Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Drafted IT Officer

Weighted verdict

SME IT admin who became the information security officer by an email from management. Optimizes for guided setup, sane defaults, plain-language controls and a tool that runs alongside the day job. Rejects platforms that assume a security team and a consultant on retainer.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Asset & risk management depth

How this is scored

The ISMS core: asset inventory, risk methodology (identification, assessment, treatment), inheritance of protection needs (Schutzbedarf) across assets, and security incident handling with its reporting deadlines.

0 — Not an ISMS tool; the product has no asset or risk management.

3 — A risk register with likelihood and impact, and an asset list that can be imported.

5 — Asset inventory and risk management with a configurable risk matrix, risk treatment with owners and measures, and a register for security incidents.

8 — A documented risk methodology (ISO 27005, BSI 200-3 or equivalent), protection needs inherited across asset relations, incident workflows with the NIS2 reporting deadlines (24h/72h), and risk acceptance with named owners.

10 — Risk management a certifier works inside: the complete asset-risk-treatment chain with inheritance, business continuity planning (BIA, ISO 22301 or BSI 200-4), incident reporting with export for the authority, and risk reporting for the executive level.

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

Pre-built threat events with inherent risk, likelihood and action methods, assignable risk owners with notifications, and inherent and residual risk heat maps give a drafted officer sane defaults to start from, and the incident module adds approval workflows, bulk upload and CAPA creation. We found no public information on an asset inventory, a named risk methodology, protection-need inheritance across assets, or NIS2 reporting deadlines in the incident workflows, so the ISMS core is only partly there. 3 4

Report an error

Controls, SoA & measures

How this is scored

Control catalogues, the statement of applicability, measure tracking and internal audit — whether the control side of the ISMS is operable or a checklist.

0 — No control catalogue or measures in the product.

3 — Control catalogues (such as ISO 27001 Annex A) with an implementation status per control.

5 — Controls linked to risks and to measures with owners and due dates, a statement of applicability generated from the control status, and internal audits supported with checklists.

8 — A statement of applicability always current from live control status, measure tracking with delegation and escalation, internal audit workflows with findings and corrective actions, and evidence attached to each control.

10 — The control fabric as a living system: catalogue updates versioned, audit programmes with recurring schedules, and every control answerable with linked, current evidence at any moment — all documented.

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

Policy and control templates come with the platform, a risk can pull in an existing compliance control for automatic mitigation, and measures run as CAPAs with approvers and deadlines. We found no public information on a generated statement of applicability or a documented internal audit programme, so the control side reads as strong tracking rather than a certifier-ready fabric. 3 4 7

Report an error

Framework & standard coverage

How this is scored

Which regimes the product operationalises — ISO 27001, NIS2, TISAX/VDA ISA, DORA, BSI IT-Grundschutz, SOC 2 — and whether one control maps across them or each framework is a fresh island.

0 — No security framework built in; a generic task or document tool.

3 — One recognised framework (typically ISO 27001) delivered with its requirements and controls.

5 — Several named frameworks for its market (for example ISO 27001, NIS2, TISAX or BSI IT-Grundschutz), with controls mapped across at least two of them.

8 — Broad current coverage including NIS2, TISAX and DORA where relevant, one control satisfying many frameworks through a documented mapping, and updates published when a standard changes.

10 — Framework coverage as a living product: dozens of regimes, multi-compliance on one data basis, per-industry profiles, and a documented update cadence when the standard moves.

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

More than forty regimes are on offer, among them SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, PCI DSS v4.0, NIS 2.0 and the German C5, with a published crosswalk estimating how much of a SOC 2 control set carries into each added framework and multiple frameworks supported simultaneously on one basis. We found no public information on TISAX, DORA or BSI IT-Grundschutz, and no published cadence for updating when a standard changes, which caps this below the top band. 1 7 8

Audit readiness & evidence

How this is scored

Whether the system produces defensible proof: change history, evidence collection, and reports for auditors, authorities and management.

0 — No reports, history or evidence; the product only stores the current state.

3 — PDF or Word reports of risks and controls, and documents attachable to records.

5 — Versioned records or a change history, standard report generators (SoA, risk report, management report), and evidence attached per control.

