TISAX Webinar for Stellantis Suppliers (Focused on CSR)

TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) was developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). For the past five years, German OEMs have required TISAX certification from their suppliers. More recently, Stellantis and Paccar have begun extending these requirements to their own supply chains — a key focus of this webinar.

We’ll discuss what you need to know to meet Stellantis’ or Paccar’s expectations and help you determine the appropriate Assessment Level (AL2 or AL3) based on the products you supply. Core pillars such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability drive these requirements, with certification levels depending on the sensitivity and nature of the products you deliver.

Additionally, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, the latest version of the globally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), provides a robust framework for protecting critical data and assets. TISAX builds on this foundation with added emphasis on the unique security needs of the automotive industry, requiring defined process ownership, measurable metrics, and regular top management reporting.

As a result, an increasing number of automotive OEMs and Tier I/II suppliers rely on TISAX certification to ensure their intellectual property and sensitive information are properly safeguarded.
