Case Study: Small Software Development Company achieves ISO 27001 certification with NAVEX IRM (NAVEX)

Enterprise Software Developer Earns ISO 27001 Certification

An 85-person enterprise software developer set a bold goal to earn ISO 27001 certification but lacked a sustainable, collaborative information security management system (ISMS). Spreadsheets and shared drives were insufficient for mapping controls, documenting processes, tracking objectives, or supporting auditors, so the CTO led the effort to find technology capable of meeting the standard’s rigorous requirements.

The company implemented NAVEX IRM to centralize policies, procedures, controls and evidence, document ISO’s seven requirement categories, track KPIs and automate reporting and dashboards for continuous monitoring. The platform simplified audits and evidence gathering, enabling the firm to achieve ISO 27001 certification, boost market credibility for data protection and streamline ongoing ISMS maintenance.
