Our Information Security Policies are subjected to a regular internal audit for which we have a pre-defined schedule of areas of the ISMS (ISO 27001) which are to be audited. The schedule ensures that all areas of the ISMS Scope are audited at least annually and, in some areas, twice a year. This is to ensure that appropriate adoption of the policy is monitored within the organisation. The auditor may be an individual within the organisation appointed to audit a specific area of the business.
