What is a ISMS software solution?
Every day, organisations manage sensitive information such as customer and supplier data, business strategies, product developments and internal processes. ISMS software helps to protect this information in a structured manner within the framework of an information security management system (ISMS), to manage and document it centrally, and to implement regulatory requirements such as ISO 27001 or NIS-2 in a transparent manner.
With ISMS software, organisations can:
- Centrally document information assets, security requirements and protection needs
- Carry out security assessments and evaluate risks, vulnerabilities and countermeasures
- Manage the Statement of Applicability (SOA) and audit evidence for ISO 27001
- Link information security to risks, processes and controls
The TopEase ISMS/SOA module provides a fully digital representation of your information security process. All within a single database, seamlessly integrated into your GRC system.
How TopEase supports your information security management
Central ISMS documentation
- Document and manage your Information Security Management System (ISMS) in a single database. Security requirements, risks, measures and evidence remain linked at all times.
Simplifying audit preparation
- Keep track of implementation status and supporting documentation at all times. This will enable you to provide information relevant to the next ISMS audit more quickly and in a transparent manner.
Manage information security processes end-to-end
- Link security requirements, risks, controls and measures within a single system and maintain your Statement of Applicability (SOA) dynamically. Relationships remain transparent and changes traceable.
Measures & Risks Under Control
- Manage every information security risk centrally via automated workflows. Pending actions, processing statuses and deadlines are visible to all those involved at all times.
Integrating information security with GRC
- Break down data silos. As an integrated ISMS and GRC software solution, TopEase links your information security management system directly to enterprise risks, business processes, ICS controls and architectural assets.
Implementing regulatory requirements
- Use TopEase as a powerful security assessment and ISO 27001 software solution. This enables you to implement standards (such as ISO 27001 or BSI IT-Grundschutz) in a methodically sound manner that can be verified at any time.
The typical challenges in information security management
Distributed ISMS documentation
Security requirements, risks and supporting evidence are set out in various documents or individual solutions.
Manual tracking of measures
Responsibilities, deadlines and implementation status must be updated manually on a regular basis.
Extensive audit preparation
Audit evidence must be gathered from various sources.
Data silos between ISMS and GRC
Risks, controls, processes and assets are managed separately from one another, which means that the interrelationships are lost.
An overview of the functions of the ISMS software module

| GAP analyses | Comparison of ISO 27001 requirements against current implementation status |
| Action Management | Centralised management of actions, responsibilities and deadlines |
| Workflows | Workflows for automated ISMS documentation, approvals and status tracking |
| Dashboards & Reporting | Configurable dashboards, reports and documentation for ISMS audits |
| Shared database | Linking assets, risks, controls, processes and measures |
Information security as part of the TopEase GRC platform
Information security never stands alone. It is closely intertwined with business processes, IT architecture and general corporate risks.
That is why TopEase is not just an ISO 27001 tool in its own right: as an integrated ISMS and GRC platform, the solution links information security with risks, processes, controls and assets within a single database.
Benefit from your organisation’s digital twin across multiple modules. When the ISMS/SOA module is combined with other TopEase modules (such as Risk Management, ICS, BCM/BIA or Process Management), complex interdependencies become apparent. An information security risk can thus be directly linked to a critical business process, an IT asset and the corresponding ICS control.

ISO 27001 Documentation and Statement of Applicability (SOA)
ISO 27001: the international standard for ISMS
- ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for information security management systems. It defines the requirements for the establishment and operation of such systems, as well as the selection of appropriate security measures (controls).
- TopEase supports the entire ISO 27001 process: from identifying security needs, through security assessments and ISMS risk management, to audit preparation and ISO 27001-compliant documentation.
Statement of Applicability (SOA): das central document of ISO 27001
- The Statement of Applicability is a key document within ISO 27001 and sets out which security measures (controls) are relevant to the ISMS and how they are implemented.
- With the TopEase ISMS/SOA module, you can manage the Statement of Applicability centrally and link controls, risks, measures, responsibilities and evidence within a single database.
NIS-2: stricter requirements for cyber security and evidence management
- The NIS 2 Directive requires many organisations to implement systematic information security and risk management, as well as to maintain traceable documentation of their security measures.
- TopEase supports NIS 2-compliant documentation and evidence management through structured ISMS processes, audit-proof reporting and a centralised database.
