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), 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

Automated discovery that syncs cloud assets, devices and code repositories into one register, with owners, departments and criticality labels, is exactly the part of an ISMS I can keep alive next to my day job. But the risk side is only ever shown as linking — controls attach to risks, risks attach to assets — and we found no public information on a risk methodology, treatment tracking, or any incident handling, let alone statutory reporting clocks. Strong inventory, a risk process we cannot see. 3 4

Report an error

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 generated on demand from live control data, with implementation details pre-filled from the framework module and policy references auto-populated at export, plus a version-control tab carrying owner, approver and revision history — that saves me a week of spreadsheet surgery. Audits come with findings, requests and corrective-action folders. We found no public information on measure tracking with owners, due dates, delegation or escalation, which is the difference between a checklist I babysit and a system that chases people for me. 3 5 6 9

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

Seventy-plus out-of-the-box frameworks including ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS 2, TISAX and DORA, mapped onto a proprietary unified control set so one answer serves many frameworks, with collected evidence reusable across them — that is the multi-compliance workhorse a one-person security function actually needs. Custom frameworks are available on the upper tiers. We found no public information on a documented update cadence when a standard moves, so I am trusting the phrase 'growing library' rather than a maintenance promise. 4 6 7 8

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

The offline audit package is a genuinely defensible export: one zip organized per requirement, with policy, evidence, test, findings, requests and corrective-action folders an auditor can review without an account, and the summary readiness report includes structured data so their tooling can verify it. The developer console also logs every credential action with the actor named. We found no public information on revision-safe history across the wider records, auditor access roles, or reconstructing the state on a given date, so 'show me what it looked like in March' stays an open question. 9 10 11

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

A real API with scoped, expiring credentials available on every plan, automated asset sync from cloud platforms, MDM tools and code repositories, and continuous automated tests across the stack mean I am not re-typing my estate into a form. However, we found no public information on ticketing connectors, webhooks or SSO/SCIM provisioning, and the connector story beyond cloud, MDM and code repositories is undocumented, so the 'feeds from the real IT estate' claim is only half evidenced. 4 7 11

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

For the system that would hold my entire risk register, the captured terms place the contracting parties under Indian and Delaware law, and we found no public information on data residency, hosting locations, a subprocessor list, a data processing agreement or TOMs. The offboarding terms are at least concrete — thirty days of restricted access for retrieval, then deletion after a year in cross-region backup. As the person who would have to sign for this, that combination is the dealbreaker. 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

We found no public prices at all: the captured pages name the Foundation, Growth and Scale tiers and document which features sit in which, but we found no public information on figures, billing periods, setup fees or service bundles. The terms do spell out auto-renewal with thirty days' written non-renewal notice, so the renewal mechanics are readable even though the invoice itself is a sales conversation. 2 5
