We’re proud to introduce ISOPlanner 6.0.0. A release that delivers two major capabilities we’ve been building toward: automated evidence collection for Microsoft 365 and a new AI assistant that generates Annual Plan tasks from your active controls.
If your team is still manually exporting Secure Score data or checking MFA status before every audit, this update changes that today. And if creating an Annual Plan still starts with a blank page, the new AI assistant removes that problem entirely.
Automated Evidence Collection for Microsoft 365
Manual evidence collection is a repetitive operations problem disguised as compliance: the same exports, the same logs, the same checks, with nothing to show for it except another spreadsheet row. Until an auditor asks.
A new Evidence Collection category is now available in the Store. Business and Premium subscribers can activate automated monitoring items that run in the background and feed results directly into the Annual Plan. Each item includes a 30‑day free trial.
Microsoft Secure Score (M365)
This automation:
- Tracks your Microsoft 365 Secure Score automatically on a recurring schedule (weekly by default).
- Results are stored automatically and ready the moment an auditor asks.
- With Premium, you can set KPI alert rules that trigger an incident when your score drops below a threshold you define.
The result: no more manual exports, no more last‑minute scrambling.
Microsoft Entra ID - MFA Check
This automation:
- Checks which users have MFA disabled, with configurable exemptions for specific users or groups.
- Conditional Access policies are evaluated automatically.
- If non‑exempt users are found with MFA off, the automation logs a finding and creates an incident routed to the responsible team.
Setup takes about 15 minutes and requires a one‑time authorization by an IT Admin.
Setup: authorize, set a schedule, run a test. IT Admin permissions required, one-time, about 15 minutes.
How results appear in your Annual Plan
Results are stored as a KPI.
You see:
- Success rate per period.
- Drill down into accepted results, findings, and errors.
- Automatic tasks when something fails.
Business and Premium customers can start with a 30‑day trial and subscribe to keep the automations active.
AI Assistant: Build Your Annual Plan in Minutes
Creating an Annual Plan from scratch typically means mapping controls to tasks, defining recurrence patterns, writing descriptions, building checklists. Most teams delay it into Q2, or repeat last year’s manual process.
The new AI assistant eliminates the blank page and builds from your risk analysis, not a generic template.
In the Annual Plan view, select Create Annual Plan. The assistant:
- Prioritizes controls based on your highest risks, implementation status, and compliance structure.
- Generates complete tasks (name, description, recurrence, checklist).
- Merges related controls into a single task.
- Allows adjustments before anything is added: choose chapters, rebundle tasks, or change properties.
Every suggestion goes through your review first. You remain in full control.
Not every control needs monitoring.
The assistant highlights which controls are unmonitored, but what you choose to include depends on your organisation and ISO scope. If you’re interrupted mid‑session, the assistant resumes right where you stopped.
