Ready for the Audit, Buried in Spreadsheets

Level Software is a young company, which with the application LEVEL offers local governments a total solution for all work within the framework of the WOZ Act and for levying and collecting municipal taxes. The company currently has about 45 permanent employees.

In order to participate in tenders within the field in which Level Software operates, ISO 27001 certification is necessary because of information security, among other things. Tanja de Haan, information security officer at Level, has been working with ISOPlanner™ on the process of achieving this ISO certification since June 2022.

Level Software had the documentation for the certification in order and was ready for the audit, but the information was not optimally digitized. Tanja worked mostly with Excel sheets and checklists, where entering and checking all the tasks was time consuming.

Help to Do It Ourselves

Word of mouth put Level Software in touch with ISOPlanner™. After a Teams session in which Ivar van Duuren walked through the possibilities, Tanja started the implementation, with the audit set for the end of October 2022.

Filling That Does the Work for You

Getting started went smoothly. The filling process is user-friendly: you choose the filling you want, ISOPlanner™ prepares it, and the measures and risks are immediately visible. Manual input is no longer necessary, which saves time and prevents errors.

Everything Connected, Ready to Use

ISOPlanner™ shows how measures, risks, tasks, policy, objectives and annual plans relate, all linked and ready to use. An auditor sees the whole picture immediately, without searching through bulky Excel sheets.

Solutions Within 24 Hours

Level Software and Ivar agreed that any problem with ISOPlanner™ would be solved within 24 hours, and he has kept his word. The ISOPlanner™ team is approachable, flexible and reliable.

Support in Five Minutes

The in-app support works well: send a screenshot of the problem and within five minutes an email arrives with the expected resolution time. When Tanja couldn't work out how to link two items, Ivar walked her through it over Teams and followed up with a video.

Next Stop: ISAE 3402

After ISO 27001 certification, Level Software and ISOPlanner™ plan to move straight on to preparing for ISAE 3402, a new project to tackle together.

What was stuck in Excel sheets and checklists became a linked, audit-ready ISMS, set up in-house in a matter of months. Level Software now manages ISO 27001 with everything connected and ready for any auditor, backed by support that replies within minutes, and with ISAE 3402 already next on the list.
