TISAX® Assessment & Consulting for Automotive Suppliers in the Americas
In today’s highly connected automotive supply chains, business continuity and information security are no longer optional. Organizations that handle sensitive development data, prototypes, or customer information are increasingly expected to demonstrate structured and verifiable security practices.
One established way to meet these expectations is through a TISAX® assessment. While TISAX® is not a certification in the traditional ISO sense, a successful assessment confirms that an organization meets defined information security requirements recognized across the automotive industry. During this process, an independent TISAX® auditor evaluates your information security management, technical controls, and operational practices against the VDA ISA catalog.
Achieving a TISAX® label signals to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers that your organization takes data protection, intellectual property security, and operational resilience seriously. This transparency reduces the need for repeated customer audits, strengthens trust across partnerships, and supports long-term business continuity in competitive automotive programs.
About TISAX® USA
TISAX® USA serves as a dedicated resource for organizations in the Americas seeking to understand and navigate the TISAX® assessment process, with a strong focus on business continuity for automotive and mobility supply chains. North American suppliers, service providers, and technology partners increasingly face TISAX® requirements as a prerequisite for working with European OEMs and Tier 1 customers, particularly those headquartered in Germany.
TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is a standardized assessment and exchange mechanism developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and operated by the ENX Association. It addresses information security, data protection, and prototype protection requirements specific to the automotive sector, ensuring consistent security expectations across global development and production environments.
As cybersecurity expectations rise and supply chains become more digital and interconnected, TISAX® has effectively become a gatekeeper for companies working with brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and the Volkswagen Group. For organizations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, navigating VDA-based requirements can be challenging without prior exposure to European automotive frameworks.
TISAX® USA helps bridge this gap by providing educational content, readiness insights, and practical guidance tailored to organizations operating in the Americas. Whether you are a U.S. manufacturer, a Canadian cloud or software provider, or a Mexican engineering firm, our goal is to help you understand expectations, assess preparedness, and engage with the TISAX® ecosystem efficiently and confidently.
Why TISAX® matters now:
Many European automakers require a valid TISAX® label to award or renew contracts
It demonstrates organizational maturity in protecting sensitive information and intellectual property
It enables trusted collaboration across digital development environments and supply chains
As TISAX® adoption continues to expand beyond Europe, TISAX® USA exists to help organizations in the Americas remain competitive, informed, and connected.
