Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX®) is a standardised assessment and exchange mechanism for the information security in the automotive industry. The TISAX® certification affirms that Elval’s information security management system meets predefined high-security standards, enabling trusted collaboration among designated business partners and underscoring Elval’s commitment to data protection and privacy compliance.
Why TISAX® matters: The automotive industry is both high-end and complex, involving multiple stakeholders throughout the manufacturing process. From the original design of an automotive part to the final assembly and sale of the end vehicle, seamless collaboration is essential among various industrial and service partners engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, selling, repairing, and modification of a vehicle. Metal processing companies, like Elval, provide the semi-finished metal solutions. Such companies collaborate with automakers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), which design and produce the necessary parts for vehicle assembly and maintenance. Across this multi-party supply chain, valuable data, derived from years of expertise, is shared among industrial partners long before vehicles reach end consumers. Protecting this information is vital to preserving competitive advantage.
This is where TISAX® accreditation makes a difference. Established by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and comprised of a comprehensive set of security requirements detailed in the VDA Information Security Assessment (ISA) catalogue, TISAX® stands as the most trustworthy information security assessment framework for automotive partners.
Elval’s flat rolling aluminium processing facility underwent a comprehensive evaluation of all processes, including the assessment of the resources associated with all security requirements. The process involved collecting, processing and storing sensitive information related to Elval’s automotive partners.
TISAX®, aligned with ISA requirements, guarantees that Elval adheres to the highest data exchange standards within the automotive industry. This certification not only streamlines our security objectives among business partners in a standardised manner but also enhances collaboration with current and prospective automotive clients, business partners, and stakeholders.
