**Reviewed Date:** March 15, 2026

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

Intuitive layout
Helpful support staff
Easy to search

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

None come to mind. It carries a lot of data, but that would be required whatever system we used.

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

ISMS is supporting us in maintaining our ISO accreditation, and in improving our information security practices.

  ### 2. A Guided Path to Compliance

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

1- Pre-built templates and Headstart content that reduce time spent creating policies from scratch.

2- Responsive and knowledgeable support, praised by many users as a major differentiator.

3- A centralised workspace that simplifies collaboration across teams and makes audits smoother.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

The platform can be unintuitive at times, especially for new users. Navigation isn’t always clear, and the interface feels a bit dated. We also found limited integration options with our existing tools, which makes automation and workflow alignment more difficult. While the templates are helpful, they can feel rigid, and customising them to fit our organisation’s specific needs isn’t always straightforward.

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

ISMS.online helps us centralise and manage our ISO 27001 compliance work in one place. It provides structure and clarity around controls, risk management, and evidence collection, which has made it much easier to prepare for audits and demonstrate ongoing compliance. The platform also helps align different teams and stakeholders, ensuring accountability and progress tracking across the ISMS lifecycle.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Thank you for this thoughtful review. Managing ISO 27001 compliance across teams at your scale brings real coordination challenges, and it's good to hear the centralised workspace and support are helping your organisation stay on track. On navigation, we've recently rolled out updates with more improvements landing in March. On integrations, we'd genuinely love to understand which platforms you're working with day to day. Sharing that with your Customer Success Manager would help us make sure your feedback reaches the right team and shapes what we build next. 

All the best,

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

I really like the fact that we can use multiple frameworks within a single application.

While I enjoy having multiple frameworks in one application. It does lack large frameworks that we could heavily rely on and use such as fedramp

It has been helping us with various ISO audits and SOC 2.

CODE HVWP2026

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

Simple and straightfoward to use with some very helpful training tips and videos just a click away.

The embedded tools and information banks are hugely helpful to get you started on a variety of topics and with everything interlinked, the navigation of the system made it so much easier with implementation  and integration across the business.

Support from the customer success team was fantastic, having regular short support calls was very useful as there is a lot of informatin to process but on top of that any ad hoc questions all got dealt with very quickly and responses were to the point without jargon.

Nothing really to dislike, the more time you spend on the system, the more familar you get with it and the easier it is to use.

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

It gave us a wonderful platform for us to be able to demonstrate our compliance with ISO27001 standards.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** James Y. | Head of Client Success, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

I like how Louyis is really helpful. He is never far away and has made what is quite a lot of admin  work, an enjoyable, logical process. Louis has taken the time to understand our business, the basics, so that I can focus on what really matters. 
The system itself is easy to use. It is online so it is also easy to implement internally as you can assign people as you need to. Again, it is very logical, feature rich with intuitive dashboards.
This combination of tools and people has worked wonders for us so much so, we are likely to use ISMS.online for our next accreditation.

There is not anything really to dislike. Any issues are handled easily and quickly, not sure what else can be said here.

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

**Reviewed by:** Gavin G. | Senior Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

I like that ISMS.online links all documentation for different certifications, which means we can track how close or far we are and what we need to do to achieve a new certification. I also find the initial setup pretty simple.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Compared to its competitors, it's not as simple to use. A lot of information on the screen, it can confuse new users!

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

ISMS.online reminds me to conduct my reviews and stores my data. It links documentation for certifications, so we can track our progress towards new certs.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Gavin, thank you for taking the time to share this. Knowing that ISMS.online is helping your enterprise team track certification progress and stay on top of reviews is exactly what we're built for.

**Reviewed by:** HAWYS R. | Compliance Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

ISMS online is a brilliant platform , it's made managing our risk register , security incidents and audit plans in a much more effective and proficient way. Its easy to use and pull reports from and we have regular meetings with our ISMS representative to discuss any potential issues or anything we would like tailored to our business needs.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Not being able to duplicate updates on one of our ISMS programmes to another. This means a lot of duplication writing updates etc.

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

Ease of tracking our audit and risk registers. We were operating from spreadsheets previously and everything felt very messy and hard to effectively track, ISMS online solves this.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David L.

**Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

I like that ISMS.online is extendable, allowing me to configure lists, tracks, projects, and activities. The setup was easy, which I appreciate.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

There are small features lacking here and there, which could be about filtering information or having more automation perhaps.

