27001 often have a solid foundation that facilitates their journey toward TISAX® compliance.

How long does it take to achieve TISAX® readiness?

The time required depends on the size of the organization, the maturity of its information security management practices, and the applicable assessment requirements. An initial Gap Analysis helps define the project timeline, priorities, and the activities required.

What are the benefits of TISAX® consulting?

Specialist consulting helps organizations identify gaps at an early stage, plan remediation activities, optimize internal resources, and approach the assessment with compliant processes and complete supporting documentation.

Does Argo Cyber issue TISAX® recognition?

No. Argo Cyber provides TISAX® readiness, advisory, and implementation support services. TISAX® recognition can only be granted by ENX Association-approved assessment providers.

What security measures does Argo implement to support TISAX® compliance?

The TISAX® framework requires organizations to implement technical, organizational, and procedural controls. The specific measures depend on the required Assessment Level (AL1, AL2, or AL3) and the organization's business activities and risk profile.

Key areas of implementation include:

Information Security Management;
access management;
network and infrastructure security;
information classification and protection;
information asset management;
supplier security management;
physical security;
business continuity;
incident management;
vulnerability management;
security awareness and employee training.

The implementation roadmap is defined based on the initial Gap Analysis and the requirements applicable to the organization, ensuring an efficient and structured approach to achieving TISAX® readiness in accordance with the VDA ISA framework.
