Supporting TISAX Compliance in the Automotive Industry

The stability and economic resilience of the automotive industry rely fundamentally on the uninterrupted operation of CPS and the secure exchange of highly confidential information. As automotive manufacturers and suppliers undergo rapid digital transformation, integrating legacy operational technology (OT) with modern IT networks, they face an exponentially larger and more complex cyber-physical attack surface. This growing risk necessitates a robust, standardised regulatory framework.

To address this, the automotive industry relies upon TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange), a standard based on the Information Security Assessment (ISA) criteria catalogue, which establishes comprehensive cybersecurity requirements for participants managing vital systems and sensitive data. The TISAX framework mandates proactive security measures across multiple assessment objectives, from securing strictly confidential data to protecting prototype vehicles and ensuring very high availability of services. Achieving these stringent mandates is critical to safeguarding the industry’s operations and supply chain integrity