I use ISMS.online for GRC purposes like compliance and risk management. It helps keep track of assets and to-dos, and provides information on staying compliant with ISO standards and other frameworks.

  ### 15. A solid system with excellent support

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicola G. | General Counsel, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2024

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

ISMS.online has allowed us to compile, structure and organize all of our ISO policies and vendor accounts into one place. It has helped us understand and meet the standards' requirements in a way that has optimally prepared us for internal and external audits year over year. Whenever we had a question, needed technical support or had a suggestion on potential improvements, the team behind ISMS.online was quick to respond and  went above and beyond to support us.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

As of the time of this writing, ISMS.online is a very hands-on system. While some of this is fine, in many instances, such as tracking KPIs, the processes could and should be automated.

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

ISMS.online helps us gather and organize all the information we need for our annual ISO 27001 and 27701 audits. That's why we got it initially, but since then it's proven to be helpful beyond its initial purpose by giving us a home for important policies, vendor contracts, and a record of our ongoing review and improvement processes.

**Official Response from Customer Support:**

> Hey Nicola, 

Thanks for the awesome review! 🎉 We're happy to hear how ISMS.online has been a game-changer for your audits and policy organisation.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2022

  ### 18. Easy to use with great features and support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul B. | Head of IT and security, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2023

**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 compliance. 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.

Customer support is exactly the way it should be fast and efficient and often incorporate good ideas into their roadmap.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Integration with confluence, 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.

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

It solves the issue of managing and approving policies and keeps them all in a structured framework.
The linking 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 users do not need to navigate a file directory to locate a specific instruction set or forms.
Keeping track of user compliance when issuing policies is a great feature as there are always a few who need a nudge. We have adapted this feature to help keep track of internal group awareness training on a range of topics also

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> 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. 

All the best,

  ### 19. ISO27001 Implementation

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Graeme C. | Head of Risk and MD of Trading, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

Setting up ISO27001 was a simple easy to follow procedure with sufficient guidance throughout the process. Whilst we as a company do not use all the areas available the ones we do use are well laid out and have assisted in the set up and follow up throughout our implementation and reviews. The reminders for each user are clear and the emails helpful to remind users of action required.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

I cannot recall any part of the database being difficult to follow so really nothing to dislike.

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

ISO27001 implementation and annual reviews by an external assessor. Also provides an excellent one stop database for management reviews and policies. The Risk Matrix function is used by the company for more than just IT security issues.

  ### 20. Canadian Consulting Firm and ISO 27001:2022

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tracy P. | Senior Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

ISMS online provides the examples, connection to the standard and coaching all the way through implementation. The check-ins with the ISMS.online team is very helpful in addressing implementation challenges, with approaches and examples. 
We have been able to build out a team approach quickly as ISMS.online is easy to learn and become productive with almost immediately. 
We do appreciate that the ISMS can be the source of truth for our records and the tools included with the product have added value to our organization.
This is a product our implementation team works all the time, and we enjoy the ease of the workflow for reviews and approvals of our ongoing work.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

There really is nothing to dislike about ISMS.online.

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

Ease of implementation and integrated processes, tools and adoption in one application.

  ### 21. The support and expertise provided by ISMS.online has been very valuable.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael G. | Reporting Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

The expertise from our consultant has been incredibly useful - and we have improved our existing policies in the migration/implementation. 

I also like that support is accessible very quickly, via our account manager or tech support etc.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

In all honesty - I really don't like the UI and technical side of the product. Formatting within the policy box is time consuming and doesn't match with other applications - and so it is an unnecessary skill to have to learn that CTRL + 8 = bullet point, as an example.

When our consultant was having issues with the formatting and he uses the platform every day - this tells you the story! 

It is my only downside thus far.

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

I believe that the product is helping organisations such as ourselves to organise our InfoSec system. I have seen lots of resources online where people have 8 page documents for each policy, and it becomes difficult to manage. 

By holding all InfoSec policies and areas - including a Supplier area, Risk Map, OFI's, etc. - we are able to quickly navigate between content without having to go through an 80 page word document.

  ### 22. ISMS.online Review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jamie H. | Information Security Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2025

**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.

**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.

**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.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Hi Jamie,

It's great to hear ISMS.online is streamlining your ISO certification! Compliance is definitely easier when everything’s in one place.

All the best,

The ISMS.online team

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.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Nothing - a very supportive team, and willing to listen to their customers.

