Decision tip: If your biggest pain is the effort to keep controls green every day, lean Sprinto. If your biggest need is a clear, guided home for your ISMS with wide framework options, lean ISMS.online.
Sprinto automates control tests, maps evidence across systems, raises alerts, and maintains a live compliance posture. Teams get fewer spreadsheets, fewer screenshots, and fewer follow-ups.
ISMS.online automates parts of the process but focuses on clarity, ownership, and structure. It is excellent for teams building muscle memory around the ISMS lifecycle.
Why it matters: Automation cuts the cost of staying compliant. If you want always-on compliance with minimal manual lift, Sprinto has the edge.
Sprinto supports major standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, ISO 27701, ISO 27017, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, and more. Common control mapping helps teams add frameworks without starting over.
ISMS.online supports a wide range of frameworks and privacy regimes and is designed for organizations that plan to expand their ISMS to multiple standards over time.
Callout: Both cover ISO 27001 well. If your roadmap involves many adjacent standards inside one ISMS workspace, ISMS.online is attractive. If you need shared controls and reuse of evidence across cloud-centric frameworks, Sprinto is efficient.
Auto-collects, time-stamps, and organizes evidence. Auditors can be invited into a controlled window, and teams avoid email chains.
Centralizes documentation, supports versioning and approvals, and gives auditors a structured path through your ISMS.
Sprinto links risks to controls and ownership, supports quantitative and qualitative scoring, and ties findings to remediation workflows.
ISMS.online provides a full ISMS workbench for risk registers, assets, KPIs, and improvement actions, with clear governance across the lifecycle.
Practical read: If you want risk tightly coupled to automated tests and alerts, Sprinto is strong. If you want a classic ISMS model with rich governance artifacts, ISMS.online feels natural.
Sprinto integrates deeply with cloud platforms, IDPs, code repos, ticketing, HRIS, and endpoint tools to drive automation and continuous collection.
ISMS.online integrates across common stacks and supports importing artifacts into a structured ISMS space.
Bottom line: Both connect well, but Sprinto typically drives more background automation from those connections.
Sprinto and ISMS.online both help teams achieve ISO 27001 and beyond. The best fit depends on how you prefer to work.
Both can get you certified. The right choice hinges on whether you want an automation engine or a guided ISMS workspace.
