LEADING ORGANISATIONS AND PARTNERS RELY ON THE AKARION GRC CLOUD

Do you also spend more time on documentation in Excel and Word than on the actual implementation of your ISMS? With the AKARION GRC Cloud we optimise the use of your time by using numerous intelligent connections and innovative processes.

A smart module designed around your efficiency

The Information Security module provides you with the tools, documentation and knowledge you need to manage information security holistically. 

mitigate business risks
Support your employees with predefined risk analyses to facilitate the rapid and comprehensive creation of the optimal gross/net risk scenarios, identification of suitable mitigating measures, and monitoring of their implementation.
Manage dependencies
Model internal supply or dependency chains and ensure that the requisite protection requirements are derived from the associated business processes. Use this modelling in conjunction with our BCM module to identify SLA/OLA underperformance and risks in your company, allowing you to take appropriate action.
prepare for an audit
By combining controls, audits, documents and measures, you can significantly reduce the preparation time for your next system audit. This is achieved by ensuring that all information is available in an up-to-date, systematic and audit-proof manner.
Sichern Sie sich die Vorteile der AKARION GRC-Cloud, verbringen Sie weniger Zeit mit Dokumentation und setzen Sie dadurch Ressourcen frei für die wichtige Umsetzung Ihrer Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Informationssicherheit und Cyber-Resilienz.

AKARION allows us to organise our company in the best possible way within the tool.

We can quickly and easily map the business processes, determine the protection requirements and model the dependency chains of the assets, which also inherit the protection requirements directly from the business process. SLA/OLA breaches can be identified, complemented by smart functionality that also strengthens and serves business continuity. These are images and workflows that have become indispensable for us.

Through my work as an Information Security Risk Manager, I am very familiar with the functionality of risk management in the ISMS tool through my daily work. I particularly appreciate the simple handling of the sophisticated complexity and the visualisation of the interrelationships, from an asset to a complex business process. The information gained is of great benefit to us. I can highly recommend Akarion and the ISMS module in particular, as I am convinced of the user-friendly implementation of complex information security requirements.

With the help of AKARION, we can now efficiently map the necessary inspections. Thanks to the automatic audit plans, systematic and regular audits can be carried out according to a defined interval. All important information is displayed automatically, clearly and concisely in the dashboard of the ISMS module. This greatly reduces our workload compared to manual checks!

I have finally found a tool that allows me to carry out comprehensive risk analyses, taking into account both information security and data protection. The resulting synergies can be exploited to the full. In addition, I use a detailed catalogue of measures that specifically addresses various risks and vulnerabilities and rounds off the whole process perfectly.

A holistic approach to Information Security

In your day-to-day work as an information security officer, have you ever noticed that information security management rarely stands alone? The basics of information security are very similar, often identical, to those of data protection or emergency management. It is therefore best to use one tool for all subjects. With our Information Security module, you can see how you can combine all relevant compliance management topics into one and thus reap the benefits of digitalisation.

Identify and respond to risks quickly

You already have an information security management system in place and an Information Security Officer (ISO). However, your IT infrastructure and your interactions with external parties are very complex. This makes it difficult for your organisation to keep track of all the interdependencies between the information assets to be protected (e.g. confidential business documents) and the resources used (i.e. assets such as software and hardware), and to quickly identify risks and the necessary measures. With our intelligent ISMS with built-in inheritance system, you will not only build your ISM comprehensively, but also sustainably and effectively.

Perfectly prepared for the certification process

Whether it is ISO 27001 or VDA ISA, you need to prepare yourself and your organisation for certification and the subsequent surveillance audits. The key to successful and sustainable certification is to have all relevant control and risk catalogues in view and to document everything according to PDCA. Use the ISMS module of the GRC Cloud and make your information security management audit-proof through continuous documentation.

Features overview

Get everything you need to set up your own information security management system
Customisable asset and risk management

Keep your most important assets in one place. You can see important relationships at a glance, such as whether records are referenced or have recently changed. Capture and document your organisation's assets (hardware, software, people, etc.) using a wide range of templates. Personalise values for protection objectives, risk categories and matrices, assessment periods, etc. to tailor the module to your organisation and ISM methodology.

  
Intuitive handling of the risks and visual determination of the need for protection

Identify and document existing risks (e.g. fire) and address them with appropriate measures (e.g. fire extinguishers). You can also define and visualise the protection needs of your information assets based on requirements for confidentiality, integrity, availability, or other protection objectives such as authenticity.

  
Efficient use of standard catalogues Use the freely selectable risk, hazard and control catalogues in the Information Security module (e.g. ISO 27001, BSI-GS, VDA ISA (TISAX.) PCI-DSS, B3S). You can also import, maintain and map other common sets of standards and controls. For example, the ISMS can support the creation of regulatory documents (e.g. the Statement of Applicability).  
Holistic risk assessment and management

Identify your organisation's critical vulnerabilities and risks, and document the actions you take to address them and their impact on risk. As you analyse and manage risks, you can efficiently record them and automatically escalate them to lower levels.

  
Visualise the protection requirements of multi-tiered business processes

Capture all your business processes at a glance by documenting all stages, such as sub-processes and protection requirements analyses. This gives you a comprehensive and easy-to-understand visualisation of all your business processes.

  
Clear and concise incident management

Stay on top of security incidents at all times. Efficient workflow management allows you to assign tasks to incidents. Keep track of not only open tasks, but also changes to the incident and the current risk posture of your organisation.

MULTITENANCY It is possible to manage subsidiaries and branches separately in each module, regardless of whether you work in a group or as a consultant managing multiple clients. It is possible to logically separate all companies from one another, and to monitor clients and companies via a central dashboard, should this be required.
TEMPLATE SYSTEM The extensive cross-module and cross-client template system in all modules allows users to save time. This feature of the GRC Cloud allows users to work more efficiently, particularly in the context of complex company and group structures.
DASHBOARDS Use customisable dashboards to maintain a comprehensive overview of critical data pertaining to all compliance matters within your company or group. Additionally, you can monitor time-critical processes, key performance indicators, security incidents and outstanding tasks.
REPORTING The GRC Cloud allows users to create bespoke reports across all modules and compliance topics, providing a comprehensive overview of all processed data. Generate reports and documentation with a single click, such as a comprehensive overview of your business processes or processing activities. Ensure you are always prepared for inspections by authorities, clients, etc. by issuing comprehensive reports and gain a quick and easy overview.
TASK MANAGEMENT The event-related task management functionality enables collaboration with both internal colleagues and external experts in the system. The system allows users to assign tasks, define deadlines and responsibilities, and set notifications based on individually defined parameters. The Compliance Cloud facilitates teamwork in compliance management.
INTERNATIONALITY The modules are designed for multilingual use and feature automated translation into over 23 languages (including DE, EN, FR, IT), regardless of the location or languages spoken in your organisation. This enables every user in the system to work in their preferred language with a single click. Furthermore, the system is capable of mapping a wide range of national and international standards, including those related to data protection law.
