TISAX training

Lesson 1 • Origins and Purpose of TISAX

Covers the history of TISAX, its creation by the automotive industry association, and the business problem it solves. Connects industry context to the need for a unified assessment standard.

Lesson 2 • TISAX Labels and Assessment Objectives

Introduces the three main TISAX label categories and their scope. Learners map label types to specific business scenarios and data sensitivity levels.

Lesson 3 • TISAX vs. Other Security Standards

Compares TISAX to ISO/IEC 27001 and other frameworks to clarify overlaps and unique requirements. Helps learners avoid redundant compliance efforts.

Lesson 1 • Registering an Assessment in the TISAX Portal

Walks through the ENX TISAX portal registration process step by step. Learners complete a simulated registration to build practical familiarity.

Lesson 2 • Protection Needs and Data Classification

Introduces protection need categories and how they drive label selection. Learners apply classification criteria to real data types handled by their organization.

Lesson 3 • Understanding the Three Assessment Levels

Details AL1, AL2, and AL3 requirements, triggers, and audit depth. Learners distinguish when each level applies based on data sensitivity and OEM requirements.

Lesson 1 • Core Information Security Controls

Covers compulsory controls in asset management, access control, and incident response. Learners assess current organizational practices against each control.

Lesson 2 • Prototype and Physical Security Controls

Addresses controls specific to prototype protection, including physical access and media handling. Learners identify gaps in physical security relevant to the prototype label.

Lesson 3 • Data Protection Controls in the ISA

Examines controls tied to personal data processing within the TISAX data protection label. Learners connect data protection obligations to specific ISA control items.

Lesson 4 • Maturity Levels and Scoring Logic

Explains the five-level maturity model used to score each control. Learners calculate maturity scores and identify the minimum level required for each assessment objective.

Lesson 1 • Readiness Review and Internal Audit

Guides learners through a mock internal audit to validate readiness before the formal assessment. Findings feed directly into final remediation actions.

Lesson 2 • Conducting a Pre-Audit Gap Analysis

Teaches a structured method for comparing current controls to ISA requirements. Learners use a gap analysis template to document findings systematically.

Lesson 3 • Evidence Collection and Documentation

Explains what constitutes valid evidence for each control type. Learners build an evidence repository structured to support auditor review.

Lesson 1 • Handling Findings and Corrective Actions

Teaches how to interpret audit findings, classify deviations, and submit corrective action plans. Learners draft a corrective action response for sample findings.

Lesson 2 • On-Site Audit Execution

Explains what auditors examine during on-site visits, including interviews, walkthroughs, and evidence review. Learners practice responding to auditor questions accurately.

Lesson 3 • The Assessment Kick-Off and Planning Phase

Details the kick-off meeting agenda, document submission requirements, and audit schedule. Learners prepare a complete audit package for the opening meeting.

Lesson 4 • Result Publication and Label Sharing

Explains how TISAX results are published in the ENX portal and shared with requesting OEMs. Learners configure sharing permissions and understand result validity periods.

Lesson 1 • Policy and Procedure Development

Covers the minimum policy set required by the ISA and how to write enforceable procedures. Learners draft a sample policy using a TISAX-aligned template.

Lesson 2 • Continuous Monitoring and Improvement

Introduces KPIs, internal audits, and management reviews to sustain ISMS effectiveness. Learners design a monitoring calendar that supports TISAX renewal cycles.

Lesson 3 • Risk Assessment and Treatment

Applies a structured risk assessment process to identify and treat information security risks. Learners produce a risk register aligned to TISAX control domains.

Lesson 1 • Mapping the Supplier Security Landscape

Teaches how to identify which suppliers handle in-scope data and what obligations apply. Learners build a supplier inventory with associated TISAX relevance ratings.

Lesson 2 • Supplier Assessment and Monitoring

Explains how to assess supplier security posture through questionnaires, audits, and TISAX result verification. Learners design a supplier assessment workflow.

Lesson 3 • Managing Subcontractor Chains

Addresses the complexity of multi-tier subcontracting and how to maintain visibility of security controls. Learners apply flow-down requirements to a sample supply chain scenario.

Lesson 1 • Advancing Maturity Beyond Minimum Thresholds

Guides organisations from minimum compliance to higher maturity levels for competitive advantage. Learners identify maturity improvement opportunities across control domains.

Lesson 2 • Lessons Learned and Continuous Improvement

Establishes a lessons-learned process to capture audit insights and prevent recurring findings. Learners design a post-audit review template for organisational learning.

Lesson 3 • Integrating TISAX into Business Strategy

Shows how TISAX compliance can be positioned as a market differentiator and OEM relationship enabler. Learners develop a business case for sustained TISAX investment.
