ISA2027 Resource Center
Everything you need to understand in the new ISA2027 assessment catalogue
ISA2027 is the newly released generation of the Information Security Assessment catalog used for TISAX® assessments. It introduces annual versioning, updated references and mappings, clearer requirement language, stronger supply-chain security expectations, and a substantial restructuring of Prototype Protection.
ISA2027 becomes effective for newly ordered TISAX® assessments beginning January 1, 2027. Existing TISAX® labels retain their established validity period, meaning the annual catalog release cycle does not create an annual reassessment requirement.
This resource center helps automotive suppliers and service providers understand the changes, evaluate their potential impact, and prepare their organizations before the new catalog becomes effective. Explore the individual articles and use the free ISA2027 Readiness Kit to turn the changes into practical preparation steps.
The ISA2027 Readiness Kit is a practical resource bundle built for automotive suppliers preparing for the newest VDA Information Security Assessment catalog.
It includes
a free Executive Summary explaining what changed and why it matters
a phase-by-phase Transition Checklist
a Project Timeline Template for planning your own readiness work
Management Briefing Slides for informing your leadership and securing the resourcing you need
and a Supplier ISA2027 Notice Template for cascading new documentation requirements to your own suppliers.
It is built for the people actually responsible for TISAX® compliance at small and mid-size suppliers, information security leads and compliance managers who need to understand the changes quickly, act on them practically, and bring the rest of their organization along.
Audit-Ready: TISAX® ISA2027 - Governance Maturity for Automotive Suppliers takes a deeper, practical look at what organizations need to become - and remain - audit-ready. It covers the ISA2027 changes, assessment scoping, protection needs, supplier management, acceptable evidence, maturity level 3, the assessment process, and long-term governance between assessment cycles. “From the field” insights explain how auditors test implementation and where organizations commonly struggle. Written by Michael Kirsch, Daniel McLain, and Wolfram von Schoen, the book combines hands-on experience supporting automotive suppliers on both sides of the Atlantic.
