HOW TISAX® CREATES TRUST

Personal data, research and development data – sensitive data that requires special protection. But who determines the parameters for when it is appropriate? Can this be standardized? And who recognizes it? TISAX® certification was introduced to ensure this, particularly in the automotive industry. Previously, suppliers and service providers had to carry out separate security assessments. This led to high costs and considerable effort. With TISAX® certification, this is no longer necessary. Find out everything you need to know about TISAX® certification and why hl-studios has opted for it.

TISAX® certification is an internationally recognized certification standard for information security in the automotive industry. It was created by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) to establish uniform security standards for companies in the automotive industry. TISAX stands for Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange. TISAX® certification involves a comprehensive assessment and audit of a company's IT infrastructure, processes and systems to ensure that they meet the highest security standards.

Obtaining TISAX® certification offers companies a variety of benefits. First of all, certification strengthens the trust of customers and business partners. Certification signals that a company is taking the necessary measures, including the explicit training of employees, to ensure security of information. This increases confidence in the reliability and confidentiality of data and facilitates cooperation with partners and customers. For both sides. 

TISAX® certification also helps minimize the risk of data leaks, cyberattacks and data breaches. By implementing a comprehensive information security system and complying with TISAX® requirements, companies can ensure that their sensitive information is adequately protected. This helps avoid reputational damage, legal consequences and financial losses that can be associated with security incidents.

TISAX® certification offers a number of benefits to companies in the automotive and other industries.
