The Athereon GRC platform is an ISMS software that optimally supports IT security management at German companies, bringing the requirements of ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz and NIS2 together in a single system. Further regulatory frameworks such as DORA, GDPR or the EU AI Act can be mapped on the same platform, so that companies do not run their ISMS in isolation but embed it within a broader GRC framework.
The platform covers the ISMS lifecycle end to end: from cataloguing the assets that require protection, through assessing threats and vulnerabilities, to effectiveness reviews and audit preparation. Evidence, responsibilities and deadlines are managed centrally, so that the basis for internal audits and external certifications remains solid at all times. Role and permission models separate the tasks of ISMS officers, business units and auditors, and interfaces to directory services or ticketing systems keep data consistent.
Built in is the AI agent LAiKA, which goes well beyond automating recurring tasks: on request, it stands by security officers as a digital companion and takes on work that would otherwise require external consulting. LAiKA drafts documentation, updates the asset inventory, supports risk assessment, maps measures to the appropriate controls and provides recommendations on how to interpret individual requirements. Approvals and decisions remain with the responsible people in the company. This reduces manual effort and frees up internal resources for security-relevant specialist topics.
