Kordon vs. PlanPro

See how Kordon and PlanPro compare for information security management, E-ITS compliance, and ISO 27001.

Kordon GRC Platform
PlanPro Organisational Management Suite

Built for security, or built for everything?

PlanPro is a capable organisational management platform. Kordon is a GRC platform built to run an actual information security program — where controls either work or they don't, and your risk scores tell the truth.

Built for one job

Every feature in Kordon — controls, risks, tasks, evidence — exists to run an ISMS. When a control goes from Implemented to Failing, every connected risk reflects that immediately. There are no trade-offs for use cases that have nothing to do with security.

PlanPro

Security is one tab among many

PlanPro covers HR conversations, budget planning, strategy, time tracking, and E-ITS compliance from one interface. It's an impressive all-rounder, but security wasn't the lens through which it was designed.

Frameworks ready to use on day one

Kordon comes preloaded with E-ITS, ISO 27001, NIS2, SOC 2, and more — requirements already structured, controls already mappable. A single control can satisfy requirements across multiple frameworks at once, so if you're already working towards E-ITS, ISO 27001 starts from the same foundation.

PlanPro

No preloaded framework requirements

As a generic management platform, PlanPro can technically be applied to any compliance need — but there are no preloaded requirement sets, no framework structure, and no control-to-requirement mapping. You would be building from a blank slate.

A connected picture of your whole program

Assets, vendors, business processes, and controls are distinct objects in Kordon — each with live health status that cascades through connections. A failing control marks its risks as unmitigated. Unmitigated risks mark connected assets as At Risk. That rolls through to the business processes that depend on them. You see the whole chain.

PlanPro

Everything flows through the risk register

In PlanPro, E-ITS is implemented through the risk register: categories become risk rows, mitigation measures become tasks. Assets and business processes can be referenced via configurable classifiers within risks, but they aren't standalone objects with their own lifecycle, owners, or health status. There's no connected object graph — and no way to see the whole chain at a glance.

Every control is either working or it isn't

In Kordon, every control is Implemented, Failing, or Not Implemented — driven by real completed tasks, not documentation. A control without current evidence isn't green. When one lapses, the risks it was mitigating immediately return to their unmitigated levels. There's no hiding behind ticked boxes.

PlanPro

No control lifecycle

PlanPro has risk rows and mitigation tasks, but no concept of a control as a managed object with a lifecycle. There's nothing that tracks whether a mitigation measure is active, lapsed, or failing — and nothing that feeds that status back into risk exposure.

Policies ship with the platform

Kordon includes 20+ policy templates that have passed real ISO 27001 audits — information security policy, access control policy, incident management policy, and more. Edit them to fit your organisation or write from scratch. Each policy links directly to the controls and requirements it governs.

PlanPro

No document or policy management

PlanPro has no document management concept. Policies, procedures, and governance documents live outside the platform — in SharePoint, Google Drive, or wherever else. Nothing connects a policy to the risks and controls it's supposed to govern.

Your auditor gets their own view

Auditors get read-only access to exactly what they need: requirements, controls, tasks, evidence, and findings — connected and ready. Nonconformities trace directly to the requirement they violate and the control that failed. No spreadsheets, no email chains.

PlanPro

Audit preparation done manually

PlanPro consolidates evidence in one place but has no dedicated auditor access portal and no findings system for tracking nonconformities, incidents, or improvement opportunities through to resolution.
