Why is ISMS Copilot Free?

Ok, let’s clarify. You know the proverb.

“If it’s free, it means you’re the product”. Fck that.*

We’re not using your conversations, personal data or company information to train our assistants.

As explained several times, we just perform conversation reviews to see if the assistants “did good”. If they answered something inaccurate, we seek to improve the bot’s body of knowledge, or change the underlying LLM for another one.

We don’t need nor want any of your personal or business data. It wouldn’t make our ISO 27001 guidance (or any other) “more accurate”. Imagine if the EU AI Act Copilot would “learn” something each time a user was trying to determinate whether they’re in scope of the Act or not. What a mess. That’s why we stick to a strict, controlled, high-quality dataset.

So, why did we release a free version of ISMS Copilot then? I’ll explain.

First, thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We're honored that you're considering ISMS Copilot.

I'm Tristan, ISMS Copilot's founder, and I'll help clarify:

• How ISMS Copilot generates revenue (with a short backstory)
• How we manage to offer a free version while maintaining quality
• Who we are and what we're building for the future
• Our mission to make security compliance accessible
• And why you're crucial in helping us achieve this mission

So, why offer a free product?

When we launched in 2024, we weren't the first AI for security compliance. Big consulting firms and established GRC platforms were already using AI.

According to various market research firms, the GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) software market is expected to reach $15 billion by 2025, with dozens of established players.
