I cannot think anything. Everything is well thought and designed by ISO Experts.

ISOvA IMS Toolbox

Kommentare: Exceptional value for a small business from a team who know how to support their clients from day one.

Vorteile:

RJC (Mechanical) Ltd were developing an Integrated Management System and were looking for an online solution to manage our IMS. It quickly became evident that ISOvA IMS was the perfect solution and has definitely been a major factor in us being recommended for certification to ISO9001, ISO14001 and ISO45001. Easy to use and efficient to manage with fantastic support from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team especially [SENSITIVE CONTENT].

Nachteile:

No cons that we have identified as yet, I am sure that the team at ISOvA will continue to develop the system where they feel it needs improving.

Still under development

Kommentare: I think it's early for me to know my overall experience with the new system

Vorteile:

It looks very user friendly, but not easy to develop

Nachteile:

Difficult to give access to other colleagues, doesn't include a documentation record or version control of dashboards

Finally, a tool designed by ISO experts!

Kommentare: Fantastic - it has saved the whole business time which is so important these days.

Vorteile:

The time it saves!!! Our teams spent so long using Excel previously and having to sit through external audits. Now there is a tool that auto-updates and we can provide read-only access to the external auditor and get on with the day job! One other key feature that we like is that it has been designed by ISO consultants. Speaking to the ISOvA team, they created the tool from their years of ISO experience and this is also the team maintaining and updating the software. This way, when they update the software, they let us know what they have added and why - usually because there has been a new demand of another client from BSI, etc. and so they have added that as a new feature into the portal.

Nachteile:

The business functions on Microsoft and so the TEAMS integration has been great - we expected this to be the negative! Nothing found so far - but then we were struggling with Excel before we trialled the software.

Excellent tool to support achieving ISO27001 certification

Kommentare: The ISOvA IMS was used to underpin the ISO27001 certification objective of a circa 100 person software development scale-up with offices in UK, USA and Australia. Prior to the adoption of ISOvA IMS the information security was at a low level of maturity with policies & procedures in existence but not sufficiently coherent, maintainable or accessible to qualify as a robust management system. The ISOvA IMS product brought a structured, discipled and comprehensive approach in allowing the organisation to achieve ISO27001 certification in around 5 months. The ability to access it remotely allowing all offices to contribute and support the first and second stage audits together with the responsiveness and knowledge of the AvISO team were two hugely beneficial features.

Vorteile:

Good features as regards the product were: 1. It's an online product and so could be accessed and worked on remotely by both our auditor and staff from global offices. 2. It was easy to reference between the ISO27001 sections and the headings within ISOvA IMS. 3. The different folders were linked so changes in one area rippled through to other associated areas 4. It has clearly been built up through lessons from many audits and showcases this knowledge in an easily digestible manner. Our Auditor was very comfortable with it. 5. Easily adaptable to integrate requirements of other information security requirements e.g. we requested SOC2 and ISO27701 to be added to ensure minimal duplication of effort for these certifications 6. The generic templated for policies & procedures provided were readily configurable to reflect actual practice. 7. it was Teams based so any queries about features, implementation, usage etc could be easily resolved via chat and/or video call. 8. Its features can be mixed & matched with existing organisational platforms e.g. policies & procedures can be stored on company intranet rather than within the ISOvA IMS.

Nachteile:

1. It is a very comprehensive tool and so it's worth spending some time to ensure it presents information to a depth and extent which is appropriate to the maturity of your organisation before it's rolled out. But with the product being so configurable and the product support team being so responsive this is easily achievable.
