Talking of standards, the ISO 27001 equivalent in the German Manufacturing space and, in particular, the automotive industry, is called TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange).
Everyone who uses TISAX in the automotive supply chain – from the manufacturer to the supplier – has to provide evidence at regular intervals that they comply with the same information security standard of their clients. Moreover, everyone shares the results of their assessment, giving confidence that all parties are aligned with the TISAX requirements.
Interestingly, our technology partner, Netoloji, have found their Business Process Management Solution (EFlow) is being used extensively by automotive companies (including Audi and Volkswagen) as well as supply chain manufacturers for maintaning compliance. Having developed >120 automated BPM processes, for managing ISO20071 / TISAX specific processes and data flows, E-Flow customers know that they are adhering to industry guidelines and can provide audit trails so that there are no nasty surprises when they are re-assessed in 3 years’ time.
