Keepit Achieves TISAX Certification, Reinforcing Commitment to World-Class Information Security
Keepit, a global leader in SaaS data protection, has announced the successful completion of its Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX) audit, achieving outstanding results with no major findings. This milestone underscores Keepit’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards of information security and reinforces its reputation as a trusted partner for organizations seeking robust data protection solutions.
What is TISAX?
TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is a European standard for information security assessments, developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). Built on the foundation of ISO/IEC 27001, TISAX evaluates how effectively organizations protect sensitive information, including customer data, intellectual property, and other critical assets. While it originated within the automotive industry, TISAX has gained widespread recognition across various sectors, particularly in Europe, as a benchmark for rigorous information security practices.
For organizations operating in industries like manufacturing, defense, mobility, and regulated services, TISAX certification has become a key requirement when selecting vendors and partners. In regions such as the DACH area (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), TISAX is especially prominent, serving as a standard expectation for companies working within the automotive supply chain.
Validating Keepit’s Robust Security Posture
The TISAX assessment thoroughly evaluated Keepit’s Information Security Management System (ISMS) across a wide range of critical areas. These included access controls, data encryption, data retention policies, physical security measures, personnel training programs, incident response protocols, vendor management practices, and business continuity strategies.
By successfully completing the audit without any major findings, Keepit has demonstrated the maturity and effectiveness of its security controls. This achievement provides customers and partners with additional assurance that their sensitive data is handled responsibly and protected in compliance with one of Europe’s most stringent security standards.
“Our successful TISAX audit is another strong validation of our commitment to maintaining world-class information security,” said Kim Larsen, Chief Information Security Officer at Keepit. “We are proud that our ISMS met the TISAX requirements without major findings — a reflection of the diligence and collaboration across our entire organization. This achievement strengthens the trust our customers place in us to protect their most valuable data.”
Enhancing Trust Across Industries
While TISAX originated in the automotive sector, its rigorous approach to information security has made it a widely respected benchmark across multiple industries. Companies in Europe and beyond increasingly expect their vendors and partners to meet or exceed similar standards to ensure compliance, reduce risk, and enhance cyber resilience.
In the DACH region, where TISAX certification is often a prerequisite for participation in the automotive supply chain, Keepit’s achievement solidifies its position as a trusted partner for enterprises. The certification not only validates Keepit’s ability to meet regulatory requirements but also demonstrates its forward-thinking approach to data protection and governance.
“Our customers — particularly in Europe — are increasingly requesting TISAX certification as part of their supplier and partner assessments,” Larsen added. “This certification gives them the confidence that Keepit is not only compliant but proactive in our approach to safeguarding their data.”
A Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Keepit’s TISAX certification is valid for three years and can be shared under mutual non-disclosure agreements via the ENX portal, which facilitates secure information exchange among certified organizations. This transparency allows customers, partners, and auditors to verify Keepit’s compliance and gain deeper insights into its security practices.
The completion of the TISAX audit further complements Keepit’s existing compliance achievements, including ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type I attestation. These accomplishments collectively highlight Keepit’s ongoing dedication to transparency, trust, and the continuous improvement of its security practices.
Empowering Customers with Confidence
In today’s digital landscape, where data breaches and cyber threats are on the rise, organizations must prioritize the security of their sensitive information. Keepit’s TISAX certification provides an additional layer of assurance to its customers and partners, demonstrating that the company adheres to some of the most rigorous security standards in the industry.