**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.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Hi Joseph,

It’s fantastic to see that after years of using ISMS.online, the platform continues to deliver value for you!

Thank you for the 5 star review.

All the best,
The ISMS.online team

  ### 24. ISMS.Online essential for maintaining our InfoSec standards

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Richard H. | VP Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

- Its simple and easy to use, importantly for colleagues who need to provide input but InfoSec is not their day to day activity

- Features that enabled us to connect different aspects of certifications to one set of policies and controls.  Enabled us to track and maintain consistency in standards across different InfoSec accreditations. 

- Support available from account executives and customer support team of adjust functionality and features in the product open request

- Ability to use tool in audits and in front of auditors.  Aiding conversations and speeding up audit timelines

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

I found there to be no down sides associated with the implementation and use of this tool.

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

Before we implemented ISMS.online our information and data relating to our Security Compliance was spread out over multiple tools, poorly maintained and difficult to use as part of our overall implementation of InfoSec and as part of audit processes.

ISMS.Online enabled us to consolidate information into one tool, with a simple structure that enabled us to both focus on improving out overall security compliance and aid how we presented that to 3rd parties and regulatory bodies.  Its simple structure and pre-populated templates made is much easier for us to maintain information.

  ### 25. Great experience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** James P. | IT manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

The customer support and overall platform integration have been great in both terms of the ISO training itself and the platform modules. For the 27001, the modules have been split into an easy-to-use tree and allowing you to work towards the certificate completion in a fashionable manner.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

The GUI can be a little tricky to navigate at first.

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

How we as a business manage our ITSM and the policies and procedures required to complete this.

  ### 26. Very useful and practical

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emma A. | Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 18, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

Straightforward to use and very customer friendly. I use it frequently and would recommend it to others. It keep everyone on task and up to date.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

There is nothing I dislike about ISMS online.

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

Keeping all the tasks in one place and everyone has a clear track of their actions to follow up and their deadlines.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Thank you, Emma. It's great to hear that the task management and deadline tracking are making a real difference to how your team stays organised and accountable. Having everything in one place with clear visibility for everyone is something we've put a lot of thought into, so it's really pleasing to hear it landing well in day-to-day use.

  ### 27. Security Management Made Easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adila B. | Manager of Quality and Compliance, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2024

**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.

**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.

**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.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> 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,

  ### 28. The platform has been extremely helpful in us receiving and maintaining our ISO27001 accreditation!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hannah C. | Customer Success Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2025

**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.

**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

**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.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> 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.

All the best,

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2024

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

ISMS is fully customisable which allows us to use it as a solution to a vast array of our processes.  Once we got our head around how to use the platform and get the most out of it, it has then become the answer to more and more of our management issues and has proved to be invaluable. The support team are always a quick message away if you ever need any help.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

There have been several updates which have cause some bugs in the platform but these have all now been fully resolved.

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

Audit management (ISO 27001, H&S etc).  Site facilities and H&S management and tracking.  Global legislation management, Fleet and driver management.  AML tracking. Vetting tracking. Marketing content approval.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

  ### 30. Excellent for Audit Prep, But Admin Info Needs Clarity

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

The platform has a great layout and is very useful to help build up your evidence for audits and to map progress.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Information about account renewals and admin functionality is not clearly visible in the platform

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

The company is working towards achieving ISO27001 certification and is utilising ISMS online to assist with this process.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Thank you for sharing this. We're pleased the platform is helping your team build evidence and track progress towards ISO 27001 certification. On the admin and renewal, we'd love to connect you with your Customer Success Manager to make sure everything is clear and that you have full visibility of what you need going forward.

  ### 31. Complex interlinking system but works well once you find your way around

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katy A. | Operation Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

ISMS online has been really useful in managing all our information security documents and the way the template policies get you started is a big bonus. It is also simple to add new users and assign them policy packs to review.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

It took a long time to understand how the different components fit together and the best way to use the system and there was not much guidance here. Assigning roles to all the different sections of the systme is also a challenge, and making sure everyone has the access they need when they need it. A couple of auditors have commented on the lack of version numbering as an issue.

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

Maintaining an ISMS with small company (~30) and limited resources

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Thank you, Natalie. It's great to hear the platform is accessible to users at every level of expertise and that risk management in particular is working well for your team. On the points around legacy to-dos, filtering in Achieved items, and the notes table, these are practical day-to-day friction points that are worth raising directly with your Customer Success Manager as they may be able to help.

