ISMS Copilot for SaaS compliance
SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR — and a repeatable way to answer the customer security questionnaire that never stops arriving.
Turning the vendor security questionnaire into a programme
For a SaaS company, compliance is not driven by a regulator — it is driven by your customers' procurement teams. The forcing function is the vendor security questionnaire: SIG Lite, CAIQ, or a prospect's bespoke spreadsheet, arriving on every enterprise deal and asking the same hundred questions about access control, encryption, sub-processors, and incident response. Answered ad hoc, each one is a fire drill. The fix is to treat the questionnaire as the output of a real programme: a SOC 2 report (the AICPA Trust Services Criteria most US buyers expect), an ISO 27001 ISMS (what EU and global buyers expect), and GDPR Article 28 processor controls and a sub-processor list underneath both. Once those exist, the questionnaire becomes a lookup, not a research project. ISMS Copilot drafts the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 control set, maps the overlap so each control is written once, and turns recurring questionnaire answers into maintained, reusable policy text.

Frequently Asked Questions
We get a different security questionnaire on every deal — can ISMS Copilot help?
Yes. ISMS Copilot maps recurring questionnaire items (SIG, CAIQ, bespoke spreadsheets) to your SOC 2 and ISO 27001 control set so answers become a maintained lookup rather than a per-deal research project.
Should a SaaS company do SOC 2 or ISO 27001?
Often both, on different timelines — US buyers expect SOC 2, EU and global buyers expect ISO 27001. The Trust Services Criteria and ISO 27001 Annex A overlap substantially; ISMS Copilot generates a combined control matrix so you write each control once. See /frameworks/soc-2 and /frameworks/iso-27001.
We are a data processor for our customers — does it cover GDPR Article 28?
Yes. ISMS Copilot drafts processor-side GDPR documentation — records of processing, the sub-processor register, breach workflow, and data processing agreement clauses — which is exactly what enterprise questionnaires probe.
