Unlock Compliance at Your Fingertips with ISMS.online’s Mobile Policy Packs

The modern workplace is no longer confined to office walls. Remote work, flexible schedules, and geographically dispersed teams are increasingly common. In this dynamic landscape, ensuring your employees have secure and compliant access to vital policies, wherever they are, is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Data security and information security are paramount, and compliance with regulations is essential to avoid costly penalties and reputational damage.

Businesses need to manage security policies effectively because: 

  1. Reduces risk of cyberattacks: A strong policy helps identify and address vulnerabilities, mitigating potential damage from sophisticated attacks.
  2. Promotes compliance: Aligning with regulations like ISO/IEC 27001 avoids penalties and demonstrates responsible data handling.
  3. Standardises practices: Clear policies ensure everyone understands expectations and minimise the chance of accidental breaches.
  4. Builds positive security culture: User-friendly policies encourage engagement and proactive security awareness.
  5. Protects business opportunities: Meeting security standards can be a prerequisite for partnerships and contracts.

At ISMS.online, accessibility and user-friendliness are at the core of everything we do. That’s why we’re thrilled to unveil our latest update: Mobile Policy Packs are now available, putting essential policies directly into the palm of your hand and empowering your mobile workforce with on-the-go compliance support. 

Why Mobile Matters for Policy Access

ISMS.online offers a simple approach to keeping track of staff and supplier compliance with company policies. Policy packs can be created with the relevant policies for each team and sent out via our platform. This lets you track who has complied and where reminders need to be sent, enabling real-time oversight of individual, team and department compliance.   

While traditional desktop-based policy management systems serve a purpose, they often leave mobile employees stranded. Imagine a construction worker needing to clarify a safety protocol on-site, a field salesperson requiring information about client confidentiality, or a remote team member seeking guidance on data privacy regulations. Delays, confusion, and potential non-compliance issues can arise without instant access to relevant policies.  

Mobile Policy Packs bridge this gap. By optimising existing policy libraries for mobile devices, we provide instant access to your business’s crucial information right at your fingertips, allowing your team to:  

  • Stay informed and compliant regardless of location: Whether on a business trip, working from home, or at a client site, your team can access essential policies with a few taps on their phone or tablet. This ensures they have the most up-to-date information, mitigating compliance risks. Users can instantly access and reference the necessary policies with just a few taps, saving valuable time and streamlining their workflow. 
  • Foster a culture of accountability: Easy access to policies encourages active engagement and ownership of compliance responsibilities. By making policies readily available, you remove potential excuses for non-compliance and  cultivate a culture of accountability within your organisation, ultimately leading to improved business compliance across all departments and roles.
  • Benefit from information security resilience: Mobile Policy Packs are designed with robust security features, ensuring your sensitive data remains protected even when accessed on personal devices. This information security resilience minimizes the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, providing peace of mind and safeguarding your valuable information.
  • Prepare for the future with AI Chat assistance: Launching in 2024, Mobile Policy Packs lay the foundation for our upcoming AI Chat assistance feature. This exciting feature will provide users with seamless access to policy-related support and guidance directly from their mobile devices, further enhancing compliance and information security within your organisation.

“ISMS.online has helped us communicate with staff about policy changes. All our employees now know where to find company processes, and during our audit we were able to use Policy Packs to evidence that staff had read our policies and controls.” DOMINIC FORREST – CTO, IPROOV”
