Frequently Asked Questions

What is TISAX and who needs it?
TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is an assessment and exchange mechanism for information security in the automotive industry. It's required for automotive suppliers and OEMs who handle sensitive information. TISAX assessments are based on VDA ISA (Information Security Assessment) requirements and help organizations demonstrate automotive information security capabilities. Organizations supplying to automotive manufacturers typically need TISAX compliance to qualify for contracts.
What is CyberVadis and why is it important?
CyberVadis is a cybersecurity assessment platform that provides cybersecurity ratings for organizations. It helps organizations assess and improve their cybersecurity posture and demonstrate cybersecurity maturity to customers and partners. CyberVadis is important for organizations seeking to meet customer cybersecurity requirements, reduce supply chain cybersecurity risks, and enhance competitive positioning. Many enterprise customers require CyberVadis assessments from their vendors and suppliers.
What is Microsoft SSPA and who should get assessed?
Microsoft SSPA (Security, Supply Chain, Privacy, and Accessibility) is a compliance framework for Microsoft partners and suppliers. It covers security requirements, supply chain attestations, privacy compliance, and accessibility standards. Microsoft partners, suppliers, and vendors who work with Microsoft products and services should get assessed. SSPA compliance is often required to qualify for Microsoft partner programs and contracts.
What is EcoVadis and who should get assessed?
EcoVadis is a sustainability assessment platform that provides ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) ratings for organizations. It helps organizations assess and improve their sustainability performance and demonstrate ESG maturity to customers and partners. Organizations seeking to meet customer sustainability requirements, reduce supply chain sustainability risks, and enhance competitive positioning should get assessed. Many enterprise customers require EcoVadis assessments from their vendors and suppliers.
How long do vendor compliance assessments take?
Vendor compliance assessment timelines vary based on the scheme, organization size, complexity, and current maturity. TISAX assessments typically take 2-4 months, CyberVadis assessments take 1-3 months, Microsoft SSPA assessments take 2-4 months, and EcoVadis assessments take 2-4 months. The process includes readiness assessment, gap analysis, implementation support (if needed), and assessment completion. Organizations with existing compliance programs may complete assessments faster. We work with you to develop a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Can we combine multiple vendor compliance assessments?
Yes, many organizations combine multiple vendor compliance assessments to maximize efficiency and reduce costs. Common combinations include TISAX with ISO 27001, CyberVadis with ISO 27001, Microsoft SSPA with ISO 27001, and EcoVadis with ISO 14001. Integrated compliance programs allow organizations to share common evidence, reduce duplication, and streamline assessments. Our team helps coordinate multiple assessments to leverage shared evidence and unified governance.
What happens after we complete a vendor compliance assessment?
Vendor compliance assessments are ongoing processes. After initial assessment completion, organizations must maintain their compliance programs, address assessment findings, implement improvement recommendations, and undergo periodic reassessments. Assessment validity periods vary by scheme: TISAX assessments are typically valid for 3 years, CyberVadis ratings are updated annually, Microsoft SSPA assessments require annual updates, and EcoVadis ratings are updated annually. We provide ongoing support to help you maintain compliance, prepare for reassessments, and continuously improve your programs.
How much do vendor compliance assessments cost?
Vendor compliance assessment costs vary based on the scheme, organization size, number of locations, complexity, and current maturity. Costs typically include readiness assessment, gap analysis, implementation support (if needed), assessment fees, and ongoing maintenance. We provide transparent pricing based on your specific situation. Many organizations find that the benefits of vendor compliance assessments, including improved security, reduced risks, and new business opportunities, far outweigh the costs.
Are vendor compliance assessments mandatory?
Vendor compliance assessments are generally required by customers, partners, and industry requirements rather than being legally mandatory. However, they're often required or strongly preferred by enterprise customers, automotive manufacturers, Microsoft partners, and organizations with sustainability programs. For example, TISAX may be required for automotive suppliers, CyberVadis may be required for IT vendors, Microsoft SSPA may be required for Microsoft partners, and EcoVadis may be required for suppliers to organizations with sustainability programs. Even when not mandatory, vendor compliance assessments provide significant competitive advantages and demonstrate commitment to security, cybersecurity, and sustainability.
