Who needs SMC
OEMs provide proprietary tooling data that must be protected. TISAX certification requires demonstrable information security controls. SMC covers both.
Who this is for
Automotive tier suppliers and contract manufacturers that receive proprietary tooling data — G-code, CAD/CAM files — from OEM customers. These shops must demonstrate information security controls for TISAX certification and OEM audit requirements.
The challenge
OEMs provide proprietary tooling data — G-code, CAD/CAM files — that must be demonstrably protected
TISAX certification requires access control, encryption, audit logging, and change management for technical data
A tooling leak means the OEM moves the work elsewhere
VDA ISA requires audit trails and access control for technical data
"Our OEM requires TISAX certification and we don't know where to start on the shop floor."
"Our customer sent a corrective action about how we handle their tooling data."
"We think someone copied our tooling package from the shop floor."
How SMC helps
Tooling programs are encrypted from the moment they are received. No USB copying, no open folders, no unauthorized access — the boundary enforces it automatically.
Access control, encryption, audit logging, and change management align with VDA ISA requirements for technical information protection.
Every operator, every machine, every program — tracked and logged. If a question arises about how a file moved through your facility, the answer is in the audit log.
Exportable reports showing access control, transfer history, and change management — ready when your OEM or TISAX assessor asks.
