The Challenge

Providing this kind of service requires secure handling of large amounts of high value, personal data. So when Resolver got in touch with ISMS.online, it was with a singular objective. They wanted to achieve ISO 27001 certification to demonstrate the strongest possible commitment to information security to its customers, professional network and auditors.

They had gone through their Stage 1 audit, identifying a lot of improvement required. With just under six weeks to go to the Stage 2 audit, they sought out ISMS.online as the tool to help them manage and implement their corrective actions and improvements.

“I was tasked with expediting the process to ISO 27001 certification, using the best system to achieve the highest possible standard. Our intention was never to treat this as a box-ticking exercise. We wanted Resolver to fully benefit from the new controls brought in with ISO 27001, and the first step I took was to engage ISMS.online to help us do this.

I’d used ISMS.online previously, so the decision was one of the easiest I’ve ever made. The platform is so effective and easy to use; a brilliantly thought through set of tools, which holds your hand throughout the entire process.”
Chris O’Byrne Chief Technology Officer, Resolver Group

So much thought has gone into structure and user experience. I love being able to manage and collaborate on details.

The Solution

Resolver had already implemented numerous improvements in line with the auditor’s recommendations and findings from their Stage 1 audit, so although there was a lot of work to do, they were in a good position.

Our Assured Results Method guided Resolver through that process and helped them work through the rest of the ISO 27001 requirements. They were able to quickly move on to a review of their information asset inventory, risk register, and risk treatment plan, enabling them to validate the controls in place for mitigating identified risks.

They also engaged our ISO 27001 experts towards the end of the project to help them prepare for their final Stage 2 audit. With ISMS.online advice and support available every step of the way they were able to successfully manage and collaborate on details with their stakeholders.

“Unlike many operators in the InfoSec world, the ISMS.online support team are incredibly approachable and knowledgeable, getting straight to the point with clear answers.”
Chris O’Byrne Chief Technology Officer, Resolver Group

The Result

The structured approach in the ISMS.online platform, together with Resolver’s commitment and focus, led them to achieve ISO 27001 certification after six weeks from signing up.

“I can’t imagine anybody using ISMS.online and ever being able to consider returning to the old days of trying to manage it all themselves through those massive folder structures that were once so popular.”
