🔄 Update policy:

  • All customers are notified by email when new updates are released

  • Minor updates (e.g., error corrections, improved instructions, minor enhancements) are free within 6-12 months of purchase (depending on the product)

  • Major updates (e.g., alignment with new versions of ISO/COBIT, content restructuring, additional modules) will be offered to previous customers at exclusive upgrade discounts

📌 Recommendation:
Keep your order confirmation email and reference ID to easily access update privileges in the future.

🎯 Our commitment is to ensure customers always have access to modern, comprehensive, and field-tested tools to support successful implementation.

9. Can I use the templates immediately, or do I need to adjust them first?

You can start using them right away. All templates are designed based on international best practices and are structured for immediate deployment.

Key features:

  • Built with real-world content and standard-compliant structures

  • Come with usage instructions and practical context

  • Organized by thematic modules for step-by-step or full-system deployment

However, to maximize relevance, we recommend:

  • ✏️ Adjusting certain fields (e.g., company name, department, KPIs, policies)

  • ✏️ Localizing formatting and language if needed for training or board-level presentations

🎯 With their professional design and ready-to-use content, the toolkits help you reduce 60-80% of documentation time while ensuring consistency and quality in execution.

10. Do toolkits come with user guides or instructions?

Yes. Every toolkit includes a comprehensive set of user guides to help you implement effectively - even without prior consulting experience.

Guides typically include:

  • Toolkit overview: Use cases, target users, structure, and application areas

  • How to use each document type: Purpose, real-life use cases, and rollout steps

  • Customization guidance: How to adapt the templates for your business size, industry, or internal policies

  • Workflow diagrams (if applicable): Showing logical connections among templates

  • Recommended implementation sequence: Step-by-step instructions for deploying by topic or by phase

🎯 Our goal is not just to provide professional templates, but to ensure you know how to apply them effectively - with or without external consultants.

11. Are templates within one toolkit duplicated across other toolkits?

No, contents are not duplicated. Each toolkit on IT-Toolkits.org is purpose-built for a specific role or governance function, ensuring no overlap between toolkits.

How we ensure content uniqueness:

  • Each toolkit is centered around a unique role or theme, such as CIO, CTO, CISO, CAIO, Digital Transformation, ISO 27001, etc.

  • Every template is written with specific use cases, responsibilities, and workflows of that role in mind.

  • The structure, fields, and metrics in each file are tailored to distinct business needs.

Example:
A "Technology Strategy Roadmap" in the CTO Toolkit is completely different from a "Digital Transformation Strategy" in the Digital Transformation Toolkit or an "AI Strategy Plan" in the CAIO Toolkit.

🎯 This role-based structure enables users to combine multiple toolkits without content redundancy, creating a comprehensive enterprise management system.

12. Can I purchase only specific parts or individual sections of a toolkit?

By default, our toolkits are offered as complete, full-featured packages to ensure:

  • Logical consistency and completeness across the full implementation process

  • A holistic view of the management or compliance framework

  • Avoiding gaps or missing critical templates by purchasing only partial content

🔄 However, in special cases, we can support:

  • Providing individual modules or sections (e.g., only the Risk Management section or only the Technology Strategy module)

  • Helping you select a tailored bundle based on your short-term needs

📩 Please contact our support team via email or the contact form for a custom quote or to request a sample preview before making a decision.

13. What payment methods are accepted?