8 — A revision-safe change history, audit evidence packs generated on demand, management reports at a click, and read-only auditor access.

10 — Audit readiness as a standing state: evidence status shown continuously per framework and scope, proof packs an external auditor accepts as they are, and any record reproducible as it stood on a given date.

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

AI agents collect evidence and map it to controls automatically, dashboards are described as board-ready and real-time, and each incident can be reported with timelines, people and actions. We found no public information on revision-safe change history, read-only auditor access or evidence packs produced on demand, so for my first external audit I would still be assembling the proof folder by hand. 1 4 12

Report an error

Integrations & automation

How this is scored

Whether the platform feeds from the real IT estate — directory import, CMDB, ticketing, scanners, SSO, API — and automates evidence collection instead of re-typing it.

0 — No import, export or integration; data is typed in and printed out.

3 — CSV or Excel import and export, and reminders for recurring reviews.

5 — Single sign-on, a documented API or a few named connectors (directory, ticketing or CMDB), and recurring tasks with reminders and assignment.

8 — A documented REST API for the core objects, a named connector set (Jira/ServiceNow-class ticketing, CMDB, cloud and endpoint sources), webhooks, SSO with SCIM provisioning, and automated evidence tests with human review.

10 — The platform behaves like infrastructure: API coverage of the whole data model, events or webhooks for every object, continuous control monitoring against the live estate, and recurring evidence collection automated and documented.

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

Hundreds of pre-built connectors are claimed — the captured pages give different figures, 270+ and 325+ — with AWS named explicitly, evidence gathering running on schedule, incident bulk upload from a spreadsheet and Google Workspace login. We found no public information on a documented API, webhooks, SCIM provisioning or named ticketing and CMDB connectors, so the estate feed looks broad but is thin on documentation an admin can verify. 1 2 4 7 12

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the security posture of the whole company actually lives and under whose law: contracting entity and parent company, hosting location, subprocessors (hosting, AI features, email, support tooling), DPA. The risk register is itself a target. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; describe what is proven, and treat what is not stated as unknown rather than non-EU.

0 — Proven non-EU end to end: non-EU entity and non-EU hosting with no EU option, and no data processing agreement offered.

3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist; hosting location and subprocessors are not stated, or EU hosting is offered only on request or on top tiers.

5 — EU hosting stated as the default, a data processing agreement and a subprocessor list published; a parent company or a subprocessor may sit outside the EU.

8 — EU entity, EU hosting in named data centres, a subprocessor list with no non-EU processor touching customer content, and the DPA and TOMs published.

10 — Jurisdictionally clean end to end: European ownership, EU-only hosting and subprocessors, an on-premises or sovereign-cloud option, and the whole chain documented publicly.

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

The data processing addendum is public, with standard contractual clauses, a UK addendum, Swiss provisions, a published subprocessor list and stated encryption at rest and in transit. Hosting is stated as AWS facilities in the USA with processing permitted in the United States and "anywhere else in the world", and we found no public information on an EU hosting option, an EU contracting entity or an on-premises choice — as the person who now owns the risk register, that register itself would sit outside EU jurisdiction. 2 10

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real invoice — per module, per entity, per year, with consulting unbundled — from public pages alone. Unpublished pricing is the B2B norm in this market, so this criterion describes rather than condemns; the benches weight it accordingly.

0 — No public prices at all; every configuration is a sales conversation.

3 — A public "from" price or one priced edition; the other editions, modules or scale steps are not public.

5 — Public prices per edition or tier with the billing period (monthly or annual) stated and the main inclusions listed.

8 — Every edition and module priced publicly with entity/user boundaries and setup fees stated, software separated from consulting, and VAT treatment given; only genuine corporate-group contracts are custom.

10 — Complete price computability: modules, scale steps, service packages and renewal rules public, so the invoice for a 100-employee company and a certification project is a two-minute exercise.

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

We found no public prices on the captured pages — no editions, tiers, licence terms or setup fees — only a demo request, a free readiness assessment and free courses. Nothing in the public material lets a buyer compute an invoice before talking to sales, which is normal for this market but worth stating plainly. 1 8 12
