CISO Assistant: the open source GRC platform
CISO Assistant is an open source governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform that centralizes frameworks, compliance assessments, risk management, action plans and evidence, replacing scattered spreadsheets with a single tool.
Definition
CISO Assistant is open source software for GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance): it brings together in a single tool the management of frameworks (ISO 27001, NIS2, SOC 2...), compliance assessments, risk mapping, action plan tracking and the linking of evidence to requirements.
Because it is open source, it removes dependency on a proprietary vendor (“vendor lock-in”): the data and the tool remain the property of the organization using them, regardless of the provider that deployed and configured it.
Key points
Open source & sovereign
An open solution, with no vendor dependency, hostable according to your sovereignty requirements, including internally without internet access.
Multi-framework
Manage several standards and regulatory frameworks in parallel by pooling shared requirements and evidence.
One tool, not spreadsheets
Frameworks, risks, action plans and evidence in one place, saving time and improving reliability during audits.
How BCIT can support you
Installing CISO Assistant is not enough to make it a living tool: it must be configured around your frameworks and real risks, then your teams must be trained to use it. BCIT supports you from deployment to adoption on our dedicated page CISO Assistant implementation.
Frequently asked questions
Is CISO Assistant free?
The Community version is completely free and open source. A PRO version, billed according to the number of active contributors, adds features such as bulk data import.
How is it different from a proprietary GRC tool?
As an open source solution, CISO Assistant removes the risk of vendor lock-in: the tool and the data remain accessible and usable, whether or not the relationship with the provider that deployed it continues.
