Anyone with a current ISO 27001:2013 certificate will be required to update and add certain elements in their existing Information Security Management System to ensure compliance to ISO 27001:2022 ahead of the October 2025 deadline. Over the past few weeks, our mini-series has covered the fundamental changes to the Standard, along with tips on how to plan and Implement the required updates. Join Mel this week as she explains the final few stages of an ISO 27001 transition, including the Internal Auditing and final preparation ahead of a Certification Body visit. You'll learn ●      What needs to be audited? ●      What do I need to do to prepare for the Certification Body visit? ●      How can you get a free copy of ISO 27001:2022?   Resources ●      Isologyhub ●      ISO 27001 Transition Programme ●      What you need to know to transition to ISO 27001:2022   In this episode, we talk about: [00:44] Catch up on the last two episodes before listening to this one: What you need to know to transition to ISO 27001:2022 / What changes need to be Implemented to transition to ISO 27001:2022 [01:00] The last stages are all about gathering evidence of compliance against new and updated clauses and controls [01:28] Make sure you plan your transition visit well in advance – If you leave it too late you may incur additional fees for more days or possibly even for a full certification if you miss the deadline. [02:15] This process for transition is fairly consistent among Certification Bodies. It typically includes a Readiness Review and a transition visit where they will review evidence of compliance against the new controls. [02:45] You can get a free copy if you sign up to our Transition Programme by April 1st 2023) [02:55] The last stage ahead of the transition visit is Internal Auditing. For those still planning their 2023 Internal Audits, you may wish to Implement the changes earlier in the year with a view to audit the changes in the later half of 2023. Ensure that you allow time to build evidence of compliance ahead of a transition visit.  [03:45] If you need a bit of extra help, we include Internal Auditing within our transition programme – this will typically take 1 day. [04:30] We can also support you during your transition visit – this could be on-line or on-site, which would depend on your Certification Bodies preference. [05:20] Currently many Certification Bodies are suggesting a half day for the Readiness Review and another day for the transition. Some may choose to include this transition as a part of their annual Surveillance visit to help save on costs. If you have a Surveillance coming up, it's worth getting in contact with them to see what they would recommend regarding your transition.   [05:43] We advise that you also ask your Certification Body, when they will be UKAS accredited for ISO 27001:2022 – they may not be ready complete a transition visit until the later half of 2023. [06:35] For our global listeners, your Certification Body will have an Accreditation Body that needs to verify their ability to conduct transition visits. For the UK this is UKAS, but it may differ for other countries. [07:15] Don't leave this until last minute! Based on previous experience with transitions, we've found companies that leave it until a few months before the deadline often can't transition in time, and end up having to pay up for a full Stage 1 and 2 Assessment in order to keep their certification.

Data breaches have risen by 70% globally in Q3 of 2022, reenforcing the requirement for many to seek out Information Security solutions, especially those within the tech space. Today we speak to Triaster, who have been in operation since 1994, providing businesses with process mapping and execution software to help drive business improvement. Triaster's Business Operations Manager, Jane Duncan, explains why they sought to implement ISO 27001, what challenges they faced and what they learned during their certification journey. You'll learn Who are Triaster? Why Triaster Implemented ISO 27001 What did they learn from their experience? What benefits have they seen as a result of Implementing ISO 27001?   Resources Triaster What is ISO 27001? Internal Auditing in plain English: A simple guide to super effective ISO Audits by Craig Cochran       In this episode, we talk about: [00:54] Get to know Jane Duncan – Triaster's Business Operations Manager who has recently started fostering dogs for a local charity. [01:41] Who are Triaster? In short, they build software solutions that drive business improvement. They are a thought leader in their field and strive to create new software to meet business needs. [02:25] What was the main driver for achieving ISO 27001? In 2020, they had certified to the Quality Standard, ISO 9001, and saw the many benefits that come with ISO certification. They saw ISO 27001 as both an opportunity and a necessity due to their work within the IT industry. ISO 27001 is seen as a mark of trust and provides a central framework to improve data security.   [04:28] How long did It take to implement ISO 27001? They started looking at certification bodies and consultants to help with implementation in March 2021. The project overall lasted six months, with their assessments taking place in September and October of the same year. They also chose to recertify to ISO 9001 at the same time – this aligned both Standards under one Integrated Management System.   [06:35] If you are considering implementing multiple ISO's, it's recommended to integrate them into a single Management System. This reduces the costs of implementation and is overall easier to maintain. [07:17] What was the biggest gap identified in Triaster's initial Gap Analysis? They had a lack of security policies in place in addition to a lack of processes that would have mitigated potential data security risks.    [08:00] What was the biggest difference ISO 27001 made? They now do regular annual SWOT and PESTLE's that are evaluated at Management Reviews. Risks identified during those reviews are added to a risk register and are used to develop the necessary objectives and controls needed to mitigate future risk. [08:38] Other differences include the ability to track non-conformities, security risks and opportunities for improvement. They also have the confidence to prove their data security credentials to clients and have the required documentation to back it up. Tendering processes are also made easier by having ISO 27001 as it is often a requirement that can now be ticked off. [09:25] Triaster use Infrastructure partner (who are also ISO 27001 certified) and can now hold them accountable for the services they provide.  [09:50] Jane states that they are now a much better business following the Implementation of both ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 – continually improving their processes and scrutinising working practices.   [10:54] All of the same security practices can be done by those who are homeworking at Triaster [11:05] What has been the main lesson learned? The process if certification is a journey – it's about continually improving and truly adopting the ethos of Information Security into every aspect of the business.   [11:52] What are the main benefits? They hope their clients can see their efforts and have confidence in Triaster's ability to keep their data secure. They also now have the processes in place that drive continual Improvement. [12:33] Jane's top tip: Document what you do as a business and look for gaps. Also, certification is a journey, and you shouldn't stop striving to improve once you achieve certification.  [13:00] What book would you recommend and why?  Internal Auditing in plain English: A simple guide to super effective ISO Audits by Craig Cochran [14:15] Jane's favorite quote: “No one is you, and that is your superpower” We'd love to hear your views and comments about the ISO Show, here's how: Share the ISO Show on Twitter or Linkedin Leave an honest review on iTunes or Soundcloud.

