When it comes to data privacy, compliance processes, and information security, our customers, users, and HR and L&D partners hold us to high standards. Meeting these expectations is one of our top priorities. Speexx has recently undergone audits for compliance with Directive (EU) 2016/97, AZAV in Germany, CPF and Qualiopi in France, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, PCI-DSS for our servers, and ISO 9001:2015 certification. Now, we have taken an important step forward in information security and GDPR compliance by achieving TISAX certification.
Speexx and Security
The European automotive industry depends on trust to develop, build, and operate vehicles. To establish this trust, automotive manufacturers and their suppliers rely on the Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX) and its accreditation to ensure a high level of information security. In March 2021, TÜV Rheinland, an accredited independent auditor, completed the TISAX accreditation assessment for Speexx and our parent company, Digital Publishing AG.
TISAX accreditation is based on the ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002 international standards, adapted specifically for the automotive industry. In 2017, it was updated to include controls for cloud services, such as those provided by Speexx.
“We are proud to be the first global digital learning platform to achieve TISAX participant status. This international standard clearly endorses our strategy of delivering large-scale infrastructure and digital learning services to enterprise customers worldwide,” says Felix Frankenberger, Chief Data Protection Officer at Speexx. “As organizations increasingly depend on cloud technology—particularly now, with much of the workforce working online rather than in physical offices—security and privacy will become even more critical for the companies and technology providers that support them.”

TISAX Accreditation: Why Is It Important?
Awareness of existing regulations, laws, or compliance standards is no longer enough. In this post-pandemic world and era of accelerated digitization, achieving accreditations such as TISAX accreditation sets an organization apart from its peers.
With much of the global workforce operating remotely or in hybrid arrangements, certifications for processes, technology standards, and cloud services have become even more critical. When face-to-face interactions with partners, customers, candidates, or service providers are limited, certifications provide a vital way to identify security issues or lapses in compliance.
Corporate capabilities in security, privacy, and compliance leave no room for uncertainty. Whether business is conducted in-house or in hybrid models, certifications enable organizations to better assess and trust digital service providers and their processes, particularly in regulated industries. To stay secure, organizations must carefully vet their digital service providers for compliance and reliability, appropriate security measures, accreditation and certifications.
