When it comes to ISO/IEC 27002:2022 recently, it feels a bit like a game of Red Light, Green Light—you know, the childhood game where everyone runs to the finish line upon Green Light being called, but you had to stop on a dime when you heard “Red Light!” and await the next, random declaration of Green so you could move forward again.

Chances are, if you know anything about our space program, you know that when we send a manned mission beyond our atmosphere, those astronauts remain in constant communication with their fellows back at Mission Control.

Our Story Many who know me have also probably met my two-year-old twins, Everly and Porter (a girl and a boy). Over this past year, many others have probably witnessed my kids charging into my office to make several, mostly surprise, appearances during Zoom happy hours and client meetings.

When conducting an audit, an auditor must obtain an understanding of a client’s internal control environment, including the use, applicability and nature of any manual and automated controls, in order to design appropriate procedures to test such controls.
