I've been looking into ISO27001 audit tools, and honestly, most of them seem ridiculously expensive, especially for small to medium businesses. I'm curious to hear from anyone who's used these tools: do you find them effective? How often do you actually use them? I'm also considering whether it's worthwhile to develop a cost-effective audit tool that doesn't require a ton of customization. Additionally, how essential is ISO27001 certification for small and medium businesses?

In my experience, quite a few small to medium businesses actually need ISO27001 compliance. Often, it's a requirement when bidding for certain contracts. Without it, you may face significant limitations.
If your business relies on ISO certification because clients demand it, then it’s a necessary investment. There are some tools tailored for smaller businesses, like Secureframe, which could be worth checking out.
Totally agree! It often feels like a buzzword management knows about, even if they may not fully grasp its benefits.