  ### 32. Intuitive, but funky

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

It's easy enough to manoeuvre around even tho there's a ton of subcategories to dive in to.

Their "help" with writing and getting ready for an ISO certification have been a great help and have made the process easier

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

It can be a bit of a hassle to get into the specific site you're looking for.

I'm missing some reminders when i've not properly reacted to an asset/policy review, getting the 1st one is useful but a continuous reminder(Daily) would work better for busy weeks.

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

Helps with our ISO implementation and certification.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Thank you for taking the time to share this. Knowing that the guided content and certification support are making a real difference to your ISO implementation is great to hear. We want the whole experience, from navigating the platform to getting audit-ready, to feel as straightforward as possible, so it's pleasing to know that's landing well.

  ### 33. Excellent tool to make ISO accreditation simpler

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Darren W. | IT Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 28, 2024

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

ISMS online is full of templates and guides to enable you to create an ISMS with a great headstart

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Can be difficult to navigate around the portal

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

We needed to create an ISMS, starting from scratch would have taken considerable longer and been much more difficult

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Hi Darren,

Thank you for your kind words! It’s fantastic to hear that our templates and guides have been a strong starting point for building your ISMS. Your journey from scratch to ISO accreditation success is exactly why we do what we do! We appreciate the feedback regarding navigating the platform; we've passed this feedback on to our product team.

  ### 34. A very good tool for Managing and Maintaining our ISMS.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

The guides are very helpful. On the whole it is pretty user friendly but the support is superb.  It has a decent amount of configurability allowing us to customise to our own requirements.  They are constantly improving the interface and do take suggestions and opinions onboard.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Some areas of the UI, for example the notes section, work in a strange way, industry standard shortcut keys do different things.  Not unusable but a little annoying.

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

Managing things like KPI's, Risk Registers, ISO27001 control compliance.

  ### 35. ISMS.online – A Game Changer for ISMS Implementation

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Deji O. | IT Securty Compliance Officer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2025

**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.

**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.

**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.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Thank you, Deji. Tailoring an ISMS implementation to the specific needs of a large, complex organisation is no small challenge, and it's great to hear that the flexibility of the platform and support team made that feel achievable. The ServiceNow integration point is particularly good to hear. Knowing that security incident management and risk tracking are running in real-time through a tool your team already uses is exactly the kind of outcome we're aiming for at enterprise level.

  ### 36. They do exactly what they promise - a rarity in these times!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Martin C. | Quality Systems Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

The signposting to accreditation is generally very clear and helpful. On the occasions where I'm unsure, the customer service is excellent.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

The only thing I would say is that it is clearly set up with one ISO standard in mind and the other standards have followed on from that, with videos and training not completely there for 14001, 45001 and 9001.

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

Is it helping me signpost the route to accreditation for 14001 and 45001.

  ### 37. Quick turnaround time from start to certification

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David B. | Head of Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

The video guides for ISO27001 are a game changer, as they guide you through some of the pretty complex and nuanced aspects of implementing an ISO standard. The pre-written templates for all the policies and clauses also saved a lot of time, and that time can be then spent refining the documents to your process, and thereby actually relevant. 

I found the support from the team to also be spot on, where they were able to provide assistance when required, but werent pushy as can happen with some services. 

The platform itself is generally easy to use and navigate, and their tracker for implementation of ISO27001 and the step by step nature of it kept us focused and on target.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Some of the in depth features can feel a bit disconnected or not obvious immediately.

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

It controls our ISMS and manages it all in one place, that is both accessible to the wider company, but also to auditors.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Thank you, David. Getting from a standing start to certification quickly, without the process feeling overwhelming, is exactly the outcome we design for. It's great to hear the video guides made the more complex aspects of ISO 27001 feel approachable, and that the templates gave your team a strong foundation to work from rather than a blank page. Congratulations on the certification!

All the best,

  ### 38. Great platform, saves time and makes a difference

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daz P. | Director of Compliance, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

Clusters separating the work but able to be linked to connect workstreams.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Can be slow to swap / switch between items

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

Allowing clear records of multiple compliance workstreams

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Daz, thank you for taking the time to share this. It's great to hear the platform is making a genuine difference to how your compliance work gets done. If there's ever anything we can do to support you further, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Customer Success Manager.

