Features

Everything you need to get certified. Nothing you don't.

CertAssist was built by GRC and compliance consultants and auditors who wanted a tool that did the job, without the bloat and integrations that push other platforms into the thousands.

CertAssist assessment board
One clear board

See your whole framework at a glance

Every control sits on a single board, grouped the way the framework is structured, color-coded by status. No hunting through spreadsheets or endless tabs.

  • Status on every control
  • Search and filter instantly
  • Progress tracked automatically

Every control, documented

Capture the full story once

Open a control to record applicability, justification and how it's implemented, then attach the evidence. The Statement of Applicability is built for you as you go, and every change is logged.

  • Reason for inclusion or exclusion
  • Statement of Applicability handled for you
  • Full activity history per control

Guidance and templates

Never wonder what to produce next

Each control ships with a documentation checklist and an evidence checklist written by practitioners. Edit them to fit your business, tick items off, and build audit-ready evidence step by step.

  • Documentation and evidence checklists
  • Editable policy and evidence templates
  • Upload evidence against each item

Policy templates included

49 ready-made policies, so you never start from a blank page

Every workspace includes a library of 49 Word policy templates for ISO 27001 and SOC 2, from the Information Security Policy to access control, incident response, business continuity, privacy, a Code of Conduct and AI use. They are written by practising GRC consultants and auditors, in plain international English.

Download the ones you need, make them yours, and upload the finished policy so your auditor can review it in the same workspace.

  • 49 templates included in the plan, no add-on fee
  • Mapped to ISO 27001 and SOC 2, filter by framework
  • Upload the finished policy for your auditor

Built to be edited

Every decision marked, with a sensible default already suggested

Each template highlights exactly what you need to decide, and suggests a starting point so a small team is not left guessing: a 14 character minimum password, ten failed log-ons before lockout, a five minute screen lock. Keep the suggestion or change it, then remove the highlight.

  • Every blank comes with a suggested default
  • Add your logo, header, fonts and colours in Word
  • Roles, not job titles, so it fits a team of five or five hundred

Reporting

Show progress without building a slide

Every assessment has its own dashboard. One number for where you are, a 90-day trend, what moved in the last week and month, and a forecast date at your current pace. Bookmark it and send the link to your board.

  • Progress recorded nightly, so the trend is measured not estimated
  • Forecast completion at your current pace
  • Milestones and readiness checks in one view

Registers

The registers your auditor asks for, already built

Risk, third party suppliers, legal and regulatory obligations, authorities and interest groups, non-conformities, and the ISO 27001 maintenance tasks that keep a certificate alive between surveillance audits. Each is a proper register with owners, review dates and overdue flags, not a spreadsheet someone forgot to update.

  • Six registers included
  • Review dates and overdue flags on every record
  • Export any register to Excel

No integrations pulling your live data
No agents installed on your systems
No per-framework upsell
No long-term lock-in on monthly
No bloated feature set to learn
No five-figure annual invoice
