"Collaborative Slack Support and an easy to use platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Cognisys?

The dedicated Slack channel makes communication easy and responsive — it feels collaborative rather than transactional. The Vanta platform is well set up and once you're familiar it, it's straightforward to navigate and track progress against controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cognisys?

The initial learning curve on Vanta takes some time to get through before it becomes intuitive. Nothing significant to flag — generally a positive experience so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cognisys:

Make sure you do some foundational work to understand the platform and its capabilities before diving straight in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cognisys solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cognisys is supporting Lobaso through ISO 27001 certification readiness — helping us structure our information security management system, identify non-conformances, and work towards certification. The benefit is a credible, audit-ready security posture that we can use commercially with enterprise clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Logical, and Refreshingly Simple"

5/5

What do you like best about Cognisys?

Speed of doing things, logic and simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cognisys?

None so far, we have had a really good experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cognisys solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a small startup working with large corporations as clients, so we need our compliance to be strong. However, we don’t have a dedicated role for compliance or cybersecurity, so everyone is involved, and I, as the Head of Operations, am responsible for managing everything related to it. Cognisys offers a reliable platform and partner to help us manage compliance, which is important for achieving our business goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
