ISO 27005 Software and Risk Assessment Tool
Run a risk assessment true to ISO 27005 principles with EBIOS RM, prefilled by AI and validated by your experts, on a platform built in France.
What ISO/IEC 27005 is and why it matters
ISO/IEC 27005 is the international standard that provides guidance for information security risk management, supporting the management system defined in ISO/IEC 27001. It frames how organizations identify, analyze, evaluate and treat the risks affecting their information assets. For a CISO, it is the methodological backbone that makes security decisions defensible and repeatable. Its close alignment with the French EBIOS RM method makes it a cornerstone of structured risk governance.
How Vailor helps you apply ISO 27005
ISO 27005 sets guidelines, not a method, and Vailor does not implement it as a method of its own. Vailor covers EBIOS RM end to end, across its five workshops: a method compatible with ISO 27005 principles. On top of that come a flash assessment for less critical projects and, if needed, your in-house method integrated through custom development. You find the standard's steps there: context, scenario identification and analysis, evaluation against your scales and matrix, then treatment. The AI reads your documents and prefills fields from excerpts, your experts validate, and risks feed a register linked to the measures in the action plan.
Why an AI-native solution built in France
Risk analysis is far more than filling spreadsheets: it demands judgment, context and regular updating. In Vailor, the AI proposes and your experts decide: it cuts the collection and formatting work without ever deciding for you, and only the named business owner accepts each residual risk, one by one. Every decision is traced, and each new version of the assessment follows an operational or strategic cycle. As SaaS, your analyses are stored in France (AWS Paris region); Vailor also installs in your own infrastructure, and your data is never used to train models.
A platform built for risk analysis
AI prefill
The AI reads your documents and proposes content for each field of the analysis, from verifiable excerpts. Your experts validate.
Faster assessments
Start from your documents rather than a blank page: the effort moves from collection to judgement calls.
Traceable decisions
Every treatment choice is timestamped, justified and auditable, demonstrating the rigor of your process to auditors and the board.
Data sovereignty
As SaaS, your analyses and risk register are stored in France (AWS Paris region), or on your premises.
What you gain with Vailor
Frequently asked questions about ISO 27005
What is the difference between ISO 27005 and ISO 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 sets the requirements for an information security management system and mandates a risk assessment, without saying how to run one. ISO/IEC 27005 provides exactly those guidelines: risk identification, analysis, evaluation and treatment. In short, 27001 is certifiable and says what to do, 27005 is not certifiable and says how to do it. In practice the two are worked together.
Can you get certified against ISO 27005?
No. ISO/IEC 27005 is a guidelines standard, not a requirements standard: no body issues an ISO 27005 certificate. What gets certified is ISO/IEC 27001, and the auditor will then check that your risk assessment approach is coherent and repeatable. Relying on ISO 27005 is one of the most common ways to demonstrate that.
Can EBIOS RM be used to satisfy ISO 27005?
Yes, and it is the most common pairing in France. EBIOS Risk Manager is the method published by ANSSI; ISO 27005 is a guidelines framework that mandates no particular method. EBIOS RM is therefore a perfectly acceptable way to run the risk assessment ISO 27005 expects, with the advantage of being recognised by French authorities and aligned with what ISO 27001 auditors look for.
Which version of ISO 27005 is current?
The current version is ISO/IEC 27005:2022, which replaced the 2018 edition. It reorganises the text around the notion of risk scenario and clarifies how it fits with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 31000. If your internal methodology predates 2022, it is worth rereading against this edition.
Why use ISO 27005 software rather than a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet keeps neither the history of decisions nor the link between an asset, a scenario, a risk and its treatment. That link is precisely what an auditor asks to see. ISO 27005 software maintains it, refreshes the risk map when something changes, and produces the deliverables without re-keying. The gain is not only time: it is being able to justify a decision made eighteen months ago.
How long does an ISO 27005 risk assessment take?
On a mid-sized scope, a spreadsheet-based assessment typically takes several weeks of combined effort from the CISO and the business teams, with most of that time spent collecting and formatting rather than analysing. With Vailor, the AI reads your documents and prefills fields from excerpts: the collection and formatting share shrinks, and the effort shifts onto the judgement calls, which remain yours.
