25 years of ISMS practice, cast into software
Anyone can make promises
Every vendor promises security, compliance and now AI too. For a company that wants to build and certify an ISMS, the problem is not a lack of tools but telling them apart: who really understands information security, and who has only built a quick surface? What separates substance from marketing is a track record you do not buy in a funding round.
Consulting built the platform, not the other way around
Cybervize did not start as a SaaS idea looking for domain expertise afterwards. The order was different: 25 years of audit and implementation practice led to Cybervize Consulting GmbH in 2021, and its daily work led to Cybervize Operations GmbH as the platform maker in 2023. The platform is the codification of a method proven over years in real ISMS projects, not a product that still has to prove it understands the domain.
What 25 years really mean
Experience is only an advantage when it is broad. A quarter century of information security at PwC, Deloitte and KPMG means financial services, telecommunications, public sector and industry. From mid-market to DAX corporations. IT and OT. This breadth is why the platform is not built for a single scenario but knows the patterns that repeat across industries and company sizes.
The auditor's perspective changes how you build an ISMS
As an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor since 2006 and a BSI IT-Grundschutz auditor, you see an ISMS from the direction it is ultimately judged from. That shapes the software: a Statement of Applicability, a risk register, evidence of control effectiveness are not documents you gather before the audit but a state that emerges continuously. Audit readiness is built in, not added later.
Implementation, not just advice
The difference between consulting and operating lies in implementation. Numerous ISMS implementations and interim CISO mandates over the years mean we know the point where a project stalls, because a plant has no resources for the next audit or because governance is felt as pure burden. The platform has internalised exactly these points of friction.
Why experience belongs in software, not in one person
Experience tied to one person does not scale and is a risk. That is why the method flowed into the platform and a senior CISO team, rather than into a consulting offer that ends with one person's calendar. The 25 years are the origin and the proof, not the bottleneck. Anyone using the platform works with codified audit practice, not the availability of a single consultant.
What this means for you
Governance should raise your security, not weigh your organisation down. On one data basis, ISO 27001, NIS-2, DORA, BCM and third-party risk come together instead of living in isolated tools. Operated in Germany, under your control. The foundation for this is not the features on a roadmap but 25 years in which we have seen what really holds up in regulated industries.
