The power of the TISAX® label: How Syngenity® GmbH guides you through the process
The importance of information security and data protection is constantly increasing, especially in highly regulated industries such as the automotive industry. In this context, the TISAX® label is becoming increasingly important. But what exactly is behind this certification and why should companies in the automotive industry strive for it? In this blog post, you will learn how the TISAX® label works, why it is important and how Syngenity® GmbH can support you in mastering the process quickly and efficiently.
What is the TISAX® label?
TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is a standardized assessment procedure for information security that was developed specifically for the requirements of the automotive industry. TISAX® is designed to ensure that companies operating in the automotive industry implement robust information security measures and meet the high requirements of data protection. This applies not only to the car manufacturers themselves, but also to their suppliers and service providers, who are increasingly working with sensitive data. Especially when sharing design data, developing new technologies or collaborating with external partners, it is crucial that information security is guaranteed. Why is TISAX® so important for the automotive industry? The automotive industry faces major challenges when it comes to protecting data. With the advent of new technologies such as autonomous driving and the increasing connectivity of vehicles, the amount of sensitive information that needs to be managed securely is growing. Here are some of the key reasons why the TISAX® label is essential for companies in the automotive industry:
- Ensuring information security: Protecting sensitive data is a top priority. TISAX® certification enables companies to prove that they have implemented comprehensive security measures to protect their information from unauthorized access, loss or misuse.
- Strengthening the trust of partners: Companies that are TISAX® certified show their partners that they comply with the highest information security standards. This creates trust in business relationships and can be the decisive factor when choosing suppliers and service providers.
- Uniform standards: TISAX® offers a uniform standard for information security throughout the automotive industry. This facilitates cooperation between companies and ensures that all players involved operate at the same level of security.
- Meet legal requirements: Companies in the automotive industry are subject to strict data protection laws and regulations. TISAX® helps to meet these requirements and protect against possible legal consequences in the event of a breach.
TISAX® – Assessment: What you can expect
The path to the TISAX® label may seem complex at first glance, but with the right support, the process can be carried out in a structured and efficient manner. The TISAX® assessment is divided into several phases:
- Preparation and risk assessment: First of all, companies must carry out a thorough analysis of their existing information security measures. This involves checking in which areas risks exist and which measures are required to minimize these risks.
- Implementation of security measures: Appropriate security measures are implemented based on the risk assessment. This can include technical controls such as firewalls and encryption, but also organizational measures such as employee training and the definition of clear responsibilities.
- Carrying out internal audits: Before the external auditor comes into play, it is advisable to carry out internal audits. These help to identify weaknesses and ensure that the company is well prepared for the formal assessment.
- External assessment by an auditor: In the next step, the company is assessed by an accredited auditor. The auditor checks whether all the requirements of the TISAX® guidelines have been met and prepares a corresponding report.
- Certification and follow-up: Once the company has successfully completed the assessment, it receives the TISAX® certification. This must be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that the information security measures are continuously improved.
