Internal ISMS Auditing: Planning and Findings

Inquiry This course is not yet bookable.

An internal ISMS audit should give management a reliable basis for decisions on corrective action and further review. Plan an audit, assess different evidence and write findings. Build your audit programme, audit plan and template for the management report.

Plan an internal audit of a selected ISMS process. Define the assignment, criteria and sample, and consider who can audit independently. Work through an audit file, write findings and prepare a report for management.

The case file contains a current approval list and an access-removal procedure. Two former employees’ accounts remained active after the deadline. You substantiate a finding for those cases and specify a further sample. The two cases do not establish how often the problem occurs across the process.

A tool is planned for the course to record criteria, evidence and findings. Use these to produce your own audit file and report. Keep the completed data for future audits.

What you will work on

  • Draft a risk-based audit programme and an audit plan
  • Evaluate evidence against defined audit criteria
  • Compare departure and account-removal times and write a finding limited to the evidence.

Who it is for

  • Internal ISMS auditors
  • Information security officers
  • Internal assurance leads

Topics

  • Audit assignments, independence and scope
  • Risk-based programme planning
  • Sampling and evidence quality
  • Interview preparation and follow-up questions
  • Findings, reporting and action follow-up

Your result

Take away an audit file with criteria, a sample and supported findings, together with an audit plan and draft report. Open questions identify where further evidence is needed.

Prerequisites

Basic ISMS knowledge and authorised access to process documentation and audit criteria. An audit file from a course case can replace confidential information.

Format and approach

Planned as 12–16 hours of self-paced study with document review and written case work. Annotated examples support your self-checks.

Planned learning time: 12–16 hours
