TISAX® Conquers the US market: A new era of supplier security
In the fast-paced world of the automotive industry, supply chain security is becoming increasingly important. TISAX®, the Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange, is evolving from a mere interest to a serious commitment in the US. More and more American companies are recognizing the need for rigorous security certification to ensure the integrity of their supply chains. Here’s how the momentum is shifting in favor of TISAX® and the impact it’s having on the industry.
PACCAR: Pioneer for new standards
PACCAR, the company behind the renowned Kenworth and Peterbilt brands, is causing a stir by requiring its suppliers to achieve TISAX® certification at Assessment Level 3 (AL3). This requirement sets a new benchmark for security standards and demonstrates that PACCAR takes the security of its supply chain very seriously. By introducing these high standards, PACCAR is positioning itself as a pioneer in the industry and this could motivate other companies in the long term to impose similar requirements on their suppliers. This development is not only a sign of the seriousness with which American companies are taking the security of their supply chains, but also of the growing awareness of the risks associated with inadequately secured supply chains.
Stellantis: Early adaptation to TISAX®
Stellantis, the company behind well-known brands such as Chrysler and Jeep, is actively preparing for the integration of TISAX® into its security protocols. The expected requirements by 2025 have already caught the attention of many industry experts. Stellantis is showing foresight and a commitment to future-proofing the security of its supply chain. This proactive approach positions Stellantis as a pioneer in the automotive industry that is adapting to increased security standard requirements at an early stage. By implementing the TISAX® requirements ahead of time, Stellantis not only creates trust among its partners and customers, but also strengthens its own competitiveness on the global market.
Catena-X: New standards for the industry
Catena-X continues to raise expectations of security standards. All solution providers must have a valid TISAX® label on AL2 by July 2025, as specified by the strict criteria of ENX. Catena-X facilitates sovereign, standardized and secure data exchange across the entire value chain – from OEMs and suppliers to SMEs. It ensures that all participants retain full control over their data at all times. The mission of Catena-X is to sustainably improve transparency, efficiency and resilience in the industry through common standards. This initiative has developed into a global network with strong regional partnerships, the so-called “hubs”, which are firmly anchored in various regions to support the implementation of security standards worldwide.
A new era of secure collaboration
These requirements mark the beginning of a new era of secure and trusted collaboration. TISAX® is here to help companies navigate this ever-evolving landscape and easily achieve TISAX® certification to ensure compliance and strengthen supply chain integrity. The tide is turning in favor of TISAX®, which is establishing itself as a key player in supply chain protection.
