Build the Security Foundation
That Gets You Certified.
Your OEM just added ISO27001 to the contract requirements. Your TISAX deadline is approaching. You need an ISMS that is audit-ready, not a stack of templates. ITIS-Secure implements, documents, and maintains your Information Security Management System end-to-end.
What Is an ISMS and Why It Matters
An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is the structured framework of policies, procedures, risk assessments, and technical controls that an organisation uses to protect its information assets. It is not a single tool or a one-time project. It is a living system that governs how your company identifies, manages, and reduces information security risks across every department, supplier, and process.
For automotive suppliers pursuing TISAX, defence subcontractors navigating strict security frameworks, or any European company facing NIS2 obligations, an ISMS is no longer optional. It is the contractual baseline. BMW, Volkswagen, and Airbus require evidence of a functioning ISMS before awarding or renewing supply contracts. Without one, you are excluded from the bidding table entirely.
But your ISMS should be viewed as a business asset, not just a compliance burden. It is the foundation upon which every future certification is built — ISO27001, TISAX, NIS2, DORA, and beyond. At ITIS-Secure, we implement your ISMS using the proven ISO27001 Plan-Do-Check-Act lifecycle, ensuring that every control, every record, and every process is audit-ready from the very first day.
Our Mission
We understand that Information is of greater value than ever. Therefore, our mission is to help our partners protect the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of the Information they hold, as well as reducing the Risks and Vulnerabilities stemming out of error, malevolence, or natural intervention, to make the world a better and safer place.
Our Approach & Methodology
In the following, we will be describing our proposal for the delivered services. Please note that the activities refer to the Information Security Management System.
Our ISMS implementation follows the ISO27001 Plan-Do-Check-Act lifecycle — the internationally recognised framework for building, operating, and continuously improving an information security programme. Each phase builds on the last, creating a living system that evolves with your business and your threat landscape.
ISMS Gap Analysis & Foundation
GAP Analysis
Before building, we diagnose. The Gap Analysis phase establishes the foundation of your entire ISMS programme. We map your current security posture against ISO27001:2022 and VDA ISA 6.0 requirements, identifying every gap between where you are and where certification demands you to be. This diagnostic precision ensures that no resource is wasted on controls you already satisfy — and no critical gap is left unaddressed.
- Initialization of new certification projects
- Planning and establishing the ISMS
- Define the ISMS scope and boundaries
- ISMS information security requirements analysis
- ISMS information security policy document SET
- ISMS risk assessment
- Development of policies and procedures in support of the ISMS
Your ISMS Is the Foundation for TISAX Certification
TISAX Assessment Levels 2 and 3 require a functioning ISMS as their foundation. The VDA ISA 6.0 catalogue — the control framework that TISAX auditors use — is built directly on top of ISO27001 principles. This means every hour invested in your ISMS directly accelerates your TISAX timeline.
When you implement your ISMS with ITIS-Secure, your TISAX preparation is already 60–70% complete on the day your ISMS goes live. Our methodology is designed to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously, reducing your total investment by approximately 30% compared to treating them as separate projects.
