From Friday 10 February, the latest version of YICE is available to all customers. Version 6.0 of YICE includes a number of larger and several smaller changes. Customers with a YICE licence will automatically have the latest version of YICE.

Multi Tenant

The main highlight from the release notes concerns the Multi Tenant functionality. The Multi Tenant makes it possible to manage multiple administrations within one YICE environment. This is useful, for example, for:

✔️ Concerns with multiple operating companies. Each operating company manages its own assets, risks, measures, actions and objectives. You can consolidate the information to group level and provide insight on a dashboard.

✔️ Consultants managing an ISMS for multiple customers. You quickly switch between different customer environments within one YICE environment. In addition, you can give your customer access to their own administration.

The YICE Multi Tenant dashboard

The Multi Tenant functionality is available for customers with a YICE Multi Tenant licence. Up to 10 administrations can be created within a Multi Tenant. For a demo, more information on the features or pricing information, please contact us.

Contact

Do you have questions regarding the release of YICE 6.0, or would you like to find out whether YICE is the right risk management and compliance solution for you? Then please feel free to contact us and ask all your questions.

ISO 27002 has changed and that will also have consequences for ISO 27001.

The familiar set of Annex-A controls is being overhauled. From 14 to 4 chapters and from 114 to 93 controls. Attributes are also added for each control, such as #corrective or #integrity. Many old controls are reflected in the new standard, but controls have also been merged or are completely new.

YICE is fully prepared for the new standard, including the control attributes. Moreover, it is easy to make links between the old and new standard. This certainly comes in handy in a transition period. The advantage of the control attributes is that they can also be used in YICE to quickly find suitable controls for a certain risk, which saves a lot of searching. Useful!

Sooner or later the changes will have an impact on your ISO 27001 implementation and certification. Perhaps a good time to move to a robust GRC environment, such as YICE.

Curious? Let me know and we’ll make an appointment!

Grateful and proud that we were able to double the number of YICE customers this year. With even more passion we will continue on the chosen path in 2022: Offering a smart, no-nonsense and affordable GRC platform.

ISO, GDPR, CIS, NIST, DNB, EBA, Fedramp, Wwft, NEN, BIO ,,… do you still see the controls through the jungle of control frameworks?

The demands of customers and regulators seem to be increasing every day and are often overlapping. How can you demonstrate that you meet all the requirements? With an ISO certificate? With an ISAE 3402 report? A SOC2 report? A right-to-audit? A combination of these? And how can you set up an effective and efficient control process, without checking the same subject 3 times? And how and where do you record the results?

If you can relate to these challenges, you have probably outgrown MS Excel as a registration tool. You need one central GRC system in which you can record all requirements and that supports you in your compliance challenges. A system that also anticipates new requirements from stakeholders, which can change on a daily basis; ClientA requires an encrypted database, clientB requires a backup twice a day and clientC wants an extra strong SSL certificate. Help!

Fortunately, the solution is nearby: YICE, a versatile, practical and affordable choice. And security comes first, YICE B.V. is also in possession of an ISO 27001 certification.

Shall we schedule a (virtual) meeting to brainstorm about your GRC challenges? I would be happy to give you a YICE demo right away.

For the further development of the GRC platform YICE, I have a nice internship assignment in Amersfoort for a UX/UI designer. The exact interpretation and planning are flexible. If you are or know someone who might be interested, please do not hesitate to contact me.
