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.

Scored by The Drafted IT Officer

Asset & risk management depth

How this is scored

The ISMS core: asset inventory, risk methodology (identification, assessment, treatment), protection-needs inheritance, incident handling with statutory clocks.

0 — No ISMS substance; "information security" is a chapter in the marketing site.

3 — A flat risk list and an asset spreadsheet import; no treatment tracking, no inheritance, incidents live in the ticket system.

5 — Asset and risk management with configurable matrices and treatment tracking; basic incident handling; inheritance and aggregation need manual work.

8 — A real risk backbone: documented methodology (ISO 27005 or equivalent), inherited protection needs across asset relations, incident workflows with statutory reporting clocks (NIS2 24h/72h), risk acceptance with ownership.

10 — Risk management a certifier works inside: complete asset-risk-treatment chain with inheritance, continuity planning, incident reporting with authority export, and risk reporting the executive level actually reads.

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

This is a real risk backbone, not a spreadsheet: protection needs come from a damage-scenario matrix using the maximum principle with accumulation across linked systems, risks link directly to the measures that reduce them, and incident handling ships with nine ready-made report templates for BSI, KRITIS and GDPR whose reporting deadlines are monitored automatically. The guided step-by-step implementation is exactly what someone doing this alongside the day job needs. We found no public information on business continuity planning, which keeps it off the top mark. 8 2 12 2 13 14 17

Controls, SoA & measures

How this is scored

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

0 — A static control checklist; applicability, implementation status and evidence are the consultant's spreadsheet.

3 — Control catalogs with status fields, but no SoA generation, no measure ownership, no link between controls and risks.

5 — Controls linked to risks and measures with owners and due dates; SoA producible with manual assembly; internal audit supported by checklists.

8 — SoA on demand from live control status, measure tracking with delegation and escalation, internal audit workflows with findings management, controls carrying their own evidence.

10 — The control fabric as a living system: catalog updates versioned, SoA always current, audit programs with recurring schedules, and every control answerable with linked evidence at any moment.

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

The statement of applicability is genuinely automatic: setting a requirement to not applicable forces a justification that flows into the SoA, filed as an immutable dated version per catalog, while measures carry owners, status and versioning and link to risks and protection needs. Audits recur on schedule with central evidence and controls answer with their own evidence. We found no public information on delegating measures with escalation or on tracking audit findings to closure, so it sits just under the next mark. 7 7 15 16 17

Framework & standard coverage

How this is scored

Which regimes the product actually operationalizes — 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 — One framework, hard-coded; anything else is "on the roadmap".

3 — Two or three frameworks as separate checklists; the same control is answered once per framework.

5 — The major regimes for its market with partial cross-mapping; newer regimes (NIS2, DORA) present as content packs of varying depth.

8 — Broad current coverage including NIS2/TISAX/DORA where relevant, one-control-many-frameworks mapping, and visible maintenance as regimes evolve.

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

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

The German-market regimes are there as ready catalogs — ISO 27001, NIS2 and BSI C5 plus optional paid BSI IT-Grundschutz, CISIS12 and VdA ISA and a municipal SiKoSH catalog — though the captured pages give different figures for which catalogs are included where. Only one catalog is active per organization and we found no public information on one control answering several frameworks, so regimes read as separate islands rather than shared compliance data; DORA appears only as a statement that new requirements will be implemented promptly. 2 12 2 7 17 18

Audit readiness & evidence

How this is scored

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

0 — Exports are screenshots; history is overwritten in place.

3 — PDF reports exist but evidence is attached ad hoc and changes leave no reliable trail.

5 — Versioned records, standard report generators, evidence attachments per control; assembling a full audit file still takes days.

8 — Revision-safe change history, audit-scoped evidence packs on demand, management reports current at a click, auditor access roles.

10 — Audit readiness as a standing state: continuous evidence status per framework and scope, exportable proof packs an external auditor accepts as-is, and a defensible answer to "show me the state on date X".

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

Evidence sits directly on each requirement with a validity date, cockpit expiry warnings and a request link for people without an account, and every approval creates an immutable revision with SHA-256 integrity checks plus complete activity logs filterable by time and user. Management and audit reports recur automatically. We found no public information on external auditor access roles or audit-scoped evidence packs, and revisions older than the feature cannot be verified retroactively, so this stays just below the next mark. 2 2 19 20

Report an error

Integrations & automation

How this is scored

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

0 — A closed island: manual entry in, PDF out, no API.

3 — CSV/Excel import and export; no live connections, no API worth the name.

5 — Directory import (AD/Entra), a documented REST API for core objects, a handful of native connectors (ticketing, CMDB or SSO); automation is reminders and recurrence.

8 — Real connector set (Jira/ServiceNow-class ticketing, CMDB, cloud and endpoint sources), webhooks, SSO/SCIM, automated evidence tests with human review.

10 — The platform behaves like infrastructure: API parity for the data model, event streams, continuous control monitoring against the live estate, and automation that measurably removes the recurring toil rather than renaming it.

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

The vendor states plainly that the application is designed as a closed system with no public REST API; custom endpoints exist only as bespoke development on private cloud or on-premises hosting. Feeds are XLSX import and exports in PDF, DOCX and XLSX, and automation means reminders, recurring reports and deadline monitoring. That works for a first ISMS but means re-typing what my directory and ticket system already know. 2 12 2 19

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the security posture of the whole company actually lives and under whose law — entity, hosting, subprocessors, DPA. The risk register is itself a target.

0 — Non-EU entity, non-EU-default hosting, no public DPA or subprocessor list — for the system holding your risk register.

3 — A DPA exists and an EU region is available on request or on top tiers; subprocessor exposure to US CLOUD Act reach is broad or undocumented.

5 — EU hosting is the default, DPA and subprocessor list published; the vendor or a critical subprocessor is still within non-European jurisdictional reach.

8 — EU entity, EU hosting with named data centers, published subprocessor list free of content-touching non-EU processors, DPA and TOMs public.

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

Report an error

The Drafted IT Officer

My risk register would live with a German vendor in named ISO 27001 data centers at Hetzner in Nürnberg and Falkenstein, no third-country transfer, a published DPA with GDPR standard clauses and downloadable TOMs, and an on-premises option where data never leaves my datacenter. Named sub-processors are Hetzner in Germany and UpCloud in Finland, both EU. The full sub-processor list sits in a DPA appendix the captured pages do not show, ownership is not publicly documented, and optional DeepL or OpenAI-compatible integrations would add further processors, so the chain is not verifiably clean end to end. 9 10 11 12 2

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 — An entry price exists, but module add-ons, scale steps or bundled consulting make the real total incomputable.

5 — Most editions carry real numbers with billing period stated and software separated from services; at least one commonly needed module or scale step is unpriced.

8 — Every edition and module priced publicly with entity/user boundaries and setup fees stated; 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

There are no public prices: the license and pricing model is prepared as a separate individual offer depending on employee count, chosen modules and hosting variant. Public statements about the model are helpful — annual subscription, monthly or yearly billing, updates and support included, no setup fees, no notice periods — but add-ons like the audit catalogs, DeepL and premium support carry no figures, so the real total cannot be computed from public pages. 2 12
