Impartiality & Eligibility
To protect independence and avoid conflicts of interest, DEKRA does not offer internal audit (second-party) services to organizations certified by DEKRA Certification Inc., nor to organizations intending to pursue certification with DEKRA for the same scope. If you are a DEKRA Certification Inc. client, we can refer you to independent partners.
Where AI Helps in Automotive
- MES/ERP/log triage: Production orders, scrap/rework, maintenance logs—patterns relevant to 9001 clauses and CAPA effectiveness
- Energy & environment/OH&S data: Meters/BMS exports, emissions/waste records, incident & near-miss logs, training records—summaries aligned to 50001/14001/45001 objectives & targets
- Supplier documentation: PPAP/FMEA/Control Plan snippets—linked when supplier touchpoints affect plant processes
- IT/OT artifacts (where in scope): Access lists, backup logs, change tickets—pre-tagged to 27001 Annex A controls
Security & Governance
Evidence zoning and segregated workspaces; role-based access with SSO; full audit logs
Encryption in transit/at rest; optional U.S. data residency and customer-managed keys
No training on client data in public models; private-tenant or on-premises options when required
Four-eyes principle and traceable citations: All AI outputs are reviewed and referenced to source evidence
