Run your ISMS in one platform

An information security management system is the frameworks you answer to, the controls beneath them and the documentation that proves the work happened. In .legal you run all three in the Frameworks module. We build the plan, not the filling-in.

The Frameworks overview in .legal, listing nine activated frameworks including ISO/IEC 27001, the NIS2 Directive, D-Seal and the AI Act, each with its owner, compliance areas, control count and status

Information security management Meridian's ISMS stopped living in three places at once

Anders Krogh is CISO at Meridian Nordic, an energy company that is an NIS2 essential entity and holds an ISO 27001 certification. His management system used to be a folder of policy documents, a spreadsheet of controls and a calendar of reminders he maintained himself, so the audit was always preceded by a fortnight of reconstruction. Now the frameworks he answers to are switched on in the Frameworks module, the controls sit beneath them with the standard's own numbering, and each control carries the tasks that document it, owned by the colleague who actually does the work. Anders works from the overdue list instead of from memory.

  • ISO 27001 and NIS2 run in the same module, on the same controls and the same body of documentation.
  • Every control carries the tasks that prove it, each with an owner, a frequency and the evidence attached.
  • Framework status moves by itself as colleagues complete their tasks, so nobody maintains a status field.
  • Overdue work is red and at the top, so preparing for an audit starts from a list rather than a scramble.

  • Run it in Frameworks

    Activate the frameworks you answer to, work the controls beneath them, and document against them. One module, not five tools.

  • The plan, not the filling-in

    You get the plan, the to-do list, the structure and the place the evidence goes. What the documentation says stays yours.

  • A record, not a detector

    The platform documents security work. It does not scan, and it is not a SIEM. We would rather say that before the demo than after.

  • Progress, not a verdict

    Framework status moves as tasks are completed. There is no single green light, because that number would not survive an auditor.

The ISO/IEC 27001:2022 framework opened in .legal, listing the Annex A.8 technological controls under the standard's own ids and names, each with a control coordinator

Information security management Your ISMS is the frameworks and the controls beneath them

An information security management system is not a screen you open. It is the frameworks you answer to, the controls beneath them, and the documentation that shows the work was done, and in .legal all three live in the Frameworks module.

  • Activate ISO 27001, NIS2 or another framework and its controls arrive predefined, 1:1 with the standard at control level.
  • Under each control sit the tasks somebody actually performs, documents and closes.
  • The descriptions and practical tips at task level are .legal's own writing, so the standard's own wording stays where it belongs, at control level.
Illustration of a board of mostly blank slots with a direction sign standing on it, two slots already filled and ticked, and a person holding a blank document ready to place

Information security management We build the plan, not the filling-in

That sentence is ours and it belongs near the top, because it is the shortest honest description of the product. You get the structure and the road map. The content is your work.

  • What arrives is a plan, a to-do list and an overview, so you know where to start and where it ends.
  • There are no content templates inside the editor, which is empty on purpose, because your structure and level of detail are yours. Standard policy texts ship as Word files you edit outside the platform.
  • We are a documentation platform rather than advisers, so there is no final stamp saying you comply.

Information security management An ISMS is not a SIEM

Customers arrive confused about this, sometimes in the same sentence, and it is a fair confusion between two four-letter acronyms. So here it is plainly: the platform documents security work, it does not watch your services.

  • It does not scan anything, and it never derives a status from breaches found automatically.
  • Incidents are registered by a person on a template, with the documentation attached afterwards, so the log proves the handling.
  • If a SIEM is what you actually need, this is not it and it does not replace one. Better said now than after the demo.
A completed task in .legal with its Frameworks section expanded, showing that the one task satisfies a control in ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and article 20 of the NIS2 Directive at the same time

Information security management Do the work once, and see it count everywhere

Your frameworks share one catalogue of tasks, over 300 activities at launch, each mapped in advance to the controls it satisfies. One completed task moves more than one thing.

  • A single task can satisfy several ISO 27001 controls and a NIS2 article at the same time.
  • Framework status updates itself as tasks are completed across the organisation, with no status field to maintain.
  • You can also see how far you already are towards a framework you have never set up, read off the work you are doing anyway.
The annual wheel in .legal laid out month by month, each recurring security activity carrying its id, its compliance areas and how often it repeats

Information security management The work runs on the annual wheel

A control nobody performs is just a document. Every recurring control lands as dated tasks on one annual wheel (årshjul), with an owner and a frequency you set.

  • Set the frequency in weeks, months or years, and a completed task comes back with a reminder when it expires.
  • Filter the wheel down to one framework before that framework's audit, or read every framework at once.
  • Overdue items are red and sorted to the top, and you can drill from the framework to the control to the task to the person.

Information security management Progress, not a verdict

There is no single green light per framework, and we would rather explain why than invent one. What you get are measures of how far you are, judged by work you are already doing.

