Accelerating Aluma to ISO 27001 certification and beyond

The Challenge

Aluma’s CTO Mark Wightman and his team had already completed a lot of work on its ISMS by implementing core policies and controls using spreadsheets and templated documents.

“We had some home-grown spreadsheets and documents and had also explored some paid-for 27001 documentation toolkits.”

Mark came to us with a very clear understanding of the benefits of ISO 27001 certification. He knew that it would help his organisation boost its information security, win new customers and improve their internal information security practices.
Aluma had set itself a tight certification deadline and the road ahead looked challenging.

“We’d been struggling with our spreadsheets and feeling quite overwhelmed with the mechanics of the ISMS and in particular creating a risk register.”

The Solution

When Mark found our platform he had a love-at-first-sight moment.

“Once I saw the platform I immediately realised that it would massively simplify and streamline our work, by taking away the complexity of the mechanics, giving us a massive boost on policies and controls and generally guiding us in the right direction.”

Mark also signed up for our optional Virtual Coach, so he could draw on help from our ISMS support teams and ISO 27001 experts as and when needed.
He saw that our platform would simplify management of his ISMS through the lifecycle of its ISO 27001 certification. He could also use it to manage Aluma’s ISO 9001 certification and any other standards he chose to go for.
