TISAX Certification Qualifies SumTotal to Meet Rigid Automotive Industry Information Security Demands

SumTotal Systems today announced that it has received the TISAX® certification for its Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, Workforce Management, and Learning Management solutions. SumTotal is one of the very few Talent and Corporate Learning providers to pursue and successfully pass the rigorous assessment process for the TISAX certification. The automotive industry is fast moving, incorporating new technologies every day, which has led to rapid, industry-wide growth in the need for team adaptability, agility, and resilience, leading to the need for safe and secure talent development and qualification. (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) certification is a key requirement of automotive providers, suppliers, and associated companies in the automotive industry for any software platforms and systems processing sensitive data. The automotive industry is known to have some of the most rigid and demanding compliance requirements for solutions and systems used in their manufacturing and business processes. Given the need for suppliers and service providers to process highly sensitive information, including employee information, their clients regularly request evidence of compliance with stringent information security requirements. “Recognizing that our automotive customers need to develop their people while operating within the TISAX framework led us to pursue this certification and support their business model,” said Debasis Dutta, VP and GM, Product, SumTotal Systems.
