ISMS software vs. spreadsheets and open source

Spreadsheets and open-source tools work for a first step. For an ISMS that's ready for certification, ISMS software gives you more structure for upkeep and audits.

  Spreadsheets and documents Open-source tool DataGuard ISMS software
Setup and running Lots of manual work Own hosting and updates needed Ready to go without own hosting, hosted in Germany (EU)
Risk assessment and SoA Own spreadsheets, error-prone Partly, often not on the current standard Built in, ISO 27001:2022
Evidence and versioning Scattered across folders Depends on the tool In one place and audit-ready
Cover several frameworks Maintained twice Limited ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS2, TISAX®
Expert support None Community forums Dedicated ISMS experts
Best for A first inventory Teams with in-house IT capacity Companies aiming for certification
