Getting started with goiso: a first tour

2 minOrg ownerCompliance manager

goiso turns compliance from an annual scramble into an ongoing state: it gathers your evidence from day-to-day operations and gets you ready for the auditor before they ever knock on the door.

What you see on the start screen

The start screen has three main doors:

  1. Setup — Sites, Assets, and Team: the foundation everything else builds on.
  2. Compliance — activating certificates, tracking their clauses, and measuring your readiness.
  3. Boards — inspections, tasks, and incidents: where the day-to-day work happens.

The order above is deliberate — it's also the order you should work in.

Step 1 — Build the foundation (Setup)

Before activating any certificate, introduce the platform to your facility:

  1. Sites: add your main site (factory, warehouse, facility) and any sub-sites beneath it.
  2. Assets: register the equipment and systems that matter for safety (electrical panels, cranes, fire extinguishers...).
  3. Team: add your team members with their roles — compliance manager, safety officer, staff.

Why first? Because the seed wizard in step three distributes inspections and tasks across your Sites and Team — seeding with no sites means tasks with no place to go, and an evidence request with no team means a request with no one to receive it.

Step 2 — Activate your first ISO certificate (Compliance)

  1. Open Compliance and choose the certificate you're pursuing (e.g. ISO 45001).
  2. Activate it to reveal its clauses and its readiness dashboard — from this moment, every clause has a color that tells you its status.

Step 3 — Generate the work and let it run (seed, then Boards)

  1. Run the seed wizard to turn the standard's clauses into inspections and tasks distributed across your Sites and Team.
  2. Track day-to-day execution from Boards: every inspection you close and every piece of evidence you upload moves your readiness forward.

You don't need to fill everything in at once — the platform is cumulative, and readiness is built one piece of evidence at a time.
