Get audit-ready for TISAX
TISAX (VDA ISA) · Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange
Information security standard for the automotive industry, based on VDA Information Security Assessment. Required for organizations handling sensitive automotive data and prototypes.
What is TISAX?
Information security standard for the automotive industry, based on VDA Information Security Assessment. Required for organizations handling sensitive automotive data and prototypes.
Who it applies to
Suppliers to the European automotive industry. Manufacturers require it before sharing prototype or otherwise sensitive information, so it functions as an entry ticket to the supply chain.
How the standard is organised
Assessment against the VDA ISA catalogue at an assessment level set by the information being handled. The outcome is a label shared with partners through the ENX exchange rather than a public certificate.
Framework names, marks and abbreviations (ISO, SOC 2, PCI DSS, TISAX, HIPAA, GDPR and others) are trademarks of their respective standards bodies and are used here only to describe what the Bitkosh Readiness Platform helps you track and prepare for.

Bitkosh Technologies is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ISO, AICPA, the PCI Security Standards Council, ENX/VDA, or any other framework owner, and using this platform does not by itself confer or guarantee certification — certification/attestation is granted only by the relevant accredited third-party body.
TISAX on the Bitkosh platform
The 53 TISAX controls sit in one workspace with gap assessment, evidence collection and your readiness score, and shared controls count towards the equivalent requirement in the other 47 ready frameworks at the same time — so a second framework costs a fraction of the first.
How the platform worksSample controls
Six controls from the platform's control library, chosen because they are the most specific to this framework.
- 8.1.4Photography and recording limits
Restrict photographing and recording of prototypes and test sites, and manage the use of personal devices nearby.
Prototype Protection - 3.1.3Delivery and loading areas
Isolate or supervise delivery and loading points so unauthorised persons cannot reach protected areas.
Physical Security - 8.1.2Prototype premises
Secure the locations where prototypes are kept or worked on with structural, access and surveillance measures.
Prototype Protection - 3.1.1Security zones
Define physical security zones according to the protection need of the assets inside and apply matching controls to each.
Physical Security - 4.1.2Authentication and secrets
Apply authentication methods and secret-handling rules suited to the sensitivity of the systems being accessed.
IAM - 7.1.4Compliance checking of systems
Check systems and processes against internal policies and technical standards and follow up on deviations.
