Starting the Internal Audit Process With ISO 27001

By: STUTAY MONGA
August 1st, 2016

An internal audit process should be present within the organization, and is vital to the design and effectiveness of any information security program. The requirements of an internal audit can be referred to in Clause 9.2 within the ISO-27001 standard. The process and time constraints of an internal audit vary based on the size and structure of the company. Also, a greater sense of detail and effectiveness of an internal audit should be similar across all organizations. Initially, a plethora of clients believe that an internal audit is a simple walkthrough of organizational specific processes and applicable controls; however, the internal audit requires the organization to review the ISO-27001 framework and all in-scope Annex A controls based on the Statement of Applicability (SOA). As a result, the ISO-27001 internal audit happens to be more stringent and control focused than many organizations believe it to be prior to beginning the audit.
