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 highlight 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.

Why do I need a ISO 27001 certification?

ISO 27001 certification offers numerous advantages that can be extremely beneficial for organizations. Meeting the ISO 27001 requirement is proof of high-quality information security within your company and the reliable handling of information. Certification therefore strengthens the trust of customers and partners and can thus provide a competitive advantage. The (re)certification process promotes continuous improvement in security practices and strengthens defenses against cyberattacks.

Is ISO 27001 suitable for small businesses?

Yes, ISO 27001 is also suitable for small businesses. The standard provides a flexible framework that can be adapted to the specific needs and resources of smaller organizations. By implementing ISO 27001, small businesses can improve their information security, build customer and partner trust, and better protect themselves against cyber threats. Certification also helps them meet regulatory requirements and stand out from competition. While implementation may seem challenging at first, small businesses benefit in the long run from a structured approach to information security.

What is the difference between ISO 27001 and IT-Grundschutz?

The main difference between the international ISO 27001 and the German IT-Grundschutz lies in their approach and structure. Both have their own advantages and can be chosen depending on an organization's needs and objectives. With Athereon GRC, it's easy to represent the many overlaps and meet the requirements of both frameworks in parallel.

How does Athereon GRC support me with ISO 27001 requirements?

Athereon GRC maps all ISO 27001 requirements in guided sections, allowing users to edit each requirement individually, create tickets, or link documentation. The integrated cockpit and versatile tools enable complete mapping of all requirements—without additional software. Thanks to flexible interfaces, Athereon GRC can be seamlessly integrated into your existing IT landscape.
