How they were achieving compliance before CyberArrow?

Before implementing CyberArrow, the government entity in Vancouver, Canada relied on a manual approach to achieve ISO 27001 compliance.

This approach required significant time and resources, making the process slow and difficult to manage.

Key activities were handled manually, including:

  • Tracking security controls using spreadsheets.
  • Assessing controls through questionnaires and meetings.
  • Identifying required security configurations across IT systems.
  • Capturing screenshots as audit evidence.
  • Creating security policies and procedures from scratch.
  • Coordinating with employees to review and approve required documentation.

As a result, the compliance process became time-consuming, costly, and inefficient, limiting the organization’s ability to scale and maintain consistent compliance.

The government entity in Vancouver, Canada now manages its ISO 27001 compliance program using CyberArrow, enabling a fully automated and structured approach to compliance.

  • Continuous monitoring of control implementation and compliance status across IT systems through technical integrations.
  • Automated risk assessment programs to identify and manage cybersecurity risks.
  • Ongoing monitoring of security controls using KPI-based tracking.
  • Automated delivery of security awareness training across the organization.
  • Streamlined audit process through integration with certified auditors, enabling efficient and structured audits within the platform.
  • Continuous compliance through real-time monitoring and updates aligned with ISO 27001 requirements.

This transformation allowed the organization to move from manual processes to a fully automated compliance framework.
