ISMS implementation is complex, time-consuming, and expensive

Implementing an ISMS can be costly and time-consuming. It requires professional guidance, specialist expertise, and can take months – or even years – to implement. Hiring an external information security consultant can be too expensive and out of budget.

COMPLEX & RESOURCE CONSUMING

Setting up an ISMS for your company can be a lot to take on. It requires a lot documentation which all need to be reviewed and put together by someone who has the technical know-how.

Often security managers don’t have the budget to do it right. Or they try too hard to create everything from scratch—throwing their whole security budget at it in one go. Unfortunately, this leads to an endless cycle of new implementations, with no progress made towards reaching your goals.

CONSULTANTS ARE NOT THE BEST FIT

There is plenty of information security consulting companies out there that can provide an ISMS but they often charge a lot for their services and required additional onboarding projects.

While external consultants are a good option for top-level companies, they are too expensive and time-consuming for small to medium enterprises. The cost of hiring an external consultant often is pretty high and required additional
time to find and manage it.