If you're on a board, there's a very high likelihood that you have had many discussions about your organisation's policies and procedures. And rightly so, they are the board's remote control throughout the organisation, helping to ensure that things are done in the way that the board considers appropriate and, in some instances, necessary. Creating, checking, updating, and approving policies and procedures is something that I have spent many committee and board meetings – and time in between meetings – working on. This is time well invested; however, it's only a third of the picture. The other two-thirds are (1) implementing the policy or procedure, and (2) checking in that the policy or procedure is being followed and the outcomes of it are what were intended. It's this final third of your organisation's operations that my conversation today is focused on: making sure all of those policies and procedures are being following as required so that they the desired outcomes are realised. Whether it's risk reduction or mitigation, maintaining quality, legislative compliance, or safeguarding financial assets, there needs to be someone checking in that the rules are being followed. That person is usually referred to as an internal auditor. And I have one with me on this episode; Peter Francis is the Managing Director of Aceia, a professional services firm specialising in internal audit and risk management across Australia and New Zealand. Peter has over 25 years of experience in risk and internal audit; doing that job that many are more than willing to hand over to someone who – as you will hear – believes it's sexy! Peter is an accountant by education, is a Certified Internal Auditor and a Certified Member of the Institute of Internal Auditors, so he knows his stuff. Peter and I discuss what exactly internal audit is, how and why an organisation engages with an external internal auditor, and the impetus for why a Board may want to introduce internal audit activity and the value (and assurances) it will bring. I hope by the end of this conversation you get as excited over internal audit as Peter is! Or at least understand the value in bringing in someone like Peter to support the Board in its risk management role.

Innovation, transformation and the introduction of more advanced technologies are on the agendas of most groups in an organization today. The same certainly holds true for internal audit functions – but perhaps not at the same levels of engagement as departments such as finance and IT. In fact, the results of the latest Next-Generation Internal Audit Survey from Protiviti show that overall maturity levels for enabling technologies such as advanced analytics and process mining trend lower than areas of governance and methodology.Many CAEs and internal audit leaders want to capitalize on the greater efficiency and precision that more advanced technologies and automation can offer but are uncertain of how or where to get started.For this podcast, we sat down to discuss these issues and challenges with Protiviti Managing Director Angelo Poulikakos. Angelo is the global leader of the Technology Audit practice with Protiviti.

The past two years have seen unprecedented levels of innovation and transformation among organizations worldwide. Many organizations are operating in a significantly different manner than they did just a few years ago — focused on resilience, data access and governance, predictive analytics, enabling technologies, and more. Innovation and transformation, in fact, are now mainstays in ensuring businesses stay relevant and competitive over the long term.This unquestionably is a mindset that chief audit executives and their internal audit teams must adopt as well — and many have. According to the results of the latest Next-Generation Internal Audit Survey from Protiviti, a majority of internal audit departments have completed or are currently undertaking transformation or innovation initiatives. And perhaps more important, returns on investment are viewed to be substantial.In this episode of Powerful Insights, we talk with Protiviti managing directors Ashley Cuevas and Mark Peters, who discuss some of the highlights from our global study and what they're seeing in the market regarding these matters.Ashley is the global head of innovation for Protiviti, and Mark is a leader in Protiviti's global IT Audit practice.Contact Ashley at ashley.cuevas@protiviti.com.Contact Mark at mark.peters@protiviti.co.uk.

