FAQ
ENX Automotive Compliance, Assurance and Risk Services (ENX ACARS) is a crucial part of ENX’s activities. These include ENX’s universal assessment and exchange mechanism for automotive value chains on a global scale, such as the Trusted Information Security Exchange (TISAX).
Recognizing the evolving need, individual automotive industry stakeholders asked ENX to create and maintain a standardized, industry-wide audit scheme for a supply chain vehicle-cybersecurity management system (V-CSMS). The ENX Vehicle Cybersecurity Audit (ENX VCS) achieves this by leveraging the existing ENX audit framework and infrastructure.
ENX governs ENX VCS by managing an approved pool of auditors, maintaining provider criteria and assessment requirements, and monitoring audit quality. It also administers the exchange mechanism and provides a single results database.
UN Regulation No. 155 (UN R-155) requires vehicle manufacturers to manage dependencies of their vehicle cybersecurity management system (V-CSMS) with supplier-related risks for the security of vehicles or vehicle components. V-CSMS audits of suppliers can support vehicle manufacturers in managing such dependencies.
