Complex safety requirements meet manual structures

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

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

There was a need for transparency, because coordination between specialist areas was complex and the risk of errors in documentation and action tracking should be reduced. The search was therefore for a digital solution that connects all stakeholders in a holistic information security process, promotes cooperation and efficiently supports the implementation of ISO requirements.

Digital ISMS with Athereon GRC as a success factor

For the structured introduction of an ISMS, the company decided to use Athereon GRC. The platform offered exactly the digital support that was necessary for the targeted implementation of ISO/IEC 27001.

Automated documentation, central action management and transparent risk assessment enabled all safety-relevant activities to be systematically planned, monitored and continuously improved. The clear definition of responsibilities and standardized processes made step-by-step implementation significantly easier.

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

ISO 27001 certification through lived safety culture

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

In addition, central coordination and documentation achieved significantly higher transparency, streamlined action tracking and enabled continuous improvement. Information security has gone from project to practice: Processes today are not only auditable, but are actively lived and developed.

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