KaitoSec
What is KaitoSec?
KaitoSec is a resilience and compliance platform for security teams managing ISO 27001, NIS2, BSI Grundschutz++, DORA, and GDPR requirements in parallel. It targets mid-market organizations and public-sector bodies in the DACH region that fall between spreadsheet-based tracking and enterprise GRC suites.
Key Features
Key Features
- Unified data model: Assets, risks, controls, evidence, policies, contracts, and business continuity plans exist in one relational structure rather than separate modules, so a control update reflects automatically across every framework it applies to.
- Framework crosswalk: A catalog browser maps controls across ISO 27001, BSI Grundschutz++, NIS2, DORA, and GDPR, deduplicating overlapping requirements so one piece of evidence can satisfy multiple frameworks at once.
- Guided workflow: A step-by-step dashboard walks admins and information security officers through asset inventory, requirements, risk treatment, and control implementation, in that order.
- Live readiness checklist: Certification-readiness items (management-approved policy, completed risk assessment, SoA, internal audit, awareness training, and more) fill in automatically as prerequisites are met elsewhere in the platform, instead of being reconstructed manually before an audit.
- Continuous evidence: Compliance status updates as work happens rather than being assembled once a year.
- Embedded AI assistant: Answers ISO 27001, NIS2, and BSI Grundschutz questions, plus platform usage questions, from within the application.
- Data portability: The underlying data model can be exported at any time.
- Community Edition: A free, self-hosted version is available for public-sector organizations working with BSI Grundschutz++, with no time limit or feature gating.
Differentiators
Many incumbent ISMS tools originated between 2008 and 2016 and manage ISMS, BCMS, and data-protection records as separate, loosely connected modules. KaitoSec consolidates these into a single data model and is built for continuous, day-to-day use across the organization rather than for a small compliance team assembling evidence before an annual audit.
