TISAX Certified. Now What?

​

You invested months — and significant resources — achieving your TISAX label. Your team worked through gap assessments, policy rewrites, risk registers, and a rigorous audit. You earned it.

​

But the label is only valid for three years. And the clock is already running.

​

Here's what most certified companies don't anticipate: maintaining TISAX compliance is not automatic. Without active governance, your ISMS begins to degrade within months. Risk registers freeze. Policies become outdated as processes change. Internal audits get postponed indefinitely. New employees never receive security training. By the time your reassessment arrives, the gap between where you are and where you need to be can be larger than when you started.

​

The result? A reassessment that feels like starting over — at full cost, under deadline pressure, with your OEM contracts at risk.

Introducing the TISAX Governance Office (TGO)

​

TGO is Gtechne's managed compliance program designed specifically for automotive suppliers who have achieved TISAX certification and need to maintain it — actively, continuously, and without the overhead of a full-time security hire.

​

It is not a consulting project. It is not a one-time engagement. TGO is a structured, monthly program that embeds security governance into your organization's operating rhythm — keeping your label renewal-ready every single day of the three-year cycle.

​

What TGO Delivers Every Month

​

Executive Security Committee (ESCOM)

A structured monthly meeting with your leadership team — with a standardized agenda, documented decisions, and a formal executive report. Your board gains real visibility into the organization's security posture, risk exposure, and compliance status. No technical jargon. Clear metrics. Informed decisions.

​

Active ISMS Maintenance

Every month, your ISA 6.0 controls are reviewed, updated, and evidenced. Policies are kept current. Non-conformances are tracked and resolved. Nothing falls through the cracks between audit cycles. When your reassessment arrives, your ISMS reflects reality — not a snapshot from three years ago.

​

Risk Management as a Living Process

Your risk register is updated continuously — not frozen at the point of certification. New threats, new technologies, new suppliers, and new processes are assessed and documented. Your leadership team always knows where the organization stands.

​

Evidence Vault

Every document, log, training record, and policy revision is organized and indexed throughout the engagement. When your audit provider arrives, the evidence package is ready. No scramble. No gaps. No surprises.

​

Fractional CISO

TGO includes dedicated security leadership — a senior consultant who acts as your virtual CISO. Attending your executive meetings. Advising on security investments. Representing the security function to your board, your OEM partners, and your own team. At a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

​

Reassessment Pipeline

Twelve months before your label expires, TGO activates a structured reassessment preparation program — including a mock assessment, gap remediation, and evidence review. You arrive at your audit fully prepared, not reactive.

​

Why Executives Choose TGO

​

For a CFO, TGO converts an unpredictable, episodic compliance cost into a fixed, budgetable monthly investment — while eliminating the financial risk of contract loss due to label expiration.

​

For a CEO, TGO provides monthly visibility into the organization's security posture without requiring technical expertise — and protects the OEM relationships that drive revenue.

​

For a CISO or IT Director, TGO is an experienced partner who shares the compliance burden, brings specialized TISAX expertise, and ensures the team is never caught unprepared.

​

For a Compliance or Quality Manager, TGO integrates directly with existing IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 processes — reducing audit duplication and documentation overhead.

​

The Bottom Line

​

Your TISAX label is a commercial asset. It qualifies you for contracts, opens doors with OEMs, and signals to your supply chain partners that your organization takes security seriously.

​

• TGO protects that asset — every month, for the full three-year cycle and beyond.

• One engagement. One fixed monthly investment. Zero compliance gaps.

• Your label. Maintained. Permanently.
