ISO/IEC 27001 and TISAX: Strengthening Automotive Information Security

ISO/IEC 27001 and TISAX: Strengthening Automotive Information Security

In the evolving automotive landscape, safeguarding sensitive data is paramount. ISO/IEC 27001 provides a robust framework for establishing an Information Security Management System (ISMS), while TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) offers a standardized assessment mechanism tailored for the automotive industry. Together, they ensure comprehensive information security compliance.

Why Implement both ISO/IEC 27001 and TISAX?

  • Meet OEM Requirements: Major manufacturers like PACCAR and Stellantis are mandating TISAX assessments, often requiring an Assessment Level 3 (AL3) label. Alternatively, an ISO/IEC 27001 certificate covering relevant products and services may be accepted.
  • Enhance Data Protection: Both standards emphasize protecting intellectual property, customer data, and connected vehicle technologies.
  • Gain Competitive Advantage: Achieving these certifications can be a prerequisite for engaging in new business opportunities within the automotive supply chain.
