TISAX, ISO 27001 and the ever increasing emphasis on the importance of Cybersecurity

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the internationally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). This update reflects the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats and the increasing demand for robust, risk-based approaches to information protection. In this webinar, we will provide a concise overview of the key changes introduced in the 2022 revision, including the updated Annex A controls, streamlined documentation requirements, and enhanced focus on organizational context and leadership. Attendees will gain essential insights into how ISO 27001 supports resilience, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement in managing information security risks.

TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) and ISO/IEC 27001 both aim to ensure effective information security management, but they serve different purposes within overlapping frameworks. While 27001 is a globally recognized standard for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an Information Security Management System (ISMS), TISAX is a sector-specific assessment and exchange mechanism tailored to the automotive industry’s unique requirements—originated in Europe, but now increasingly adopted globally. This webinar recording explores the synergies and distinctions between the two, highlighting how ISO 27001 can serve as a strong foundation for achieving TISAX compliance. Attendees will gain clarity on the mapping between their requirements, practical steps for aligning both frameworks, and strategies to streamline certification efforts.
