What do you like best about ISMS.online?

We initially started using the platform as a means to work towards ISO 27001 certification. However, several years later, we are still a client because the platform has become the core of our infosec risk management program. It helps us track our risks, opportunities and remediations with cross-referencing that ensures nothing falls through the cracks. It's easy to use, which is important given how often we use it.

What do you like best about ISMS.online?

The platform streamlines all aspects of our ISO certification processes, from policy creation to internal audits.

Key strengths include the intuitive document version control, automated notification system for document reviews, and comprehensive audit trail functionality. The dashboard provides clear visibility of tasks and deadlines, which has helped us maintain consistent compliance.

We particularly appreciate the built-in templates for procedures and forms, which saved considerable time during initial setup. The automated reminder system ensures nothing falls through the cracks during periodic reviews and updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

While the initial learning curve required some adjustment, the support team provided excellent training resources and responsive assistance. The system has ultimately reduced our administrative workload and helped standardise our processes across departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ISMS.online solving and how is that benefiting you?

The system addresses several critical business challenges that were previously time-consuming and error-prone. First, it eliminates the chaos of managing ISO documentation through shared drives and email by providing a centralised document control system. This means we can instantly access the latest versions of procedures and policies, with clear audit trails showing who made what changes and when. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Hi Jamie,

It's great to hear ISMS.online is streamlining your ISO certification! Compliance is definitely easier when everything’s in one place.

What do you like best about ISMS.online?

We've been using ISMS.online for 4+ years, and without it to manage our ISO27001 compliance - we'd be lost. The tool provides everything you need - from Risk Registers, to various project tracks to keep on top of to-do lists, it has everything. We utitlise many portions of the platform, and particularly find the structure of policies, and how you can build relationships across multiple sections of the system, which helps you build a bigger picture of how certain policies and controls influence other aspects of your information security system. Implementing ISMS.online was super easy and was made even easier with the help of Resilient IT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

Nothing - a very supportive team, and willing to listen to their customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ISMS.online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing our ISO27001 compliance has been easy which means that i'm not worrying about whether we are keeping on top of reviewing risks, or assets, or legislative risks. It helps track and manage EVERYTHING. With ISMS.online we have successfully recertified and maintained our ISO27001 certification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Hi Joseph,

It’s fantastic to see that after years of using ISMS.online, the platform continues to deliver value for you!

What do you like best about ISMS.online?

It is great that you can do the following:

(1) Allocate someone to a task.

(2) Create a reminder to review any entries.

(3) Have a discussion on a specific task and everything is logged and accessible to anyone with access.

(4) Having a Statement of Applicability (ISO27001) at the touch of a button.

(5) Support is always on hand to handle issues and queries.

(6) Having other frameworks available to link to current framework.

(7) Audit structure - you just follow it like a checklist.

(8) Risk management all in one place and linked to the controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

Nothing - it is very useful for what we do in our organisation. We have not yet utilised all the functionalities in ISMS.online and there are quite a lot. Our aim is to use ISMS.Online for other things that we do in the Organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ISMS.online solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had an Excel spreadsheet as a Risk Register but when this became too big, we needed something else that would help us to be more organised, to ensure each risk owner is identified and is responsible for reviewing the risks regularly. ISMS.online does really well and is a lot less complicated than others we have seen. We are now able to allocate the risk/task to an individual/owner. ISMS.Online also makes it easy to create a Statement of Applicability. ISMS.Online also has a great internal audit functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Hi Adila,

Your story about moving from a cumbersome spreadsheet to ISMS.online’s organised risk management tools resonates deeply. It’s great to see how features like task allocation and the Statement of Applicability are helping you streamline your workflows. Wishing you success as you continue exploring all the platform’s functionalities!

All the best,

What do you like best about ISMS.online?

I like that it has everything that we need is a company to ensure we are able to attain and maintain our ISO27001 accreditation. It has been hugely helpful in this and has ensured we have thought about everything that we need to get our certification. Getting reminders of items that need attention has been really helpful.

It was really easy to implement the software and we are hoping that later in the year to integrate with other platforms which will hopefully make the system even easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

It can sometimes be hard to navigate but that might be in part because I am not a frequent user compared to other team members. The customer support we received in our first year wasn't always great but once we raised our concerns these were dealt with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ISMS.online solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is ensuring that we think of everything that is needed in order to keep our accreditation. The fact it also updates the system if there are changes to ISO27001 is also really helpful as this is something that may get missed or overlooked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like ISMS.online has become a cornerstone of your ISO 27001 accreditation journey. I am excited to hear that the implementation was straightforward! We've recently launched a suite of native integrations. If you'd like to learn more about those, don't hesitate to contact your customer success manager.

What do you like best about ISMS.online?

