The second stage of the two-stage audit process for Information Security Management System (ISMS) certification to the ISO/IEC 27001 standard is called an ISO 27001 Stage 2 audit. This stage determines whether the organization’s ISMS is successfully implemented and maintained in compliance with the standard’s requirements as well as the organization’s policies and procedures.
In the stage 2 ISO 27001 Audit, several interviews with staff members from various organizational levels will be conducted, and pertinent documents and records will also be reviewed. The auditor will evaluate how well the organization’s information security management system (ISMS) manages the risks and threats to the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of its information assets.
Upon completion of the Stage 2 audit, the auditor will furnish a report outlining any non-conformities or areas requiring improvement, which the organization must tackle to attain ISO 27001 certification. The organization will receive ISO 27001 certification if it successfully satisfies all standard requirements.
