Smooth transition from BIO to BIO2 thanks to smart GRC tooling

The Baseline Information Security for Government (BIO) is getting an update: BIO2. As a CISO or ISO, this means reassessing existing controls, reviewing risks, and reporting to executives and auditors. Sounds like a big task, but you’re not on your own. The ISMS solution from Key Control Dashboard supports your organization in the transition to BIO2. Fun fact: our first clients are already live!

Experience with BIO: familiar ground

From the very beginning, BIO has been a key consideration in the development of Key Control Dashboard and our ISMS solution. That’s why government organizations have been using our platform for years to stay in control of their information security—and therefore BIO compliance. Key features include:

  • Standards framework management
  • Control management
  • Performing risk analyses
  • Supporting audits and accountability processes

For us, BIO isn’t just a checklist—it’s daily practice. That’s why the transition to BIO2 is not only clear and manageable for you, but also fully integrated into our software, consultants, and project managers.

What’s changing with BIO2?

BIO2 isn’t a completely new framework, but an evolution. The focus is shifting towards risk-based approaches, alignment with emerging threats, and stronger connections to regulations like NIS2 and DORA. Key updates include:

  • Rewritten and updated control measures
  • Greater emphasis on context and risk assessment
  • Improved alignment with international standards

Our solution is ready for BIO2

No need to wait for a full rebuild, we  already integrated BIO2 into the best-practice base model of Key Control Dashboard. That means you’re ready to hit the ground running:

  • Immediately explore the new control structure
  • Map existing BIO controls to BIO2
  • Perform gap analyses against your current situation

Whether you’re switching over entirely, using both frameworks side by side for a while, or phasing it in gradually, the choice is yours, and we support it.

Shaping your transition together

Our first clients are already fully working with BIO2 in Key Control Dashboard. Together, we shape their transition step by step with a proven approach:

  • Import historical BIO results
  • Map BIO standards to BIO2
  • Set up user roles and a decentralized control framework

No two transitions are the same, so we tailor the approach to your situation. We’ll help you reuse existing measures, adapt your ISMS to the new structure, and create clear reports for executives, auditors, and regulators. No endless spreadsheets or custom projects that take months, just practical, ready-to-use support. With our software and guidance, your transition to BIO2 becomes clear, manageable, and achievable.

What you can do today

BIO2 is here. How you implement it depends on your organization, but you can start now. For example: Request a demo of our BIO2 setup, run a quick scan on your current controls, work with us to create a concrete step-by-step plan.

Why is that important? Because BIO2 is more than a new set of controls. It’s your chance to rethink your information security approach, sharpen risk definitions, and make your ISMS future-proof.

With our ISMS solution in Key Control Dashboard and over 16 years of experience, we ensure you stay ahead, not behind.
