ISMS.online secures Major New Investment with ECI Partners

In the dynamic world of information security management, ISMS.online has consistently pioneered a platform that empowers businesses to manage security compliance effortlessly.

Today, we are thrilled to announce a pivotal new chapter in our journey: welcoming transformative investment partners, ECI.

ECI are not just investors; they are catalysts for our continued growth and expansion, aligning seamlessly with our vision of simplifying compliance for businesses globally.

Poised to Transform the Compliance Landscape

Since its inception in 2005, ISMS.online has stood at the forefront of the industry, providing a robust and user-friendly compliance management platform. Our approach revolutionised how organisations managed ISO 27001 compliance, risk management, and asset control and has now expanded to include over 100 regulations and frameworks in one platform, including ISO 27701, ISO 9001, SOC2, NIST, GDPR and more. This means we now enable our customers to manage all their compliance needs within one platform, removing hours of duplicated work. Achievements like significant customer acquisition, high user satisfaction rates, 5* customer reviews and innovative product developments also mark our journey over the last 8 years.

As a pioneer in security compliance solutions, ISMS.online has secured over 20,000 users, spanning healthcare providers, financial institutions, retailers, critical national infrastructure organisations, technology innovators and more. Our cloud-based platform centralises audit, risk assessment, and compliance processes, enabling businesses to implement world-class cybersecurity frameworks quickly. By making continuous compliance achievable, the ISMS.online platform reduces operational risks and ensures organisations can focus on driving business growth. 

As we look ahead, our vision is to deepen our impact in the compliance landscape, evolving even more intuitive solutions and expanding our global reach. We are thrilled to partner with ECI in this next chapter of innovation. As seasoned investors in high-growth SaaS businesses, ECI bring invaluable expertise to accelerate our product development and market expansion. With ECI as a trusted advisor and collaborator, the ISMS.online platform is ideally positioned to transform how businesses worldwide approach information security management.

Catalysing the Next Stage of Global Growth

The ECI investment will fuel the next stage of ISMS.online’s ambitious vision. Specifically, the partnership enables strategic initiatives across four key areas: 

Global Expansion

Central to our vision is augmenting native language support and in-region service to simplify global compliance management. Building a multilingual platform and assistance teams will allow us to capture growing demand in major markets. In addition, our new EU data centre (alongside our existing data centres in UK, Australia and the US) will open in January 2024 allowing our customers the choice of where they want their data to be hosted.
We will also expand our operations in Australia and North America with our unique approach to robust, scalable compliance that stands out from the current automation-only focus in the market.

Enhanced Platform Innovation

Additionally, we will amplify platform investments to extend our category lead. Investing in our skilled engineering team will drive advancements in process automation, data integrations, user experience, and predictive risk analytics, as well as developing AI capabilities. New features will give customers real-time visibility and control over their compliance posture.

Commitment to Customer Success

As we rapidly scale, the partnership reinforces our customer-centric commitment. Expanded service resources and local support centres maintain our high bar for customer satisfaction. Ongoing user community forums and advisory panels will inform our roadmap and product development.

Strategic Go-To-Market Partnerships

We also welcome new go-to-market partnerships across leading channel networks worldwide. Cultivating these collaborative relationships expands our distribution capabilities into new regions and segments, supported by the recent appointment of an experienced partner channel director.

By combining access to global markets with customer-focused innovation, we will shape the future of simplified cyber compliance management for businesses worldwide. Powered by ECI’s expertise and resources, we will reinforce our platform strengths, drive international growth and streamline compliance for companies worldwide.

Leadership Perspectives on the Partnership

“ECI immediately recognised the enormous market potential for our frictionless approach to security compliance,” said Luke Dash, CEO of ISMS.online. “With their extensive expertise accelerating high-growth SaaS companies, this investment empowers us to expand our platform capabilities and client base. We eagerly anticipate achieving new milestones together.” 
 
Both parties are excited to kick start this strategic partnership. By combining ISMS.online’s compliance expertise with ECI’s extensive resources and business-building acumen, this alliance promises to accelerate the innovation of effortless compliance management for security teams worldwide. As Luke Dash summarises, “This investment represents a ringing endorsement of our past success and future potential – we can’t wait to see what we achieve together.”

Forging Ahead as Compliance Innovators

The category tailwinds are strong, with the global compliance market projected to surpass $46B by 2027. Coupled with ongoing high-profile breaches, this makes governance, risk management and compliance non-negotiable; ISMS.online is uniquely equipped to simplify compliance for enterprises worldwide. We are ready to disrupt status quo systems and set a new standard for effortless infosec management.  
 
The entire ISMS.online team is excited at the prospects this partnership unlocks. We will build on our foundation of empowering lean security teams with effortless compliance solutions. As infosec threats and regulatory mandates increase, we are committed to setting the new integrated risk and compliance management standard.
