ISO Audit FAQs

An ISO audit independently assesses and evaluates your management system, its effectiveness and whether it meets ISO certification criteria. Each management system is different, such as environmental or information security management systems. An audit needs to be systematic, ensuring systems, processes and operations continue to achieve the ISO standard criteria.

ISO audits can be carried out by dedicated in-house compliance teams. It can, however, be more cost-effective to use an external ISO auditor and assessor, who can bring expert knowledge that supports your organisation’s certification programme.

A surveillance audit can be carried out by internal or external teams. It is designed to ensure that organisations with ISO certification continue to maintain and improve their management systems. These audits are usually conducted annually.

There are three types of ISO audit – internal (known as a ‘first party audit’), a supplier audit (known as a ‘second party audit’) and a certification audit (known as a ‘third party audit’).

Our expert ISO consultants can support teams setting up and running an internal audit function. We also perform UKAS certified certification audits with our ISO experts that assess and award certification in the relevant ISO standard.
