ISMS.online helped Viital ace through their ISO 27001 certification project

The Challenge

We first started talking with Peter in August 2020. With our help, Viital achieved full certification in April 2021. Along the way Peter and his colleagues built up a very in-depth, practical understanding of both ISO 27001 and ISMS in general.

“Our prospective customers are predominantly blue chip companies that have very strict information security requirements for their suppliers. So being ISO 27001 certified makes the procurement process easier for both parties.”

The Solution

Like many of our customers, Viital had achieved the infosec basics but weren’t sure how to build on them. They knew that we’d be there to guide them through that process and more.

“One of the selling points was the physical help and support from ISMS.online experts, plus a sanity check throughout.”

They also signed up for our optional Virtual Coach, which provides 24/7 context-specific ISO 27001 support. And of course they could draw on our Assured Results Method. It’s freely available to all our customers. We’ve carefully designed it to accelerate any size or type of organisation to first time ISO 27001 compliance or certification success.

And there’s one thing we always emphasise. Information security is as much about people as technology. So Peter chose to draw on our Policy Packs feature. It helped him share relevant policies with each of his colleagues, making sure they all clearly understood their infosec responsibilities and complied with Viital’s ISMS.

“We chose ISMS.online because it’s a very well designed solution that would help us efficiently manage the ISMS and therefore increase the likelihood of maintaining certification as our business grows.”
