Our Pune Chakan laboratory has become the first automotive testing facility in India approved to deliver testing services under Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX®), marking a major milestone for both the Indian market and the expansion of our global network under TISAX recognition.
TISAX is a globally recognized information security standard tailored specifically for the automotive industry. Developed by the German automotive sector and operated by the ENX Association, it establishes a consistent, unified level of information security across manufacturers and their supply chains. With the rapid growth of automotive smart technologies generating increasing volumes of data, robust protection has become essential to safeguarding both personal and commercial information.
Achieving this approval demonstrates our strong commitment to protecting sensitive customer and prototype data with the highest levels of confidentiality and trust. As the first TISAX-approved laboratory in India, our Pune facility provides local clients with direct access to globally recognized testing services, reducing compliance barriers and strengthening their participation in global automotive supply chains.
Compliance with this voluntary standard enables organizations across the automotive supply chain to demonstrate that specific information security benchmarks have been met. This includes manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, research and development organizations and logistics and transportation businesses. Assessment results are shared with partners via TISAX’s official ENX portal, where companies register, book and manage security assessments.
The benefits of TISAX compliance extend beyond trusted security, including:
- Reduced risk and stronger data governance
- Enhanced credibility through a single, standardized assessment
- Ability to share results with multiple OEMs via the ENX portal, eliminating duplicate audits, reducing effort and lowering long-term compliance costs
- Recognition as a preferred supplier in security-critical markets
- Alignment with OEM prototype protection requirements and global standards, including ISO 27001 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation
- Access to international markets through improved global compatibility and scalability
The recognition of the Pune laboratory further strengthens our global TISAX testing network, spanning key automotive hubs in Shanghai, Suzhou and Tianjin in China, as well as Gelting, Puchheim and Herten in Germany.
Shailesh Pandey, Automotive and Connectivity Director, SGS India: “This expansion enhances our ability to deliver consistent, high-quality TISAX testing services globally while supporting regional growth. By expanding our capabilities into India, we are enabling customers to access trusted services locally, with the speed, accessibility and global alignment needed to succeed in today’s automotive supply chains.”
With Pune now part of this network, clients in India and surrounding regions benefit from faster, more accessible support within a globally integrated framework.