ISMS.online made ISO 27001 implementation much smoother, with structured workflows, easy document management, and compliance tracking. It’s a great tool for managing ISMS efficiently. The flexibility of the Customer support to help and tailor any change to specific indiststy or organisation is mind blowing. The tool is used to manage day to day use of the system and the ability to integrate to Lucy Group ITSM i.e Servicenow makes security incidence management very easy and risks management is managed in real-time via the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

Nothing i can think of. Probably remove the controls that are not related to ISO27001 so implementers can achieve 100% completion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ISMS.online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lucy required ISO 27001 to enhance customer trust and satisfaction, and ISMS.online provided a structured and manageable approach to achieving security maturity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ISMS.online?

The dashboards are very good and the change tracking is also great as you can see every change and approval for each policy in situ. In our old system this was far more difficult to manage. It also makes it easier to delegate tasks to other people. We were also able to integrate to our SSO system which was a bonus as it saved having to set up all new accounts for staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

The biggest issue I have at the moment is that if someone is editing a policy you can't tell so if two people work on the same policy at the same time they can accidentally overwrite changes. Either a 'lock' feature, or at least a 'currently being edited by <x>' would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ISMS.online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing auditability and an online system for managing and tracking our ISMS. This benefits us as we are a small organisation with limited time and resource to devote to managing our ISMS. A lot of the hard work is built in to ISMS.online so we just have to focus on the policies and ensuring we follow the processes to ensure compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of sort by and filtering function in the Achieved items.

Table in notes is difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ISMS.online?

It is a great tool to manage you ISM in a structured way and allows you to work through and cover all the areas required for comlicancy. It has some very useful features that make is user friendly for all member of the company and is very good at creating tasks to ensure things are kept on top of Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

Some features can be a touch annoying such as still have open todo's that remian open even though the policy has been approved so they cant be closed, and perhaps some intergration with other packages such as conflunece, it would be really handy to be able to Iframe some reports or create dashboards that could be linked to report on the topics of interest for management meetings and sometimes when working through a list if you update something and then return back to the list it can remove any sorting so you have to scroll to where you were. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ISMS.online solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solve the issue of managing and approving policies and keeps them all in a stuctured framework. the linkig feature to other topics or areas are also very good, the inclusion of attached documents when using policy packs is also very handy so that user do not need to navigate a file directory to locate a specfic instruction set or forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Thank you, Paul, for highlighting ISMS.online’s structured approach to ISM management and its user-friendly design for all team members. Your suggestion for integration with tools like Confluence is perfect timing as we're starting to roll out new native integrations. If you'd like to discuss your ideas surrounding Confluence, then please reach out to your customer success manager.

Thanks again for your review.

What do you like best about ISMS.online?

We utilize ISMS.Online for our ISO 27001 compliance. ISMS.Online breaks down the regulation into each seperazte requirement and you are able to add what you do to satisfy the requirement and attach any policies or documents to the requirement. When an auditor comes in it allows you to show what you are doing for each requiredments. Our auditors have loved how organized we are.

We also utilize ISMS.Online for our ISMS, using the tool to track CAPA's, Incidents, Security risks, etc. We also utilize ISMS.Online for our weekly ISMS meetings and quarterly management reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

Each regulation is a seperate module and the modules do not share data. We upgraded from ISO 27001:2013 to ISO 27001:2022 and had to update all the data. The company did help with the initial import of data, but I have been told that if we purchased the HIPAA module, it would not share data with the ISO modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ISMS.online solving and how is that benefiting you?

ISMS.online helps with maintaining regulatory compliance and helps in making audits more organized. Our auditors have commented on how much they like ISMS.Online and how we are utilizing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Hi Jim,

We’re thrilled to hear how ISMS.online has been instrumental in maintaining your ISO 27001 compliance and simplifying audits - and that your auditors loved the platform. Fantastic! Thank you for sharing your thoughts surrounding modules and sharing data. We've passed this information on to our product team.

What do you like best about ISMS.online?

ISMS.online has transformed the way Cinos manages it ISMS and ISO certifications, significantly streamlining our processes and policies. With ISMS.online, we’ve achieved a more efficient, centralized approach to managing compliance, allowing our team to focus on continuous improvement and proactive risk management, rather than administrative tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

While ISMS.online has greatly enhanced our ISMS management, there’s an opportunity for improvement in the accounts section. Integrating features similar to Risk Ledger, where account management could be streamlined, would elevate the platform further. Offering customers the ability to send questionnaires to prospective suppliers and contractors directly from the platform, as well as easily accessing information on existing certifications, would provide a more comprehensive tool for managing supplier and contractor compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ISMS.online solving and how is that benefiting you?

ISMS.online is solving several critical challenges related to information security management and ISO certification, providing tangible benefits to our organization:

Centralized Management of ISMS Requirements

Simplified Compliance and Certification Process

Enhanced Risk Management and Tracking

Automated Documentation and Reporting

Improved Supplier and Contractor Management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
