For Bayard, we made exactly the right decision by selecting 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 well prepared for audits. Help from the team was also always reliable,competent, and unbureaucratic.

"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 them have been significantly reduced through the use of Athereon GRC.

I would like to emphasize two points in particular:

1) Open communication regarding customer requests and feature requests at all times. These are usually implemented very promptly.

2) The always fast and competent support from the support team.

Many thanks to the Athereon GRC team for the collaboration!

People that are planning something

Collaboration with Athereon GRC was very straightforward, both during project implementation and ongoing use. There was always a competent contact person. 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.

Athereon GRC can definitely be recommended for public sector administrations of our size.

FAQs

Get detailed answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Who needs an ISMS?

An ISMS is required by any organization that processes, stores, or transmits confidential, sensitive or business-critical information. This applies not only to large companies, but also to small and medium-sized businesses that need to protect the data of their customers, employees or partners.

In today's data-driven world, an ISMS makes sense for almost all companies. Some particularly safety-critical sectors and industries with globally interconnected supply chains are even required by regulations to implement and operate an ISMS and are regularly monitored by external auditors.

How do I have to manage my ISMS?

An ISMS must be structured and documented, clearly and comprehensibly describing an organization's security processes and measures. It is important that the ISMS not only exists in theory, but is actively implemented in practice and continuously monitored.

An ISMS can be managed in various forms, depending on the standards or norms the organization adheres to. Implementation is carried out with the help of consulting firms or in the form of a specialized software solution such as Athereon GRC.

What is an ISMS certification?

An ISMS certification is formal proof that a company has successfully implemented an ISMS and is operating it in accordance with recognized standards, such as ISO 27001. Through this certification, an independent certification body confirms that the company's ISMS meets the requirements of the standard and functions effectively.

ISMS certification helps companies gain the trust of customers, partners and authorities by demonstrating that the organization bases its information security processes on internationally recognized standards. It also ensures that the company actively monitors and continuously improves data security.

How can Athereon GRC support my company in this?

Athereon GRC pursues a fresh, modern ISMS implementation approach and offers all the software tools needed to fully implement an ISMS and operate it long-term in your own ISMS compliance cockpit. You receive support through numerous workflows. Because Athereon GRC operationalizes the ISMS and its requirements and automates documentation, our customers are highly satisfied with the long-term total cost of ownership of their ISMS implementation. The low cost of long-term operation of the ISMS is particularly appreciated.
