Description
About the TISAX Documentation Toolkit
TISAX is the automotive industry’s answer to repeated, inconsistent security audits: one assessment, based on the VDA ISA catalogue, that OEMs and suppliers mutually recognise. If you handle a manufacturer’s data or prototypes, TISAX is often the price of entry. This TISAX Toolkit provides 40 templates built to VDA ISA2027, the catalogue that applies to every TISAX assessment ordered from 1 January 2027, aligned to the VDA ISA controls — covering information security policies, prototype and data protection, access and physical security, supplier management, and the assessment-evidence records a TISAX audit examines. Each document is written to the VDA ISA structure and assessment levels, so your evidence lines up with how the audit is scored. Everything is editable in Microsoft Office.
TISAX Toolkit Author
Authored by a CISSP-certified GRC consultant with extensive experience in automotive information security, this toolkit encapsulates practical knowledge in a user-friendly, ready-to-use format. The templates reflect how TISAX assessments are prepared against the VDA ISA catalogue in the automotive supply chain, not just the label definitions.
What is included in the toolkit?
- 40 TISAX Documentation Templates — including governance documents, functional policies, procedures, templates, registers, workbooks, and cross-mapping matrices

TISAX Assessment Alignment
This toolkit is built to VDA ISA2027 — the catalogue that applies to every TISAX assessment ordered from 1 January 2027 — and supports all three assessment objectives: Information Security, Prototype Protection, and Data Protection.
The Statement of Applicability carries the full ISA2027 control set: 46 information security, 20 prototype protection and 12 data protection controls. The cross-mapping matrix maps each of them to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISA/IEC 62443-2-1, NIST CSF 2.0, ISO/IEC 27701, GDPR and NIS2, and the internal audit checklist flags the controls ISA2027 introduced or strengthened so you can sample those first.
Documents are included for each area ISA2027 added — order-specific prototype requirements (8.1.2), prototype incident management (8.1.11), lifecycle traceability (8.1.12), and end-of-life disposal, recycling and return (8.1.13) — together with the strengthened supplier evidence and monitoring requirements at control 6.1.1. See our guide to what changed in VDA ISA2027.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the TISAX Documentation Toolkit?
The toolkit includes 40 professionally developed documentation templates covering all three TISAX assessment objectives: Information Security, Prototype Protection, and Data Protection. It spans governance documents, functional policies, operational procedures, registers, workbooks, and cross-mapping matrices — all provided in editable Microsoft Office format for immediate use after purchase.
Is this toolkit aligned with VDA ISA2027?
Yes. It is built to VDA ISA2027, the catalogue that applies to every TISAX assessment ordered from 1 January 2027. The Statement of Applicability carries all 78 ISA2027 controls, and the cross-mapping matrix covers ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISA/IEC 62443-2-1, NIST CSF 2.0, ISO/IEC 27701, GDPR and NIS2. Documents for the controls ISA2027 introduced — order-specific prototype requirements, prototype incident management, lifecycle traceability, and end-of-life disposal and return — are included, along with the strengthened supplier evidence requirements at control 6.1.1.
What if my assessment is ordered before 2027?
ISA 6 applies to TISAX assessments ordered on or before 31 December 2026 and opened by March 2027; ISA2027 applies to everything ordered from 1 January 2027. The policies, procedures and registers serve either case, but the three control registers — Statement of Applicability, cross-mapping matrix and internal audit checklist — use ISA2027 numbering, because the prototype protection module was renumbered between the two editions. If you are being assessed against ISA 6, map those three documents to your assessment scope before you submit evidence.
Who can benefit from this TISAX toolkit?
This toolkit is designed for automotive suppliers preparing for TISAX registration and assessment, OEM procurement teams validating supplier security posture, and GRC consultants supporting clients in the automotive supply chain. It is especially valuable for Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers seeking to demonstrate compliance across all TISAX assessment levels.
How do I use the templates after purchase?
All 40 templates download instantly. Open each in Microsoft Office, tailor the policies and control documents to your sites and the data or prototypes you handle, and the assessment-evidence records are ready to complete. The structure follows the VDA ISA catalogue used in the TISAX assessment.
Can I use this toolkit for multiple clients or projects?
Yes. Automotive suppliers and TISAX consultants reuse the toolkit across sites and client organisations, adapting the controls and assessment scope to each label and level required. It suits groups managing several assessment locations or advisors supporting multiple suppliers.
Does this toolkit cover Prototype Protection requirements?
Yes. The toolkit includes a dedicated Prototype Protection section with policies covering prototype handling, photo and film restrictions, project security plans, and a Prototype Handling Register — directly addressing the VDA ISA prototype protection assessment objective.
