Outsight Secures TISAX Certification

Outsight Secures TISAX Certification

We are thrilled to announce that we have successfully obtained the TISAX Certification, which serves as a testament to our dedication to the highest standards of information security.

This achievement marks an important step in our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of information security, especially within the automotive sector, where data protection is critical.

What is TISAX?

In the competitive world of automobile manufacturing, automakers are continuously innovating to stay ahead. The creation of a single car model requires collaboration across a wide supply chain that includes numerous vendors.

With such extensive collaboration, manufacturers require assurance that their partners will protect sensitive information, such as intellectual designs and breakthrough technology. While some businesses perform individual audits of their suppliers to ensure data security, this procedure is resource demanding and not always possible.

In 2017, the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and Audi, Daimler, and Volkswagen launched TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) to solve this issue.

TISAX functions as an information security assessment and sharing framework. It is based on the well-known ISO 27001 information security standard, but it incorporates extra security standards suited exclusively to the automobile industry.

This certification is an essential component of our Roadside Automated Driving solution:

The TISAX Framework

The TISAX structure requires a more comprehensive and tailored approach to information security compared to broader standards like ISO 27001.

The TISAX certificate varies from company to company. The scope and level of maturity assessed in TISAX are based on an organization’s chosen assessment parameters.

TISAX's structure is outlined in the VDA ISA catalog, which divides the requirements into three core modules. These modules feature mandatory ("must") and recommended ("should") requirements, with additional levels for organizations that need "high" or "very high" protection measures. As companies progress from basic to advanced levels of protection, the security demands become more rigorous.

The TISAX Framework

Once an organisation has determined which TISAX module is applicable to them, they can select the target Assessment Level, that matches their intended security capacity or the expectations of their business partners.

Our Path to TISAX with TÜV and VioletX

We worked closely with TÜV, a trusted external auditor, and collaborated with VioletX to prepare for the audit process for the automotive industry.
