Quality Management

We develop high-quality security technologies and services on behalf of our customers. Scientific excellence is not the only key to our success. Our willingness to systematically and continuously improve processes and our ability to respond adequately to changes and requests from our customers and partners are also crucial. 

This ensures continuous and effective quality management at Fraunhofer AISEC.

TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange)

There are defined standards in the automotive industry for the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information. The ENX Association supports with TISAX® on behalf of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (Verband der Automobilindustrie, VDA) the common acceptance of Information Security Assessments in the automotive industry. 

Fraunhofer AISEC follows the question catalogue of information security of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA ISA) and, in accordance with Assessment Level 3, it has taken extensive measures on protection of information with very high protection requirements, of prototype components, parts and vehicles and images of objects that require protection.

Common Criteria

Common Criteria (CC) is an international IT security standard for trustworthy software and hardware. Since 2024, Fraunhofer AISEC's hardware security lab has been one of a select number of laboratories certified to Evaluation Assurance Level 7 (EAL 7) to perform evaluations of hardware and software. The certification confirms that the test lab at the Garching site fulfills all requirements of the ISO/IEC 15408-1 :2009, -2 :2008, -3 :2008 and Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (CC) standards.

DIN EN ISO 9001:2015

Since 2018, Fraunhofer AISEC has been certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, the international quality management standard. For partners and customers at home and abroad, we thus prove our performance, efficiency, and service orientation.

We ensure sustainability in the quality assurance of our services by means of the certified quality management system. We are constantly working on the efficiency of our processes, on minimizing risks and on the consistently high-quality standard of our products.

The high standard of our approach to quality management is attested by the very good results of the certification by TÜV SÜD Management Service GmbH. A no less important indicator is the trust of our partners and customers, which is often evident in long-standing working relationships.