  • Status is read per line, plus documentation progress on a framework you have activated.
  • A control part-way through its documentation is not the same thing as a control nobody has under control, so we do not roll it up into a compliance verdict.
  • Evidence is still collected by hand, typically as a screenshot or an export uploaded to the task. There are no integrations pulling status out of your systems today.
.legal in practice

Features for running your ISMS

The frameworks you answer to, predefined

ISO 27001, NIS2 and a long list beside them arrive with their controls already built. At control level the ids and naming are 1:1 with the standard, so an auditor recognises what they are looking at.

Controls with the tasks that document them

Under each control you create the concrete tasks that have to be documented and set a frequency in weeks, months or years. The evidence is attached to the task, and when the frequency expires the task comes back.

One shared catalogue, mapped across frameworks

The tasks sit below the frameworks in a catalogue that launched with over 300 activities, each mapped in advance to the controls it satisfies. Complete one, and every framework it belongs to moves with it.

The annual wheel, and the overdue list

Every recurring control lands as dated tasks on one annual wheel (årshjul) you can filter per framework. Overdue work is red and sorted to the top, with drill-down to the control, the task and the person.

Policies anchored to controls (add-on)

Write and version the policy in the platform and link a section to controls in an active framework. The control's current status is pulled up into the policy, and from the control you see which policies it is anchored in. Requires the Policy Management add-on.

Assets for IT and OT

The controls point at things, so the things are registered next to them. Assets hold IT systems, OT and other asset types on your own templates, with the vendors and processing activities attached to each one.

Information security management Frameworks this covers

Two frameworks, one management system underneath.

  • icon-framework-ISO

    ISO 27001

    The Annex A controls predefined and 1:1 with the standard, with the documentation gathered against them and the Statement of Applicability downloadable as Excel from the framework.

  • icon-framework-NIS2

    NIS2

    Structured at article level and standing on the same controls and the same tasks as your ISO work, with the Danish national and sector rules activatable alongside the base package.

Frequently Asked Questions about running your ISMS

What does it mean to run your ISMS in .legal?

An information security management system, usually shortened to ISMS, is not a separate screen in the platform. It is the frameworks you answer to, the controls beneath them and the documentation you produce against those controls. You run it in the Frameworks module: activate ISO 27001, NIS2 or another framework, work the controls that come with it, and document against them.

Is this a SIEM?

No, and the two get mixed up often enough that we would rather say so plainly. .legal is a documentation platform. It does not scan anything and it never derives a status from security breaches found automatically, which is exactly what a SIEM does. Incidents are registered by a person on a template, with the documentation attached afterwards. If a SIEM is what you need, this is not it and it does not replace one.

Do we have to type in all the controls ourselves?

No. The frameworks come predefined, and at control level the ids, numbering and naming match the standard 1:1. Underneath each control sit the tasks that document it, and those come from .legal's own catalogue, so the descriptions and practical tips at that level are our words rather than the standard's. That distinction matters if you were planning to stop reading the official documents.

What the Annex A controls are

Will you write our documentation?

No. We build the plan, not the filling-in. You get a plan, a road map, a structure and the place the evidence goes, so you know where to start and where it ends. What the documentation actually says is your work. .legal is a compliance software vendor rather than a law firm, so there is no advice and no final stamp that says you comply.

Can we get one compliance status per framework?

No, and that is deliberate. What you get is status per line, documentation progress on a framework you have activated, and a view of how far you already are towards a framework you have never set up, read off the tasks you are already doing. None of those is a verdict that says you comply. A control part-way through its documentation is not the same thing as a control nobody has under control, and a single green light would not survive an auditor asking how it was calculated.

How can one piece of work count towards several frameworks?

Because the tasks sit below the frameworks rather than inside them, in one shared catalogue that launched with over 300 activities. .legal has mapped each task to the controls it satisfies, in one framework or across several, so completing it and documenting it moves progress everywhere it belongs. Framework status updates itself from tasks being completed across the organisation, so nobody maintains a status field by hand.

How does the work actually get done day to day?

Under each control you create the tasks that have to be documented, set a frequency and give each one a named owner. The owner gets the task, attaches the evidence and closes it, and when the frequency expires it comes back with a reminder. Overdue work is red and sorted to the top, and you can drill from the framework to the overdue control to the task to the person responsible.

Does the platform collect the evidence for us?

No. There are no integrations to your own systems for this today, so the evidence is fetched by hand, typically as a screenshot or an export from the system it comes from, and uploaded to the task. It is where we would like to get to, and it is not where we are, so a page that implied otherwise would be selling you something we do not have.

Can we prepare an ISO 27001 audit without dragging the other frameworks into it?

Yes. Filter the activities and the calendar down to ISO 27001 and you work in that framework's own picture, control by control, with the documents attached to each one. The Statement of Applicability downloads as Excel from the ISO framework. Sharing the tasks underneath does not collapse the frameworks on top, which is what lets an auditor see the documentation in the context they are auditing.

What a Statement of Applicability is

Do colleagues need a licence to perform a control?

No. Users are unlimited, external users included, so the colleague in IT or operations who actually performs the check can get the task and document it themselves. A role can also be stripped down to the few menu items a pure task doer needs, and that part is role administration, which needs the Advanced User Management add-on.
