FAQ ABOUT TISAX®

All information about certification according to TISAX®.

TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is an information security assessment standard developed by the automotive industry and based on ISO/IEC 27001. It was initiated by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) to enable a uniform safety assessment along the supply chain. At e.lective, we support companies in understanding and successfully implementing the requirements of TISAX®. Achieving certification according to TISAX® is not only relevant for automotive manufacturers, but also for suppliers, service providers and all other partners who have access to sensitive data, such as prototypes, development projects or personal data.

To obtain TISAX® certification, companies in the automotive industry that work with confidential information must go through certain steps. The process first includes registration, followed by self-assessment, selection of a testing service provider, conducting the audit and finally receiving the TISAX® label, which is valid for three years. At e.lective, we offer comprehensive support:

  • Registration: We support you as early as the registration on the ENX platform, which is a prerequisite for the certification process.
  • Self: Our experts will guide you through an internal self-assessment to determine your current security posture and identify vulnerabilities.
  • Choosing a testing service provider: We advise you on the choice of an accredited testing service provider to carry out the audit.
  • Audit: We prepare you for the audit, which is carried out by the selected testing service provider. This includes auditing your information security measures.
  • Receipt of the TISAX® label: After successful completion of the audit, you will receive the label, which in turn is valid for three years.

With our support, you can ensure that the entire certification process runs smoothly and efficiently.

Even as a micro-enterprise, you are obliged to meet the same requirements and standards for successful certification according to TISAX®. This applies regardless of whether you are a supplier, service provider or other partner of the automotive industry. We understand that the cost of TISAX® certification can be challenging, especially for micro-enterprises. Therefore, we offer special conditions for micro-enterprises. In addition, e.lective enables flexible modular solutions, so you can choose exactly the support that suits your needs.

The test is carried out by independent, accredited testing service providers authorised by the ENX Association. At e.lective, we are therefore at your side to select the best testing service provider for your specific requirements. In this way, we ensure that you receive the best possible support and that the certification process runs smoothly.

The duration of the preparation depends on both the size of the company and the current state of information security. Depending on the situation, the preparation can take several months. At e.lective, we help you to make the process both efficient and structured so that a smooth certification is achieved.

The cost of TISAX® certification varies depending on the size of the company, the complexity and the scope of the audit. As a rule, the costs range from a few thousand to several tens of thousands of euros. At e.lective, we offer flexible modular solutions so that you can choose exactly the support you need. Whether you just want one-off support at individual steps of the process or the full program from preparation to successful certification, we offer tailor-made solutions that fit both your requirements and your budget.

ISO/IEC 27001 forms the essential basis for certification according to TISAX®, as many of the requirements from TISAX® are based on the ISO 27001 standards. Companies with an existing ISO 27001 certification therefore benefit from simplified adaptation to TISAX®. At e.lective, we help you to better understand the connection between ISO 27001 and TISAX® certification and to implement the necessary measures in a targeted manner to meet both standards.
