TISAX® is a common evaluation and exchange procedure for the automotive sector. It is based on the questionnaire (ISA – Information Security Assessment) developed by the VDA working group “Information Security”, which in turn is based on key aspects of the international standard ISO/IEC 27001 and has been extended to include a maturity model.

In addition, the responsible bodies of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) have created the conditions for establishing the joint assessment and exchange mechanism under the name of TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment eXchange). TISAX® is a registered trademark of the ENX Association.

SQM is part of the lithium battery industry, so the TISAX® certification is part of a requirement of its most important clients.
