ISO 27001 System for Information Security and ISMS
Use control management for Annex A controls, risk management according to ISO 27005, and supplier registry for supplier security. Everything to build and maintain your ISMS.
Control management for Annex A
ISO 27001 requires you to implement controls from Annex A. Build your control catalog in ChainSec, document implementation per control and track applicability. A pre-built ISO 27001 catalog is on the roadmap.
Risk management according to ISO 27005
ISO 27001 requires a risk-based approach. Document assets in the asset registry, assess risks in the risk matrix according to ISO 27005, and link controls to risks with the Asset-Risk-Control framework.
Supplier security according to A.5.19-A.5.23
ISO 27001 Annex A requires supplier controls. Use the supplier registry to document suppliers, send security assessments, and ensure that supplier agreements meet ISO 27001 requirements.
ChainSec consolidates security work in one platform where you can manage risks, control suppliers, and document your work according to ISO 27001 - without scattered information and manual processes.
What does ISO 27001 entail?
ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security that helps organizations implement, monitor, and continuously improve an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The standard provides a systematic approach to protecting sensitive information.
To meet the requirements in ISO 27001, your organization needs to:
Establishment of a systematic Information Security Management System (ISMS)
Control over internal and external risks with structured risk management
Continuous improvement with measurable security goals and follow-up
Build your ISMS. Keep it current.
ISO 27001 certification requires a living ISMS — not a static document. Security work scattered across Excel files and shared drives will not satisfy an auditor. Here is how ChainSec structures it.
Work through Annex A systematically
Build your own control catalog or start from our NIS2 template and adapt it to Annex A. Document implementation for each control, upload evidence and link policies. Document applicability per control — a pre-built ISO 27001 catalog is on the roadmap.
Assess risks per ISO 27005
Register information assets in the asset register and assess ICT risks in the risk matrix using likelihood × consequence methodology. Link Annex A controls to each risk to show a documented, risk-based approach.
Document supplier security controls
ISO 27001 Annex A requires documented supplier controls. Gather suppliers in the registry, link contracts and certificates, send security assessments and track follow-up — structured evidence of how you manage third-party security.
Drive PDCA continuously
Turn control gaps into actions with owners and deadlines. Follow progress in kanban, close gaps and document your Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle. Continuous improvement becomes traceable, not just claimed.

Book a demo and we'll show you how you can handle gap analyses and supplier reviews in one system – instead of Excel. After the demo, you can test the platform for free.
Frågor och svar
- What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) that provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information. The standard contains requirements for how organizations should establish, implement, maintain, and continuously improve their information security work.
- How does ChainSec help with ISO 27001 compliance?
ChainSec provides you with the tools for ISO 27001: control management for Annex A controls and SoA, risk management according to ISO 27005 with asset registry and risk matrix, supplier registry for A.5.19-A.5.23, and action management for continuous improvement. Everything documented and ready for certification audit.
- What are the benefits of ISO 27001 certification?
An ISO 27001 certification provides many benefits, including improved security management, increased credibility with customers and partners, better compliance with laws and regulations, reduced risk of security incidents, and potential cost savings through more efficient processes.
- How long does it take to get started with ChainSec?
You can complete a self-assessment of your IT security in under 30 minutes. Setting up the basic structure in ChainSec typically takes less than an hour. After that, you can start adding suppliers and managing risks immediately. We also offer a free 14-day trial so you can try the platform.
- How does ISO 27001 relate to supplier security?
ISO 27001 sets specific requirements for managing supplier relationships in Annex A.15. Organizations must verify that suppliers with access to sensitive information follow appropriate security procedures. This includes risk assessments of suppliers, security agreements, and continuous monitoring of suppliers' security work. ChainSec simplifies this through automated supplier controls and a central registry.
