All GRC tooling & software
Spreadsheet or software
A spreadsheet is a fine start. ISO 27001 does not prescribe a tool, and the auditor looks at the content and the evidence, not the program. But as your organisation grows, gets more systems or maintains several standards at once, owners, reminders and evidence get scattered across separate files. That is when it is time for software.
| What you compare | Spreadsheet and documents | ISMS software |
|---|---|---|
| Costs | No licence | A subscription and a learning curve |
| Management | Arrange yourself who may edit, which version applies and when a measurement is due again | Links risks, controls and evidence, and sends reminders for recurring tasks |
| Evidence | Store it yourself, in a place with access rights and version history | Some tools collect it automatically from your cloud environment |
| Policy texts | In your usual word processor | Often ready-made; adapt them until they describe how you work |
| Suits | Many small companies | Many systems, or several standards at once |
If you choose a tool, ask beforehand whether you can take your data with you when you stop. Which suppliers exist is listed under ISMS software.

Frequently asked questions
Is software mandatory for ISO 27001?
No. ISO 27001 does not prescribe a tool. For many small companies a spreadsheet is enough, as long as your documents are approved, findable, version-controlled and protected.
When is GRC software useful?
When you have a lot to keep track of and do not want to do that in separate files. GRC software keeps the risks, controls, documents and audits of your management system in one place.
Does GRC software replace an implementation partner?
No. Software helps you maintain the management system. An implementation partner helps you set up the system.