  ### 39. Simplification of our ISO27001 management from our own self-hosted system and transition to 2022

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2025

**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.

**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.

**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.

  ### 40. Excellent GRC platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** K L. | CISO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

ISMS.online provides excellent 'look-ahead' content which simplifies the process of creating policies and processes. Also, the tight integration between policies and other tracking mechanisms enables a strong ISMS. Finally, the Risk Assessment module is one of the best in the GRC marketplace.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

One thing I would like to see improved is the marking of policies as reviewed without having to go through the current process of approving, opening, and re-approving for policies which do not change from prior versions.

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

Creating, implementing and disseminating policies.

  ### 41. A quick and effective system to prepare for ISO accreditation

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

The assistance with formulating the content to meet the requirements assists in saving time proving what we do without detracting from our operational work

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Setting up the controls and policies are simple but sometimes the linked aspects (evidence provision and deposit) are not quite as intuitive

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

ISMS assists in formulating the content required by the ISO without having to do it from scratch, just to adapt it to mirror ones own organisation (and highlight aspects we need to adopt as an organisation)

  ### 42. An invaluable tool for achieving and maintaining ISMS

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Natalie N. | Information Security Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

The user friendly, clean and well-organised interface has made it easy to use for users with different levels of expertise in information security management.

It provides a range of tools and templates that simplify the process of achieving and maintaining compliance with standards like ISO 27001.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Do not have the functionality to remove/hide legecy to-dos.
Lack of sort by and filtering function in the Achieved items.
Table in notes is difficult to use.

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

ISMS online simplifies the compliance progress and provides pre-built tools, frameworks, and documentation. It streamlines compliance processes, saving time and resources

Risk Management is easy to use. It ensures that risks are properly identified, evaluated, and treated.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Thank you, Natalie. It's great to hear the platform is accessible to users at every level of expertise and that risk management in particular is working well for your team.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julia W. | Financial Controller, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2024

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

When we first switched from a manual process over to ISMS for ISO27001, it was really easy to use and navigate around.  There are helpful notes under each section to guide you through.  Lots of suggestions of how work links.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Not yet found any dislikes.  Just a couple of small niggles

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

Keeps our ISO27001 on track so that our external audits run smoothly, they can also be done remotely as the system is more accessible than manual records.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

Very low barrier to entry, with a wealth of supporting information and guided pathways from starting point right through to certification.
Great customer support, and a dedicated account manager means that help is always on hand.

Since using the product, me and my team haven't really found anything to dislike.

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

Helping to achieve and maintain ISO27001 compliance

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Thank you for sharing this. Going from starting point to certification is a journey that can feel daunting, especially for a small team, and knowing that the guided pathways and supporting content are making that feel genuinely accessible is really good to hear. It's also great to know your account manager has been there when you've needed them. Wishing you every success on the road to ISO 27001.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Scott M. | CIO and SOC2 Certified, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

Their desire to make their clients ISO path a success. They will go the extra mile to assist their clients. 

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

Add wizards and AI to the platform would make it more user friendly. 

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

It is not solving anything but has created a road block to my being about to make progress on our ISO cert.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> Thank you for updating your review, Scott, and for your honesty. A CIO working towards ISO certification has a lot riding on the tools they choose, and we take it seriously when the platform isn't keeping pace with that. Your suggestion around wizards and AI is well noted too. In the meantime, please do get in touch with your Customer Success Manager directly. We want to make sure your path to certification is moving forward and that we're genuinely earning your confidence.

  ### 46. ISMS.Online, Outstanding tool for Regulatory Compliance

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jim M. | Senior Manager Information Security and Compliance / CISO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2024

**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.

**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.

**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.

**Official Response from John Whiting:**

> 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.

Once again, thank you for the 5 star review.

**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.

**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.

**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

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Gambling & Casinos | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2025

**What do you like best about ISMS.online?**

In the main, ISMS.online is relatively easy to use. Of course, it takes time to adapt to any new tool. However, the learning curve is relatively fast and easy. As the business, we're also frequently using ISMS.online for the auditing purposes, KPIs, management board review, or loading any incidents. Customer Support is also spot on, short awaiting time for the responses and smooth resolution to any inquires.

**What do you dislike about ISMS.online?**

First, the search engine. It's super slow and it makes difficult to search something on the spot. Second, availability of integrations to integrate ISMS.online within your organisation eco-system is also pretty small.

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

Staying up to date with the ISO standards, keeping policies updated, and making sure all relevant items are updated on the frequent basis.
