Question 1

What cost categories apply for TISAX?

Accepted Answer

Three main blocks: (1) Consulting and ISMS setup (internal or external, approx. EUR 8,000-30,000 depending on maturity), (2) Audit costs with an accredited TISAX auditor (approx. EUR 5,000-15,000 depending on protection level and locations), (3) ENX registration fee (approx. EUR 575 per year).

Question 2

What do consulting costs depend on?

Accepted Answer

Three key factors: number of employees, desired protection level (Normal/High/Very High), and existing structures (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001). For an SME with 50 employees and Normal protection, typical consulting costs are EUR 8,000-12,000. For Very High (prototype protection), they can reach EUR 25,000 or more.

Question 3

How much cheaper is the template package compared to external consulting?

Accepted Answer

The DeltaSecure template package (EUR 4,990 one-time) typically replaces 5-15 consultant days at daily rates of EUR 1,200-1,800 - a saving potential of EUR 8,000-25,000. Prerequisite: you have internal capacity to customize and fill the templates. Consulting remains valuable where strategic decisions or audit support are needed.

Question 4

How do employee count and locations affect costs?

Accepted Answer

Auditors charge per location and according to employee scales. A single-location audit is cheaper than multiple locations. Per 100 additional employees, audit effort increases by approx. 1-2 person-days. Distributed locations (branch offices, home office clusters) require sample audits that must be additionally budgeted.

Question 5

Are TISAX costs tax-deductible?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both consulting costs and audit fees as well as template purchases are fully deductible as business expenses. Input VAT is regularly deductible. For investments in security infrastructure, the investment deduction (IAB) for SMEs per Section 7g of the German Income Tax Act can additionally be used - consultation with a tax advisor is recommended.

Question 6

What ongoing costs arise after certification?

Accepted Answer

TISAX labels are valid for 3 years. Before expiry, a re-audit is required (approximately 50-70% of initial audit costs). Ongoing costs: annual ENX fee (approx. EUR 575), internal ISMS maintenance (1-3 person-days per quarter), awareness training, possibly SOC service. Total approximately EUR 5,000-15,000 per year for a typical SME.
