Audit day

Complete plan

When the ISO 27001 auditor questions you, it's not you being graded, it's the system. Three rules for answering, and the right reaction to a rule that gets in your way: ask for an exception, don't work around it.

  • 3 min
  • 3-question check
  • English · Français
  • Attestation

You will be able to

  • Answer an auditor by describing what you actually do, and say "I don't know" rather than make something up
  • Show where the rule and the evidence are: policy, procedure, training certificate
  • Ask for an exception or report a rule that blocks you instead of working around it; know what a nonconformity is
