What advantages do external TISAX® service providers offer over in-house consultancies?
TISAX® certification has undoubtedly become an indispensable benchmark for information security in the automotive industry. Companies operating in this industry are increasingly recognizing the importance of a robust information security culture to gain the trust of their customers and partners. However, even when companies decide to achieve TISAX® certification, the actual implementation of the requirements presents them with many hurdles: Time pressure, limited budget, and lack of skilled personnel.
Engaging external service providers for information security can help yor company to meet TISAX® requirements in an efficient way. This article highlights the benefits of working with external service providers – especially in the context of TISAX® certification.
First-hand expertise
External information security service providers bring extensive expertise with them. They are familiar with the latest developments in the industry and can offer best practices that work in different companies. In-house teams or consultancies usually only have experience from their own company or at least significantly fewer companies. Service providers benefit from the expertise they bring from the large number of customer projects the manage.
Specific knowledge
The next aspect is based on the first point. Service providers not only have general expertise in certification implementation and project management, but are specifically familiar with TISAX® requirements. External consultants are familiar with the processes and can quickly put your company on the right track with known best practices. This leads us directly to the next point.
