TISAX

The ENX Association supports with TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) on behalf of VDA the common acceptance of Information Security Assessments in the automotive industry. The TISAX Assessments are conducted by TISAX audit providers that demonstrate their qualification at regular intervals. TISAX and TISAX results are not intended for general public.
For VIRTUAL VEHICLE confidentiality, availability and integrity of information have great value. We have taken extensive measures on protection of sensitive and confidential information.
Therefore, we follow the question catalogue of information security of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA ISA). The Assessment was conducted by an audit provider.

 

The result is exclusively retrievable over the ENX Portal:
