Why ISMS Builder?
Compliance shouldn't cost a fortune.

SMEs and mid-sized companies face an impossible choice when it comes to ISMS tooling.

💸

Enterprise tools are too expensive

Commercial ISMS platforms typically cost €5,000–30,000 per year — unaffordable for most organisations.

📊

Spreadsheets aren't auditable

Excel-based ISMS documentation can't enforce workflows, track policy acknowledgements or produce audit evidence automatically.

☁️

SaaS means giving up control

Storing sensitive security documentation in a third-party cloud contradicts the very principles of a sound ISMS.

Everything your ISMS needs.

313 controls across 8 frameworks. One platform. Fully self-hosted.

📋

Policy Management

Full document lifecycle — draft, review, approve, archive. Version history, role-based workflows, policy acknowledgements for staff without accounts.

⚠️

Risk Register

ISO 27001-aligned risk assessment with treatment tracking, CVSS scoring, scanner import from Greenbone/OpenVAS and multi-framework mapping.

🛡️

Statement of Applicability

313 controls across ISO 27001, NIS2, BSI IT-Grundschutz, EUCS, EU AI Act, ISO 9001, CRA and EUCS — with inline editing and CSV/PDF export.
