"Very Intuitive Platform"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ISMS.online?

The platform is very intuitive, which I think is key to ensuring company-wide adoption. The majority of the documentation is already complete, with around 20% that needs to be completed by the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

Not a lot really. It does a good job. There are some very useful add-ons which are chargeable - it would have been better if these were included in the package price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Hey Andrew, thank you for the great review! We're really glad the pre-built documentation gave your team a strong head start, and that the platform has helped you build that all-important trust with your clients. It's great to hear it's delivering real value for your business.

All the best,

"Streamlined Compliance with Centralized Documentation and Easy Setup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ISMS.online?

I like the central deposit for all documentation, policies, and controls in ISMS.online. It makes it easy for auditors to access and evaluate, which reduces the need for interaction with the team and lowers the chance of mistakes. I appreciate how much time and energy it has saved me. I also like the ease of risk management and review. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

In general, ISMS.online could improve in providing an understanding of the ISO standard and how each section or control relates to the standard and what is expected. For example, in leadership buy-in, having a section that shows what the standard is explicitly needing for that section or control would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Time and energy are two things nobody in compliance has to spare, so hearing that centralised documentation and straightforward risk management are giving some of that back to you is brilliant. Thank you for the review!

All the best,

The ISMS.online team

4.5/5
What do you like best about ISMS.online?

ISMS.online has allowed us to consolidated our ISMS into a single, easily accessible library. This allows staff to easily locate key policies and processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

The need to add additional packs for other frameworks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Customer Support of ISMS.online

Hi there,

"Efficient ISO 27001 Implementation"
5/5
What do you like best about ISMS.online?

I use ISMS.online for the structured introduction and implementation of ISO 27001 in our company. It primarily solves the problem of lacking structure and transparency in the ISO 27001 introduction. The biggest advantage is the clear guidance through the standard requirements, which saves a significant amount of time and makes audit preparation possible with a small team. I like the structured setup along ISO 27001 and the direct linking of risks, measures, and evidence. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

I think the navigation and search can still be improved. Sometimes I have difficulty finding something. One could make the entry points into the standard and the recently visited pages easier to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Andreas, thank you so much for sharing this. It's great to hear that the direct linking of risks, measures, and evidence is making audit preparation achievable for your team. That structured approach is something we've invested heavily in, and feedback like yours confirms we're on the right track. On navigation, we've just rolled out updates to make the platform easier to navigate, with more improvements coming in March.

All the best,

The ISMS.online team

"Great Topic Linking, But Needs More ISO 9001 and 14001 Templates"
3.5/5
What do you like best about ISMS.online?

The hierarchical linking of parent/child topics, and the ability to manually crosslink topics to one another and link to documents and resources via weblinks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

ISO 27001 being a very defined standard with prescriptive requirements is very well documented with templates and requirements. ISO 9001 is effectively just a blank slate - we wouldn't have bought the service if we only wanted 9k, it doesn't offer enough. ISO14k sits somewhere between the two, but there isn't as much template text as we would expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Jonathan, thank you so much for this. It's great to hear the linking and read-and-understand workflows are genuinely helping your stakeholders stay compliant and evidenced. Thank you for your comments on ISO 9001. We'd love to connect you with your Customer Success Manager to share more about what's coming on the roadmap, and to hear directly from you about what templates would make the biggest difference.

All the best,

The ISMS.online team

"Easy-to-Use Risk Module That Tracks Movement Through Mitigation Cycles"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ISMS.online?

Risk module, which is easy to use and helps track risk movement throughout the mitigation cycles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

There's no assessment automation feature, where we might be able to use it to automate risk assessments, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Customer Support of ISMS.online

Hello there,

Thank you so much for this review! We're glad the platform is making your compliance processes easier to manage. Your point on assessment automation is great feedback and we'll relay it to our Product team.

Thanks again!

All the best,

"Simple and Effective for ISO 27001 Management"
3.5/5
What do you like best about ISMS.online?

I find ISMS.online simple to use and it's built to aid implementation. The structured platform makes it easy to store updates and evidence in an auditable format, and it efficiently manages colleagues' updates and contributions. Also, the customer support is very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

I find the supplier module not usable because it is all free text and pushes the admin of accounts onto me. I wish it had some logic controls and limited responses instead of free text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Customer Support of ISMS.online

Hi Sean,

Thank you so much for the positive feedback about the platform and our CS team - it really means a lot and it will be passed on. We have noted your feedback on the supplier module and will make sure it reaches our product team.

All the best,

"Dashboard is clear, but other areas can be complicated"
4/5
What do you like best about ISMS.online?

The dashboard is clear, and I can easily see what’s on my to-do list, when each item is due, and what needs extra attention because it’s overdue. The updates section also gives me a quick overview of changes, like users being added to projects, and the favourites provide a handy navigation tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

It takes a bit of time to get used to the layout. It doesn’t feel as intuitive as other systems, and it can be quite complex at times. The system is also quite expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Clear priorities, timely updates, and a reliable audit trail for document engagement; it's great to hear those features are making a genuine difference for your team. Keeping everything in one central, accountable place is what compliance management should look like, and we're pleased ISMS.online is delivering that for you.

All the best,

The ISMS.online team

"Flexible Workflows and Great Templates, But UI and Navigation Need Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about ISMS.online?

The predefined structure and document templates are a great fit for our company, as they align well with our industry, infrastructure, and size. The platform is also flexible, allowing us to customize workflows to our needs. Furthermore, customer support is highly responsive and always replies promptly to our inquiries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ISMS.online?

The overall user interface and navigation would benefit from some improvements, as would the note editor. Additionally, I feel that the predefined documentation templates include some redundant information, and the content within these templates could be made more concise and streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Whiting of ISMS.online

Thank you, Andreas. It's really valuable to hear from a CTO and CISO perspective, and we're pleased the platform's structure and flexibility are proving a genuine fit for your business. On the UI and note editor specifically, we're pleased to share that we've recently rolled out updates to both, with further UI improvements coming in March. We'd welcome the chance to connect you with your Customer Success Manager to walk through what's changed and make sure the platform continues to work well for your needs.

All the best,

The ISMS.online team
