ISO 27001 is one of the most widely recognized information security standards. Achieving and maintaining certification requires systematic management of policies, controls, risk assessments, and evidence. CISO Assistant makes this process much easier.

The challenge

Many organizations start ISO 27001 compliance with spreadsheets. This works initially, but it becomes unmanageable as the scope grows:

  • Controls are scattered across multiple documents
  • Evidence collection is manual and error-prone
  • Risk assessments become stale
  • Audit preparation is a scramble

How CISO Assistant helps

Built-in ISO 27001 framework

CISO Assistant ships with the complete ISO 27001:2022 control set. You don’t need to manually input the standard - it’s ready to use from day one.

Gap analysis

Before you configure workflows, know where you stand. Scope the ISMS (Clause 4.3), pile up what you already have — policies, SoA, risk register, access review records, last BCP test — and score each clause and Annex A control honestly. Fix what blocks certification or customer contracts first; the rest can wait.

CISO Assistant shows the picture in one dashboard once controls are mapped. The compliance mapping guide is the longer walkthrough (ISO 27001 and TISAX). For a fast baseline without logging in anywhere, the ISO 27001 gap analysis tool walks through the same scoring and spits out a PDF you can bring to management review.

Evidence management

Link evidence directly to controls. When audit time comes, everything is organized and accessible - no last-minute document hunting.

Multi-framework mapping

Already compliant with SOC 2 or NIST? CISO Assistant maps controls across frameworks, so work done for one standard counts toward others.

Continuous monitoring

Compliance isn’t a one-time event. Set up recurring assessments and reviews to maintain your certification year over year.

Implementation support

Setting up the framework is just the first step. Proper implementation involves configuring the risk matrix to match your organization’s risk appetite, defining assessment workflows, and training your team.

Guides I usually point people to next: risk assessment, assets, BIA, SoA, vendors. Also running NIS2? Overlap with ISO and the NIS2 checklist. Contact if you want help standing up the instance properly.
