ISMS IMPLEMENTATION

From analysis to certification – practical and reliable.

Our experts support you in implementing and optimizing your ISMS. We check whether your logging and processes meet the requirements of the frameworks relevant to you, clarify the scope for certification, and carry out document reviews through to concrete implementation recommendations for interviews with your specialist departments. With ISO 27001-certified specialists, we guide you every step of the way – toward certification-ready information security management.

DISCOVERY & READINESS ASSESSMENT

Transparency, speed, and clear recommendations for action.

In the readiness assessment, we analyze what your company has already implemented and what is still missing to achieve your target certification. With our methodology, we create transparency about the implementation status, identify synergies, and deliver clear, prioritized action steps. Thanks to our software-based analysis, you avoid the typical "consultant jungle" and retain full control over progress, effort, and budget.

CONTINUOUS SUPPORT & AUDIT READINESS

Long-term support with a clear roadmap

Our consulting continues after implementation. We provide ongoing support to ensure your audit readiness. With roadmaps, templates, and reusable best-practice examples, you reach your goals effectively, in an audit-proof and resource-efficient way. Whether you're a small company with high advisory needs or a large enterprise with in-house expertise – we tailor our support to your organization.

"By using Athereon GRC, we were able to link the requirements of the various standards (ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, BSI C5, ISO 27701) and thus process them in just one place. The effort required to maintain the respective requirements of these standards and norms and the complexity that normally accompanies this process have been significantly reduced through the use of Athereon GRC. I would like to highlight two points in particular: 1) Open communication regarding customer requests and feature requests at all times. These are usually implemented very promptly. 2) And the always fast and competent support from the support team. Many thanks to the Athereon GRC team for the collaboration!"

Torsten Zinke
Information Security (ISB) & Compliance Manager

"Our collaboration with Athereon GRC was a complete success. The team's high level of expertise and outstanding support helped us progress and achieve success in TISAX® assessment. The implemented software includes numerous features and an intuitive user interface that meets all our requirements to our complete satisfaction. Athereon GRC facilitates our tasks efficiently and reliably at all our locations."

Thorsten Kohlstock
IT Manager

"Implementation of the ISMS according to BSI IT-Grundschutz with Athereon GRC exceeded our expectations. Centralized management and control gave us a comprehensive overview of the security status and compliance with regulations. The real-time monitoring of GRC activities and the adaptation to legal requirements proved particularly helpful. Overall, Athereon GRC has helped us improve our security standards and effectively manage risks."

Matthias Totzauer
Group Chief Information Security Officer - CISO

"Working with Athereon GRC was very straightforward, both during project implementation and ongoing use. There was always a competent contact person available. Any issues that arose were resolved promptly after reporting, and questions about specific Athereon GRC features were always answered quickly. Furthermore, ideas for new features or suggestions for improvements are received with great interest and then published in a future release.We've come to value the unbureaucratic, customer-focused collaboration as our greatest advantage and strength, something we sometimes miss with other providers. We also particularly like the videos on Athereon GRC that have been published recently.The product Athereon GRC can definitely be recommended for public sector administrations of our size."

Gunnar Herbst
Information Security Officer

"We particularly appreciate the competent, open, critical and solution-oriented way in which requirements are discussed and implemented. In our experience, this is not to be taken for granted."

Olaf Reimann
Head of Enterprise Architecture and Cyber Security Governance

"For Bayard, we made exactly the right decision by choosing Athereon GRC for our initial certification. The cockpit is particularly user-friendly; you always have a complete overview of all ISO requirements and processes and know exactly where you are. The software itself always covers the latest regulatory requirements, so you are perfectly prepared for audits. The support from the team was also always reliable, competent, and unbureaucratic. We particularly appreciated the personal support and the straightforward, solution-oriented approach for our company."

Inga Kramer
Lead HR & Projects

"ISO 27001 certification is a major competitive advantage in our market. However, we were always hesitant about the enormous documentation effort and the high costs involved. When I discovered Athereon GRC and after the first product demonstration, it became clear how easy implementation could be. We immediately initiated the process and received certification in under 12 months."

Boris Pfeiffer
CEO

"Our collaboration with Athereon GRC and the implementation of Athereon as our ISMS and document management system was a complete success. We were particularly impressed by the combination of expertise, practical solutions, and a collaborative, partnership on equal terms that provides ample scope for us to help shape Athereon. We wholeheartedly recommend Athereon GRC as a reliable, competent partner that advances and improves processes with sustainabiliy in mind."‍
