Why Control and Policy Management Software Is Essential for ISO 27001 Compliance, Stronger Risk Management, and Better Decision-Making

Effective control and policy management software gives organisations a single, centralised platform to create, test, and monitor their risk controls, replacing outdated spreadsheets and manual processes, giving you confidence that your controls program is managing risk effectively. With Symbiant, you can prove control effectiveness, simplify ISO 27001 certification, and reduce audit stress by linking controls directly to risks, incidents, and policies. Automated assessments, one-click Statements of Applicability, and real-time reporting ensure your teams stay compliant, accountable, and confident in every decision.

Demonstrate Compliance and Audit Readiness with Confidence

 Control and policy management software gives organisations the ability to evidence compliance against ISO 27001 and other regulatory frameworks with clarity and precision. By linking controls directly to risks, policies, and incidents, you create a defensible audit trail that proves not only that controls exist, but that they are actively monitored, tested, and effective.

Automate Control Testing and Strengthen Risk Assurance

With Symbiant’s  Risk Controls & Policies module, you can flag key and active controls, link them to assessments, and schedule regular testing through automated questionnaires. If a control fails, it is automatically deactivated and residual risk scores are updated in real time — giving you accurate visibility of your risk posture. Supporting documents, linked policies, and logged reviews ensure every control is auditable, accountable, and continuously monitored.

Continuous Assurance with Automated Testing and Remediation

Symbiant Controls & Policies Software enables ongoing assurance by combining automated control testing with dynamic risk updates and remediation tracking. Questionnaires can be scheduled to regularly test whether controls are effective, and if a test fails the system will automatically deactivate the control and adjust the residual risk scores of any linked risks. This ensures your risk register always reflects the current state of control effectiveness. In addition, the module provides built-in tools to log reviews, assign remedial actions with due dates, and track progress through to completion—creating a transparent, audit-ready record that strengthens compliance with ISO 27001 and other regulatory standards.

Continuous Assurance with Automated Testing and Remediation

Actions can be assigned with a due date, and assignees can provide progress updates while attaching any supporting documentation. This helps manage the control effectively and shows which risks would be affected if the control fails. You can also see which risks the control is linked to and whether it reduces the impact or likelihood of those risks. In addition, any reported incidents connected to the control are visible, providing full traceability. This information is extremely valuable when assessing or reviewing controls, as it links them directly to your risk scores. The Control Effectiveness Report highlights the most valuable controls and quantifies the risk reduction they deliver, helping determine the overall value of each control.
