TISAX Physical Security Implementation CCTV – Professional CCTV solutions in accordance with TISAX requirements
At a time when digital transformation and physical security are equally crucial to business success, TISAX Physical Security Implementation CCTV plays a central role. For companies with sensitive data, networked processes, or as part of the automotive supply chain, TISAX means implementing the highest security standards not only in IT, but also in physical surveillance.
The GRAEF Group supports you with professional CCTV solutions that are TISAX-compliant, scalable, and future-proof.
What is TISAX and why is CCTV important?
TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is a testing and exchange mechanism for assessing information security in the automotive industry and beyond. In addition to traditional IT security aspects, TISAX also requires physical security measures to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive areas and data.
Video surveillance (CCTV) is a key component of physical security. It serves the following purposes:
monitoring of endangered zones,
the documentation of safety-related events,
the detection and deterrence of unauthorized access,
providing evidence to auditors and inspection bodies.
Requirements for TISAX Physical Security CCTV
According to TISAX, CCTV systems must be implemented physically, technically, and organizationally in such a way that they:
Ensure visibility and integration of critical areas
TISAX requires that CCTV cameras clearly cover areas where confidential information, production facilities, server rooms, or sensitive work processes are located. These include:
Entrance and exit zones,
Access control points,
Server and technical rooms,
Production lines with intellectual property.
CCTV installations must be planned in such a way that there are no "blind spots" and seamless surveillance is possible.
High-resolution and reliable images
The video quality must provide sufficient detail to clearly identify people, processes, and events, even in low light conditions. Typical requirements include:
Full HD or higher,
IR support for night operation,
Resilient lenses with variable focus adjustment.
Archiving and access control
TISAX stipulates that records must be stored securely and only made accessible to authorized persons. This means:
secure storage on local NVRs or servers,
encrypted data transmission,
defined retention periods,
logged accesses.
CCTV as part of an integrated security concept
According to TISAX, CCTV should not be viewed in isolation, but as an integral part of a holistic security framework. This includes:
Access control systems,
Fire and intrusion detection technology,
Physical security technology (perimeter protection),
Alarm management and response processes.
A closely networked CCTV solution ensures that security incidents are quickly detected, assessed, and dealt with—for example, in combination with access control, motion detectors, or fire alarm systems.
CCTV technologies that support TISAX requirements
Modern CCTV systems that are suitable for TISAX-compliant implementations offer, among other things:
AI-supported video analysis
Object detection, motion detection, person detection, and behavior triggers minimize false alarms and increase response speed.
Network integration & remote monitoring
IP-based systems enable centralized management, remote access, health monitoring, and easy scalability—ideal for distributed locations.
Redundant storage
Multi-channel NVRs with RAID functionality, cloud backup, and redundant storage systems ensure data integrity and reliability.
How the GRAEF Group implements TISAX CCTV systems
As an experienced partner for security and surveillance technology, the GRAEF Group supports companies in planning and implementing CCTV solutions that meet TISAX requirements:
Security analysis & risk assessment
We identify critical zones and potential hazards and define suitable CCTV coverage.System design & product selection
Selection of high-performance cameras, NVRs, lenses, and storage concepts to suit your security level.
installation and integration Professional installation, configuration, network integration, and interfaces to access or alarm systems.
Support & Maintenance Regular functional checks, updates, and preventive maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
CCTV in the TISAX context – more than just surveillance
For companies that want to pass TISAX audits and establish a high standard of physical security, a well-designed CCTV system is essential. It not only offers protection and detection, but also provides documentable evidence, which is crucial for audits.
The GRAEF Group supports you every step of the way—from analysis to certified implementation.
