TISAX

# Security validation for automotive supply chains

OEMs and Tier suppliers must satisfy TISAX and customer audit programs while shipping connected software faster. VORNAC adds continuous, exploit-proven adversarial validation across web, APIs, binaries, and cloud, with evidence your assessors can verify.

[See coverage](https://www.vornac.com/en/pentesting#coverage)

## What TISAX and OEM programs require

Information security assessment for the automotive industry, plus customer-specific requirements on connected products.

### TISAX assessment objectives

Protection levels aligned with VDA ISA: prototype protection, data protection, and connection to third parties.

### Connected vehicle & backend

Telematics, OTA updates, mobile apps, and API backends. Real attack paths, not checkbox scans.

### Binary & embedded software

.exe, .dmg, firmware, and ECU-related deliverables. Reverse engineering and exploit validation where applicable.

### Supplier cascade

Tier-N suppliers must prove the same rigor as OEMs. Continuous evidence beats annual assessment snapshots.

## TISAX every three years is not enough

New vehicle lines, supplier integrations, and OTA releases change your exposure between assessments. Continuous validation keeps your label and your customers’ trust.

2–5h

From trigger to actionable finding, on every release.
