ISMS improvements for Fiscal Technologies

FISCAL approached ISMS.online to help it improve its information security management systems and prepare to expand its ISMS to incorporate other compliance regimes.

It was already running a mature and successful UKAS accredited ISO 27001 ISMS and was one month away from an annual audit. It was keen to demonstrate improvement over the previous year.

The initial search was for a risk management tool that could take it beyond its more manual approach. FISCAL needed the tool to support its methodology across both existing standards and the new compliance regimes it was targeting.

After seeing ISMS.online in action, it soon became apparent to Chief Technology Officer, Howard Durdle, that using the platform’s full functionality could give him a fully integrated, end-to-end solution for managing his entire ISMS.

“I immediately saw how ISMS.online could reduce management time, not just through easy and effective risk management but by linking the whole ISMS in one place. As our team continues to grow it’s essential for us to be able to retain visibility and control, and ISMS.online makes that really easy. We are looking at adopting other standards to support business growth and so it was a big plus knowing I could do them all in ISMS.online, linking with our ISO 27001 to reduce any need for duplication.”

Within one month of starting, FISCAL had transferred its ISO_27001″>ISO 27001 into its ISMS.online platform and passed an external audit with no non-conformities.

“Our audit was a great success; we improved on our previous performance and the auditor observed that our ISMS was really easy to follow using linked references throughout the system. We definitely attribute part of our success to ISMS.online and look forward to building on our ISMS in the months to come.”
