ISMS.online Launches ISO 27001 HeadStart Frameworks In French, German And Spanish 

2024 is already off to a hot start at ISMS.online. On the 15th of January, we launched our European data centre, designed to support current and future European customers with increased speed, in-region data residency and specialised support.   

This centre demonstrates our dedication to our European customers and serves as a springboard that allows us to take customer service to the next level, which has led to ISMS.online being recognised as a G2 Europe Leader in their recent G2 Grid Report for winter 2024. This recognition reflects our unwavering dedication to providing top-tier services and support, solidifying ISMS.online’s position as a trusted leader in information security management.  

In 2022, ISO 27001 underwent significant updates to address the ever-changing threats in information security. It plays a pivotal role in harmonising security practices across different regions, quickly becoming the gold standard for information security. More and more businesses require ISO 27001 to demonstrate their security posture, and we only see this accelerating.   

As part of our international ambition and commitment to further supporting the demand for managing compliance across Europe, today we’re excited to announce our latest milestone:    

Our market-leading HeadStart content, which has helped over 1,000 customers achieve ISO 27001, has been translated into French, German and Spanish, allowing us to support organisations operating in these regions and cater to the specific needs of non-English speaking teams.  

An 81% HeadStart To Achieving ISO 27001  

Since ISMS.online’s inception, our core aim has always been helping customers achieve ISO 27001 in the simplest and fastest possible way but not turning it into a tick box exercise. We firmly believe in instilling the standard’s core principles into your business and processes and having a people-first approach to information security management. This ensures that your staff are not just following procedures but are also gaining insights into the ‘why’ behind each policy. 

Our market-leading HeadStart content has been a massive part of simplifying ISO 27001 and our core features – the Assured Results Method and Virtual Coach.  

We’re excited our localised content is now here to support our European customer base further, providing an 81% HeadStart on your journey to ISO 27001 with pre-built tools, frameworks, policies, and controls in your language.   

Depending on your current security posture, you can use our HeadStart content in a few different ways. We’ve split it into three sections: Adopt, Adapt and Add.   

1.Adopting Best Practices  

The adopt phase is straightforward with our step-by-step guidance. We provide a clear pathway to incorporate ISO 27001 policies and controls from our HeadStart content into your existing practices, ensuring a seamless transition and integration with your business processes. This is the fastest way to get up and running, particularly if you are new to ISO 27001.   

2.Adapting The Content To Fit Your Needs  

Suppose you already have some experience with ISO 27001 and some policies already in place. In that case, you can quickly adapt our preconfigured policies and controls to align with your organisation’s risk profile and security objectives. Adapting the content means you’re not starting from scratch; you’re leveraging a solid foundation over 1,000+ customers have successfully used and making it your own.  

3.Adding Your Unique Elements  

Finally, the add component allows you to enhance the framework with the specific controls, policies, and procedures your business requires. It’s easy to add them to the platform.   

Customer Success Stories 

We’ve helped over a thousand customers achieve ISO 27001, and our HeadStart content has always been popular.  

Hear from some of our customers, such as Evan from Peppy: “The platform gave us a massive head start compared with relying on cheaper libraries or – god forbid – creating all the documentation from scratch.” 

Also, Emmie from Amigo said, “The actual time invested in our ISMS implementation was probably only 2-3 weeks thanks to the massive HeadStart the ISMS.online platform gave us. We definitely would not have made it without the ISMS.online system or much higher investment. We passed our surveillance audit with flying colours and zero points to address.” 

Looking Ahead   

As we continue our ambitious growth plans, we have several areas of focus for 2024 and beyond to enhance our customer experience. These include:  

  • Platform translation – Our entire user interface will be available in several languages, making it easy for your team to navigate.   
  • Open API / Integrations – Whilst we already offer a no-code integration in the form of Zapier that allows you to connect with over 5,000 apps, as well as Microsoft SharePoint and Google Drive, we understand many customers also need the ability for more customisation, which is why we’re realising enhanced integration capabilities this year.  
  • Artificial Intelligence capabilities – In the coming months, we’ll share more details on how our AI tool will help with your compliance.  
  • And much more 

Unlocking Your Compliance Advantage in 2024  

As the digital world continues to evolve with new threats and challenges, we aim to stay at the forefront, ensuring we’re offering the modern solution you need to manage your information security compliance.   

The rollout of our localised HeadStart content is a big step forward in allowing improved support for international customers. If you are starting out, our ‘Adapt, Adopt, and Add’ content provides a solid basis for building your information security policies
