TISAX
TISAX is how automotive suppliers prove their information security to manufacturers and other partners without repeating the same audit for each one. The assessment runs against the VDA-ISA catalogue and results in a label you share through the ENX exchange. turingsecure holds the controls and evidence the catalogue asks for and keeps them ready for the assessor.
What the Standard Requires
One Assessment, Recognised Across the Supply Chain
TISAX is based on the VDA-ISA catalogue, the German automotive industry's information security questionnaire. You assess your organisation against its control questions and reach one of two assessment levels: AL2, verified mainly through a documentation review and a remote interview, and AL3, which adds an on-site audit for higher protection needs.
The catalogue is split into modules. The information security module is the core, prototype protection covers the physical and logical handling of confidential development parts, and data protection maps GDPR-relevant requirements. You are assessed only against the modules your partners require.
How TISAX Works
From Self-Assessment to Shared Label
- VDA-ISA Self-Assessment
Answer the catalogue's control questions and set a maturity level for each one. turingsecure maps those questions to controls you maintain once.
- Assessment Level AL2 or AL3
Reach AL2 through a documentation review or AL3 with an on-site audit, depending on the protection needs your partners set.
- Assessment Modules
Cover information security, prototype protection and data protection. Evidence stays linked to the module and control it belongs to.
- ENX Exchange and Label
A passed assessment produces a TISAX label. Through the ENX exchange, partners see your result without running their own audit.

The Modules That Carry TISAX
TISAX draws on the same connected model as the rest of your compliance work.
- Frameworks
Adopt the VDA-ISA catalogue as a framework and map its controls alongside ISO 27001 and any other standard you hold.
- Controls
A control library with applicability, ownership and implementation status answers the catalogue questions from one source.
- Evidence
Attach the artifacts the assessor asks for to each control and keep them current with expiry reminders.
- Audits
Plan the AL2 or AL3 assessment and track findings to corrective action and closure before the label is issued.
