MLYK Consulting and Granite State Infosec Consulting Announce Strategic Partnership to Lead TISAX® Adoption in the U.S. Market
Munich, May 27, 2025 – MLYK Consulting, a leading European advisory firm for information security and compliance, and Granite State Infosec Consulting LLC (GSIC), a renowned U.S.-based cybersecurity consultancy, have entered into a strategic partnership to support U.S. companies in meeting the growing demands of TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange).
Originating from the German automotive industry through the VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry), TISAX® has established itself internationally as a critical standard for securing information within global automotive supply chains. While the U.S. market is only at the beginning of its TISAX® adoption journey, both companies see significant growth potential and are committed to leading this development from the front.
“As experts with deep roots in the German automotive industry, we understand not only the origin of TISAX®, but also how to translate its requirements into real business value,” says Michael Kirsch, CEO of MLYK Consulting. “Our partnership with GSIC is built on trust, proven collaboration, and the shared vision to help U.S. companies turn compliance into a strategic advantage.”
Wolfram von Schoen, President of GSIC, adds: “Having already successfully delivered TISAX® projects together in Europe, we are excited to bring this joint expertise to the American market. Together, we offer the perfect combination of German precision and a deep understanding of U.S. business environments to help organizations thrive in the highly competitive global automotive landscape.”
This partnership marks a significant step in establishing a strong transatlantic collaboration, providing U.S. organizations with the guidance and expertise needed to meet rising information security standards and open new opportunities in the global marketplace.
