ISMS Internal Audit

Independent internal audits of your Information Security Management System — so you meet ISO/IEC 27001 clause 9.2, pass surveillance and recertification audits, and keep your ISMS working in practice, not just on paper.

Overview

An ISMS only works if someone independent checks it

ISO/IEC 27001 requires planned internal audits by objective, impartial auditors. Many teams audit themselves, tick boxes and miss what certification auditors find. We act as your independent internal audit function — testing controls, sampling evidence and tracking corrective actions through to closure.

Without independent internal audits, you risk:

  • ●Suspension or loss of certification
  • ●Corrective actions left open
  • ●Controls that exist only on paper
  • ●Lost deals that require ISO 27001

FAQ

Questions before you start

How is this different from your ISO 27001 compliance audit?−

Our ISO 27001 audit gets you ready for your first certification. The ISMS internal audit is the recurring audit ISO/IEC 27001 requires once your ISMS is running — keeping you compliant for surveillance and recertification.

Can our own staff do internal audits?+

Yes, if they are competent and impartial — but auditors must not audit their own work. Many organisations outsource internal audit to stay objective and save time.

How often should we run internal audits?+

At planned intervals — typically at least once a year, so that every part of the ISMS is covered over the three-year certification cycle.

Do you help us close the findings?+

Yes. Every finding comes with a practical fix, and we track corrective actions until they are verified as effective.
