On the IO Platform
“What I like most about ISMS.online is that it gives us a centralised, structured control environment for managing ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 27701:2019. I need clear traceability between risks, controls, policies, audits, and corrective actions — and ISMS.online makes that connection easy to maintain and demonstrate.”
“I like that with ISMS.online, I can interlink different modules, which makes managing everything much easier. The ability to reuse aspects, such as the risk management tools or security incident management tools, is really valuable. It makes adhering to various standards and allowing auditors to see how we’re certified a lot simpler. Using the platform as a central focus point to manage our standards is quite efficient, and it’s easy to use.”
“I like that ISMS.online makes everything easily organized and provides great helpful online tips. The tracking and time limit notifications are really useful for keeping things on schedule. I find the risk register calculation feature valuable, along with the legislation support. It helps control versions of documents easily and makes it easy for staff to reference them.”
“The system provides excellent support for our structured work with information security. It helps us keep track of all requirements, offers clear guidance on how to meet them, and includes useful tools such as 2DOs, reminders, and incident and improvement management.”
On Our World-Class Support Team:
“Their IT team is wonderful to work with on any issues and improvement suggestions for the system – special shoutout to Dan and Mike for being extra great.”
“The customer service help is outstanding, queries are replied to quickly, professionally and always resolved.”
“Ella, our support analyst, has been fantastic and it feels like she is with us every step of the way, which is great as it means we have no excuses not to keep pushing through and not give up! Her being there and supporting us gives me a high degree of confidence that we will get accredited as planned as she immediately provides help and answers when we need it.”
“Very good customer support – they reply straight away and there is a real human (same few experts mainly) which provides quick answers to most of the queries or keep you updated if answer is not available straight away.”
In Case Studies:
“The IO platform is now our strategic umbrella system for managing our entire security and compliance landscape.”
