At ISMS.online, we’ve always believed that compliance shouldn’t feel like a constant uphill battle. It should be structured, achievable, and, most importantly for us, it should help your business achieve its goals, not take you away from them. It’s that belief which has guided our work with thousands of customers around the globe, helping companies turn compliance from a checkbox exercise into a real business advantage.
Today, we’re incredibly proud to officially unveil a new chapter in that endeavour: our new brand identity and website. Meet IO, the evolution of ISMS.online.
From ISMS.online to IO- why we evolved
The landscape of compliance has changed. Organisations are under more pressure than ever, whether it’s intensifying regulations or the increasingly complex security demands businesses face. At the same time, resources are often tight, and teams are being pushed to capacity daily.
We recognised that to truly serve our customers in this environment, we needed to evolve. That evolution goes far beyond design. It’s a deeper alignment with what you, our customers, have told us you need most: a compliance partner that’s easy to work with, deeply knowledgeable, and relentlessly focused on outcomes.
That is precisely what IO has been designed to do: deliver compliance that builds trust, scales securely, and enables our customers to grow with confidence.
Designed for the way you work now
Our new website is just one piece of this transformation, but it’s an important one. We’ve reimagined the digital experience to reflect the simplicity, clarity, and efficiency that IO brings to the table.
From the moment you land on the site, you’ll notice:
- Simplified language that speaks directly to real compliance goals, whether you’re getting certified for the first time, scaling to multiple frameworks, or optimising an existing programme.
- A cleaner, more intuitive interface that helps you find what you need faster, be it product information, industry guidance, or support.
- A bold new look, led by a fresh mint colour palette, designed to feel modern, confident, and human.
Behind the visuals is a very real aim. As our Head of Design, Graeme Cullip, puts it: “Every element, from the colour system to the language, was crafted to remove friction and bring focus. Compliance can be overwhelming, but we believe the way we present ourselves should help people feel more in control, not less.”
That’s what this redesign is all about: supporting you with tools and experiences that help you achieve your aims, clearly and with confidence.
A platform that works with you
It’s not just the look that’s new; a host of updates and improvements across the IO platform itself accompany the rebrand.
We’ve invested in making IO more embedded in your daily workflow, because the best compliance programme is the one that fits seamlessly into the way your team already works. New enhancements include:
• Integrations with Microsoft Teams and Outlook Calendar help keep compliance tasks aligned with everyday schedules.
• Improved task linking and navigation, so it’s easier to track progress, assign responsibility, and see the bigger picture.
• Teams-based risk alerts create faster feedback loops on risk, enabling real-time awareness and better decision-making, without disrupting workflows.
• Certification tracking centralises valid certificates for on-demand audit evidence, clearer leadership visibility, and prevents renewal lapses.
• Enhanced collaboration tools, giving teams greater visibility and control over risk, policy, and audit evidence in one central place.
These aren’t just “nice to have” features; they’re part of our commitment to helping you save time, reduce complexity, and stay audit-ready without burning out your team.
As our Chief Product Officer, Sam Peters, explains: “We’re investing not just in technology, but in time saved, confidence gained, and trust delivered. IO is about helping teams move from firefighting to forward momentum, because when compliance works, everything works better.”
What compliance confidence really means
The phrase “compliance confidence” is more than just a tagline. It’s the heart of everything we do.
For too long, compliance has been treated as a burden and a cost of doing business. At IO, we’re flipping that narrative. We don’t just believe, we know, that when done right, compliance is a driver of trust, resilience, and growth. It’s the backbone of strong security and the foundation of sustainable success.
With IO, we’re helping customers unlock that potential by:
• Making first-time certification faster and less stressful
• Maturing and optimising existing programmes with better workflows and support
• Scaling compliance efforts across teams, geographies, and frameworks with confidence
In a world where the cost of failure is high, the ability to demonstrate control and do so clearly and consistently is no longer optional. It’s essential.
Looking Ahead
Today’s launch is just the beginning. This rebrand sets the stage for the next wave of platform developments, including more intelligent automation, expanded integrations, and even greater guidance for tackling new and emerging compliance frameworks.
And while the name, logo, and website may be new, our mission remains the same: to be the most trusted partner for businesses navigating the complexities of compliance and information security.
As our CEO, Chris Newton-Smith, puts it: “This rebrand isn’t just about how we look; it’s about how we lead. We’ve listened to what our customers are really asking for: confidence. Confidence that they’re doing it right and not doing it alone.”
That’s what IO represents: partnership, clarity, and momentum in the face of a business landscape that too often feels complex and challenging.