Who loves internal auditing? Probably 99.99 percent of medical device professionals answered “not me!” While it may not be everyone's favorite pastime, internal audits are very important...especially if you have or want a true quality culture and mindset of continuous improvement. In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Jon Speer talks to Sara Adams, a medical device guru at Greenlight Guru.Sara loves to talk about internal audits. She shares her valuable wisdom of internal audits as well as learnings from leading Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) investigations and implementations, process improvements, and supplier and regulatory audits throughout her career in the medical device industry.Some of the highlights of the show include:Internal audits shouldn't be about checking a box. If you know about problems, fix them first. Internal auditing offers opportunities for improvement. From a risk perspective, where are the trends and weak areas? Find them before someone else does and causes complaints or extra work. It is valuable to be able to look into those problem areas that need to be fixed. More medical device companies need to change their mindset by embracing quality as part of their culture, not as an obstacle or barrier. Collaborate with other departments because everyone has to own their process and procedure.Quality auditors may say there's no choice, this has to be done. If the company has a CAPA or other options to be compliant, management will offer its buy-in. Misconceptions about internal audits include conducting internal audits on every process and procedure at least once a year, and if there's any audit finding, you must create a CAPA. Key Tips: Make a plan/schedule, document and follow internal audit process, and realize that CAPA's are only meant for major, risk-based, systemic issues.Memorable quotes from this episode:“We can always get better. Internal auditing is one method that, done properly, can help us improve our processes and our operations as medical device companies.” Jon Speer“I like rules. I like boundaries. I like guidelines.” Sara Adams“You can fix it and not give someone else an opportunity to find that.” Sara Adams“Your internal audits should be the toughest audits that you ever have.” Jon Speer“Being able to present options that still will take you into compliance, I think, is huge for getting management's buy-in.” Sara AdamsLinks:Sara AdamsISO 13485:2016FDA - Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP)Greenlight Guru AcademyThe Greenlight Guru True Quality Virtual SummitGreenlight Guru YouTube ChannelMedTech True Quality Stories PodcastGreenlight Guru

Even though we have been using the term "risk-based auditing" for over 20 years, many internal audit groups have not really implemented it... and many misunderstand the concepts behind it. In this episode I explain the challenges and opportunities facing internal audit as a profession and why moving to a truly risk-based approach is the opportunity for us to overcome those challenges. I also discuss the confusion with the terms objective-based, or risk management-based audit. I've been preaching risk-based internal auditing for over 15 years and am considered to be one of the leading world experts on risk-based internal audit (and yes I wrote a book on this, frameworks, certifications and have trained internal auditors all over the world).  If you missed the webinar on Establishing or Improving a Risk-Based Audit Approach, you can now access it in the cRisk Academy on-demand library at: https://ondemand.criskacademy.com/p/establishing-or-improving-a-risk-based-audit-approach/ To learn more about how you can enroll in a new course and receive your Certified Risk-Based Internal Auditor (cRBIA) professional designation visit: https://ondemand.criskacademy.com/p/certified-risk-based-internal-auditor-crbia/  

It's time for internal audit leaders and professionals to stand up and ride their own wave of transformation and innovation. But the results of the latest Next-Generation Internal Audit survey from Protiviti show that much progress still needs to be made in growing competency levels and next-generation auditing methodologies, in advancing innovation and transformation initiatives, and in communicating with audit committees.This podcast features our conversation with Brian Christensen, Executive Vice President, Global Internal Audit for Protiviti. For several years, Brian and Protiviti have advocated for internal audit functions to adopt a next-generation internal audit mindset and embrace the wave of transformation and innovation underway in their organizations and the overall market. Little did we know that a global pandemic of historic proportions would alter the very foundations of business operations, practices and processes, as well as bring to light new views and ways for internal audit to perform its critical assurance and advisory work.So much has changed in society and for businesses large and small during this transformative period. Efforts by organizations worldwide pivoting to remote workforces and transitioning operations on the fly have been well documented. Internal audit certainly has not been immune to the effects on their organizations, with audit plans shifting dramatically and assurance and compliance activities requiring multiple changes and adjustments to meet objectives and deadlines in this new status quo.The pandemic has raised questions among CAEs and internal audit leaders about how they can best support management and their organizations in navigating the many changes underway. The foundation of next-generation internal auditing lies in principles such as agility, real-time risk and controls monitoring, dynamic risk assessment, and the effective leveraging of data and advanced technologies. The advantages a next-generation internal audit mindset and approach deliver have become further magnified during this global crisis.To learn more, read Exploring the Next Generation of Internal Auditing, available at www.protiviti.com/IASurvey.

