Our Story
Finding the right solution for the right problem.
The Tracking and Aftermarket Security System Association (TASSA) was established by VSST Ltd with the goal to become the foremost innovation accrediting body for aftermarket security systems. ​
Following success in the UK, TASSA Canada has been formed to support Canadian consumers, law enforcement, product / service providers, and installers.
​
Highly respected within the industry, we were a leading stakeholder in the redevelopment of the CAN/ULC-S338 (Standard for Automobile Theft Deterrent Equipment and Systems: ElectronicImmobilization), and have worked with key stakeholders within the Canadian vehicle security industry since the 1990s.
Informed by decades of experience, in combination with continued learnings from analysis, testing, research, and collaborations with the wider industry, TASSA independently set vehicle security system standards. However, we don’t just set the standard, we complete rigorous verification checks against them and provide tools such as the TASSA Database to further mitigate the risks of vehicle crime.​​
Independence
Trust is pivotal to providing consumers and industry with confidence and reassurance. Trust can only come from an unblemished track record and reputation for independence and impartiality.
Innovation
Theft technology continues to develop at breakneck speed and the fastest counter measure is from the aftermarket. In order to support the development of cutting edge solutions while ensuring that best practise is maintained, TASSA itself must be agile and innovative.
Collaboration
​Each person, part, and sector, of the industry can be greater than the sum of their parts if they are adequately supported. TASSA brings together and supports companies and individuals working hard to innovate against theft.
Our Services
TASSA provides a range of services to support our clients, consumers, and wider industry, including:
Setting the Standard
The TASSA Industry Standards are expertly designed to support innovation against vehicle theft while ensuring that consumers continue to be adequately protected and that best practice is strictly adhered to at all times.
TASSA Database
The TASSA Database evidences that products and systems have been fitted by an appropriately trained installer, eliminates the need for paper certificates, and enables products and systems to be audited 24/7.
Industry Services
Through our extensive experience, learnings from collaboration, and innovative tools (such as the TASSA database), we work with authorised third parties to tackle vehicle crime holistically, effectively, and efficiently.
Verification Checking
We complete checks over products and services, installation companies and installers to give confidence that solutions are fit for purpose and safely installed by a trusted installer.
Representation
We know that knowledge sharing and listening is essential to effectively and efficiently tackle vehicle crime and see TASSA as an important vehicle for facilitating collaboration.
Support and Advice
Our website contains a wealth of information detailing our work, general advice, and details of TASSA verified products, services and installers. Nevertheless, we are always happy to provide additional security system advice, help and support on request.
