ISO 9001

ISO 9001 is an international standard for quality management systems and defines the requirements for such systems. A quality management system (QMS) is a collection of guidelines, processes, documented procedures and internal rules. The focus here is on the clear definition, mapping and monitoring of processes. A QMS should fulfill customer satisfaction as well as legal and regulatory requirements.

ISO 9001 provides the basis for such a QMS. The advantages of a QMS for a company are potential increases in efficiency and competitiveness in the market, as the quality of the company can be verified by certification bodies, thus creating customer confidence.

ISO 27001

The international ISO/IEC 27001 standard contains the requirements for the establishment, implementation, maintenance and continuous improvement of an information security management system (ISMS) in organizations. The focus is on the protection of confidential information and the integrity and availability of information.

With certification, companies can prove that they meet the requirements of information security and thus create trust with business partners.

TISAX

The “Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange” certification is an information security certification. It is based on the standards of the German “Verband der Automobilindustrie” (VDA) for Information Security, in short the VDA ISA and the international standard ISO/IEC 27001. 

In addition to the main module Information Security, it includes the three optional modules Data Protection according to GDPR, Prototype Protection and Third Party Connection. 

The ENX Association acts as a steering body for the testing service providers who can carry out the TISAX audit. This certification is particularly relevant in the automotive industry, for its suppliers and for marketing companies.