A lot of people are advocating auditing culture. Problem is, it's very swishy and difficult to objectively audit. A much more practical approach is to utilize some newer research around Personality System Interaction (PSI) patterns and utilize the Organizational Personality Framework which provides new, innovative levers for change, based on analyzing the organization's preferred personality system interaction patterns. In this #jammingwithjason #internalauditpodcast I am joined by Barbara Siegenthaler, a pioneer in a systemic approach that combines business expertise and PSI theory into a 360° degree testing and thinking grid for human factors - across the organization. She is the founder of The Organizational Personality Framework and the Personality-based Internal Auditing PBA® methodology. Both approaches leverage the explanatory and predictive value of the Theory of Personality Systems Interactions. PSI Theory is a meta model from the domain of personality and motivation psychology, considered by academic psychology in Germany as "groundbreaking" and "highly innovative". ​This is an episode when I had the opportunity to geek out with Barbara and show how we can improve what we do as #internalaudit when we apply principles from other disciplines into how we audit. Learn more about Barbara and these principles at: https://www.personality-based-audit.com/ and https://www.savanteon.com/

Jason Mefford is joined by Dan Clayton, for a discussion of how internal audit is evolving and changing, driving some of the updates to Sawyer's Internal Auditing, 7th edition.

Even though we have been using the term "risk-based auditing" for over 20 years, many internal audit groups have not really implemented it ... and many mis-understand the concepts behind it. In this episode I explain the challenges and opportunities facing internal audit as a profession and why moving to a truly risk-based approach is the opportunity for us to overcome those challenges. I also discuss the confusion with the terms objective-based, or risk management-based audit. I've been preaching risk-based internal auditing for over 15 years and am consider one of the leading world experts on risk-based internal audit (and yes I wrote a book on this, frameworks, certifications and have trained internal auditors all over the world).

In this episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast,  Fred Olivares, CPA started his career in a rather traditional way. He began his career in Internal Auditing, and in Fred's case, he was employed by a bank. After hearing an FBI Agent speak though, Fred began some career-based soul searching. Was there more to his career than auditing?? Maybe…. Special Agent – Special Requirements Fred decided to apply with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI. That sounded exciting and he met all the eligibility qualifications. College degree from an accredited university United States citizen Three years of work experience No history of drug use Be able to obtain Top Secret Clearance – this clearance is extensive. Your neighbors, friends, and family will all be interviewed. Once you meet those, you must: Pass the written examination Pass the panel interview The total process can take up to approximately one year. FBI Work – TV Worthy Because Fred was a CPA, he was assigned to the white-collar squad. The FBI has several different squads, and CPAs may work on many different investigations. For example, the bombings that took place in Austin in early 2018 – all agents worked on that case. Fred started in bank fraud with the FBI. This taught him how cases flow through the system. It also taught him how to interview people. He then worked on high-profile and other public corruption cases in San Diego. In McAllen, he worked border corruption and health care fraud. In San Antonio, he worked public corruption cases as well. For Fred, the challenges were new every morning and it allowed him to develop many friendships. Want to hear about some of Fred's true crime cases? Please listen in on this week's audio interview with Fred Olivares.

Is it possible to completely change careers and built a successful new career in accounting? What is the difference between working for a public accounting firm and the public-sector? What certifications are most desirable? In this episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast, Amy Barrett, CPA shares her expertise on these topics as well as her experiences transitioning from Macy's to public accounting with Coopers & Lybrand (now PwC) to the public-sector with the Teacher Retirement System of Texas. Auditing in a Public Accounting Firm Public accounting and auditing allows you to learn about different industries and company performance styles. You can see what works well and what may need improvement. Amy focused on higher education while she was with Coopers & Lybrand (now PwC) in the Boston office. She got her first experience with investment auditing there. She moved to Austin later and decided to leave public accounting at that point. Auditing with the Public Sector Amy accepted a position in Internal Audit with the University of Texas after leaving public accounting. It was a challenging transition because she moved from a large organization with a strong culture that was for-profit to a not-for-profit government organization. For the past ten years now though Amy has served as the Chief Audit Executive at the Teacher Retirement System (TRS). TRS manages assets into the billions. The role has changed during her tenure, which she enjoys.  She encourages her team to pursue and maintain the CIA certification. Other certifications that are helpful include the Certified Government Auditing Professional (CGAP), Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). Internal Auditing: A Collaborative Endeavor Internal audit is auditing done within an organization, which allows you to work with the same people every day in a collaborative environment. Focused on strategy, compliance, and improvement ideas, internal auditors use recent information to determine if things are operating the way the team envisioned. This provides great value to the organization. Good auditors ask a lot of questions to understand the environment fully. To listen in on this interview with Amy Barrett, please click below:
