Consolidated Metal Products Successfully Prepares for TISAX Level 3 Cyber Certification
With the help of: Ohio Manufacturing Extension Partnership (Ohio MEP)
About
Consolidated Metal Products, Inc. is a small manufacturer with 150 employees in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has been in business for over 80 years. CMP is the world’s largest full-line manufacturer of high-strength, cold-formed u-bolts. They also produce metal bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, washers, formed and threaded wire goods, and specialized industrial fasteners.
The Challenge
In late 2024, Consolidated Metal Products, Inc. completed a TISAX Level 3 self-assessment for their Cincinnati facility with TechSolve, Inc., the SW Ohio MEP Regional Partner. A deliverable from the previous project was a Corrective Action Identification List that noted the gaps requiring corrective actions identified during the self-assessment. TechSolve compiled a list of items based on requirements scoring. CMP aimed to achieve TISAX Assessment Level 3 by mid-2025 and decided to collaborate with TechSolve to address these gaps.
The TISAX Cybersecurity Remediation, training, and table-top simulation have allowed our employees and key leadership stakeholders to be able to retain our automotive contracts, identify the effectiveness of our cybersecurity plans, strengthen CMP's key personnel to better understand: TISAX and general security awareness, and to proactively prepare for potential cyber-attacks and what our recovery efforts will be in order to pass our TISAX audit and certification.
MEP's Role
The scope of this remediation project included TechSolve collaboratively leading CMP employees through the customization of our Documentation Toolkit. TechSolve also performed a Vulnerability Scan. Afterwards, our cybersecurity team delivered security awareness training and conducted a cybersecurity incident tabletop exercise with CMP's cross-functional team. Since TechSolve is not a Certification Audit Provider, we committed to assisting CMP in selecting an auditor via the ENX portal marketplace to complete their TISAX Level 3 Certification.
