Complex security requirements meet manual structures

As an internationally operating company in the digital economy, management was faced with the task of meeting the growing demands for information security. The goal was to establish an information security management system (ISMS) in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001 to systematically protect sensitive information and internal processes.

It became clear early on that implementing the standard required a structured, methodical approach to not only quickly achieve certification readiness but also ensure long-term operationalization. At the same time, the complexity of regulatory requirements is increasing—a key challenge that could no longer be efficiently managed with manual processes.

Transparency was needed because coordination between departments was complex, and the risk of errors in documentation and action tracking needed to be reduced. Therefore, a digital solution was sought that would connect all stakeholders in a holistic information security process, promote collaboration, and efficiently support the implementation of ISO requirements.

Digital ISMS with Athereon GRC as success factor

For the structured implementation of an ISMS, the company chose Athereon GRC. The platform provided exactly the digital support needed for the targeted implementation of ISO/IEC 27001.

Automated documentation, centralized action management, and transparent risk assessment enabled all safety-relevant activities to be systematically planned, tracked, and continuously improved. Clearly defining responsibilities and standardized processes significantly facilitated the gradual implementation.

Athereon GRC quickly established as the central control tool for all ISMS activities: cross-departmental, audit-compliant, and intuitive to use. This laid the foundation for a sustainable information security strategy.

ISO 27001 certification through a lived security culture

With the support of Athereon GRC, the company successfully achieved ISO 27001 certification, which represents an important milestone in the strategic development of its security and compliance structures.

Furthermore, centralized coordination and documentation have significantly increased transparency, streamlined action tracking, and enabled continuous improvement. Information security has evolved from a project to lived practice: processes are now not only auditable, but actively implemented and further developed.

The result is a sustainable security culture that both meets compliance requirements and strengthens the trust of customers, partners and employees.
