Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and more now require dealers to prove a real information-security program — ISO 27001 or TISAX Level 2. Most dealers need 8–12 months to get there. We build the plan that gets you there.
FTC Safeguards Rule — applies to every dealership holding customer financial data
And the math is unforgiving: gap assessment + 4–6 months of remediation + evidence collection + mock audit + the assessor’s calendar ≈ 8–12 months. The deadline means the clock is already running.
Why Ambit Security
TISAX-proven. We’ve achieved TISAX compliance ourselves and know AL2 vs AL3 cold — we speak the exact bar OEMs are forcing onto dealers, because we’ve cleared it.
Independent of the assessor. We prepare you and coordinate with your chosen assessor. We don’t grade the exam — the preparer and the grader stay separate.
Deadline-fluent. We know the 8–12 month clock and the OEM dates, so we sequence for what unblocks your business first — not a big-bang project.
No lock-in. Optional: TinyGRC, our Confluence compliance app, tracks your evidence where your team already works. Use it if it helps; it’s not the product.
How it works
Scope — what your OEM and assessor actually require, right-sized to your footprint (single rooftop or group).
Gap analysis — fixed-scope readiness assessment: current state vs. requirement, prioritized gaps, effort and timeline.
Assessor coordination — we run the prep and coordinate with your chosen assessor to certification.

Questions dealers ask us
Do you replace my MSP or IT team? No — it’s additive. They run day-to-day. We own the compliance program and the assessor relationship.
Isn’t a self-assessment or questionnaire tool enough? Assessors want evidence and a real ISMS — not a self-reported checklist. We turn the checklist into a certifiable program.
You’re not an auditor — why does that help? That’s the point. The preparer should be independent from the grader. We coordinate with your assessor of choice.
We’re a single rooftop, not a group. The OEM mandate hits every roof it touches. We scale the program to your footprint — smaller footprint, leaner program.
