ID510 TISAX Assessment with VDA ISA CONTENT Protecting business processes and information, even under difficult boundary conditions, is a central task of corporate management. The TISAX model (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) was developed for this purpose under the VDA umbrella. TISAX facilitates the cross-organizational recognition of information security assessments and creates a common testing and exchange standard for this purpose. It is based on the VDA Information Security Assessment (VDA ISA), a questionnaire that can be used for self-assessment, but which also serves as a basis for issuing the TISAX label by the testing service providers. In this training, you will learn how to implement measures for a successful TISAX assessment in your own company using central VDA ISA requirements as examples. You will also receive an overview of the structure and content of the requirements catalog. OBJECTIVES - You will learn to create a basis for decision-making and to develop a TISAX roadmap for implementation in the company. - You will become familiar with the necessary processes and measures for a successful TISAX assessment. - You will become familiar with different tools for successfully implementing corresponding measures in your own company. - You will be able to implement the VDA ISA requirements using practical examples.
