The Challenge

TISAX certification under high pressure.
Eurostyle Systems Tech Center GmbH had to renew its TISAX certification on short notice, amid growth, process changes, and a new leadership team. Two legally separate entities, a high protection requirement due to the development of safety-relevant prototypes, and an external audit provider who highlighted the need for action: the initial situation was complex.

What was needed was a partner who would not only advise, but also actively help shape the process – in a structured, pragmatic manner and with a clear focus on the essentials.

Implementation

From definition to certification: success through partnership.
SITS took on operational responsibility and supported Eurostyle in implementing all relevant measures, such as documentation and on-site support during the TISAX assessment. In close coordination with team leads, tasks were prioritized, documentation created, and employees sensitized. Within the Portfolio Unit Assessment & Advisory, the data protection and information security management teams worked closely together to capture and implement requirements effectively.

The collaboration was characterized by clarity, reliability, and a shared goal: successful TISAX re-certification.

Communication is open, friendly, constructive and results-oriented. It's not just about giving advice, but actively shaping and collaborating. In less than seven weeks, we achieved the TISAX label together – something some people thought was impossible. Thank you to the entire team!

The Result

Certified in seven weeks:
In this short period of time, all documentation was reviewed, revised and completed. Employees were specifically sensitised and security awareness was strengthened. The TISAX label was successfully renewed: a result that many thought impossible.

Today, Eurostyle benefits from clear structures, a strengthened security culture and a trusting partnership with SITS.
