Get your TISAX Bottleneck Map

You have an OEM deadline and a TISAX label to reach. Most programs do not stall on the standard, they stall because no one owns the path. Tell us your standard, deadline, and owner situation, and we show you where yours is likely to stall and which delivery path fits.

From Alexander Fuerst's session on scaling TISAX. Automotive Cybersecurity Summit 2026, Detroit.

Why this matters

TISAX does not win the contract. It keeps you in the race.

Most delays do not come from not knowing the standard. They come from having no effective owner for scope, evidence, decisions, and delivery pressure. The Bottleneck Map shows you where that gap sits, before it costs you the deadline.

Who this is for

Built for suppliers under a real deadline.

Automotive suppliers facing OEM, Tier 1, or global customer TISAX pressure.

Teams with a deadline but no effective internal owner.

Organizations unsure whether to use internal delivery, consultants, a platform, or managed execution.

OEMs and Tier 1s trying to understand supplier readiness bottlenecks.

The Effective Owner Test

Is there one person who owns the path?

Scope. Evidence. Decisions. Delivery pressure.

And do they have the bandwidth to carry it?

What we ask

Five inputs. About two minutes.

  1. Standard or target label.
    The label or standard your customer requires.
  2. Deadline or customer pressure.
    The date, and who is pushing it.
  3. Current owner situation.
    Who owns the path today, if anyone.
  4. Known blocker or uncertainty.
    The thing you already suspect will slow you down.
  5. Current evidence state.
    What documentation and evidence already exist.

What you receive

A one-page map, not a sales deck.

Your Bottleneck Map

One page. Five answers.

  • 1Your one-page bottleneck map
  • 2The point where certification is most likely to stall
  • 3The recommended delivery path for your situation
  • 4Your immediate next actions
  • 5A clear view on whether IX is the right fit

Delivery model logic

Four ways to get there. One fits your situation.

The map recommends a path, not a product. Each of these is the right answer under the right conditions.

Own resources

Works when the team, the expertise, the bandwidth, and an effective owner already exist in house.

Consultants

Work when judgment is what is missing, but execution capacity and an owner are already in place.

Technology-led compliance management

Works when only structure is missing, and the team can execute against it.

Managed audit-readiness execution / IX

Fits when deadline pressure, no effective owner, limited bandwidth, and the need to execute all appear together.

What we can and cannot say

Faster under real conditions. Never a promise.

The session, TISAX at Scale: Cutting the Certification Time by 50% Without Added Risk, describes what is achievable under defined scope, responsive inputs, and real implementation capacity. Those conditions are the point: the 50% is the outcome of an owned path, not a number attached to a signature.

IX does not issue certificates. Assessment and certification decisions rest exclusively with independent assessment providers and certification bodies. Nothing here promises or guarantees a certification decision, a revenue outcome, or a contract win.
