Independent assurance for your Information Security Management System
An ISO 27001 internal audit is a mandatory requirement of the standard, but it is also one of the most valuable tools for improving your organisation’s approach to information security. An effective audit provides independent assurance that your Information Security Management System (ISMS) is working as intended, that risks are being managed properly, and that you are prepared for external certification or surveillance reviews.
Why an Internal Audit Matters
Internal audits are not just about compliance; they give leadership the confidence that information security is being taken seriously and managed effectively. By carrying out regular audits, you can:
- Meet the formal requirement of ISO 27001.
- Identify and address issues before an external auditor does.
- Demonstrate to regulators, partners, and clients that your ISMS is robust.
- Gain assurance at board level that information risks are being controlled.
