ISMS.Online Launches “SPoT” -An Industry First Cloud Management System Combining ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 into a ‘Single Point of Truth’
Table Of Contents:
Today, ISMS.online is proud to announce the latest addition to its industry-leading governance, risk management and compliance platform, SPoT.
SPoT makes light work of your efforts to implement ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, seamlessly combining your Information Security Management System (ISMS) and Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) into a ‘Single Point of Truth’, or SPoT for short. And we thought there was no better time to introduce you to SPoT than during International Data Privacy Week!
Why Did We Create SPoT?
Why have we launched this product, you might ask! Well, back in 2020, we noticed the trend towards forward-thinking organisations looking to combine their ISMS with their PIMS to achieve a competitive advantage. In the same breath, we saw the many data privacy regulations, both locally and globally, such as GDPR, HIPPA and international, local and sector-specific laws being enacted, debated and evolved. All this activity highlighted a clear movement towards a compliance landscape where you could no longer have information security without data privacy.
The evolving risk landscape further confirmed this realisation for us. We saw how the growth rate of digital transformation resulted in more sensitive information being stored and shared online than ever and that data becoming both a lucrative target for cybercriminals and a key concern for consumers and businesses. Organisations are now held accountable for securing the data they manage, store and process and how they collect that data, the purposes for which they use it and the rights of the individual.
So, how could we help our clients? With a simplified, secure, and sustainable approach to information and data compliance, of course! We combined the two most rigorous international infosec and privacy standards in the world, ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 27701 (data privacy), respectively, into one streamlined platform to simplify the process for embedding effective information security and data privacy within a business. The result? SPoT!
What Does SPoT Offer That Sets It Apart From Other SaaS Platforms

We Believe In It So Much We Put Our Money Where Our Mouth Is
With SPoT built and working beautifully, it was only right to put our money where our mouth is.
In December 2022, we used SPoT to go for certification against ISO 27701 and re-certification against ISO 27001, which we’ve held for over ten years, and ‘spoiler alert’ we achieved certification for both first-time, with no non-conformities.
We won’t say too much as we have an entire blog de-brief coming next week, but not only was it our first time going for ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 at the same time, but it was also a first for our auditor. They could not have been more complimentary about the platform and how it made the audit process more straightforward.
Don’t Take Our Word For It; Our Clients Love the ISMS.online Platform Too
You might think our word is a bit biased; we get it, so we urge you to check out the wealth of case studies and customer insights on our website, which showcase what our platform can do, how clients are using it and the many benefits they’ve experienced using ISMS.online.
Most recently, the CISO of McConnell Jones stated, “having a single source of truth has helped us streamline our compliance and security requirements”. And “Since ISMS.online is a source of truth, we would like to use it for other compliance areas” as the business scales.
