FAQ

What are the main stages in a compliance audit?

The key stages of an audit based on ISO 19011, the international standard for audit management, are as follows:

  1. Audit planning: Establish audit objectives, scope, criteria and plan, taking into account risks and resources.
  2. Audit initiation: Notification of stakeholders, team training, and confirmation of planning.
  3. Audit execution: data collection, observation, interviews, and evaluation of evidence against audit criteria.
  4. Communication during the audit: exchanges with stakeholders to clarify observations and maintain transparency.
  5. Evaluation of findings: Analysis of evidence, assessment of non-conformities, and identification of opportunities for improvement.
  6. Audit Report: Compilation of results, presentation of findings, conclusions and recommendations.
  7. Audit follow-up: Check that corrective actions have been implemented, monitor improvements, and complete the audit process.

How can a compliance audit help to raise awareness among IS stakeholders?

An information security compliance audit can make a significant contribution to raising awareness among information system (IS) stakeholders in different ways:

  1. Identification/reminder of information security issues
  2. Education on risks inherent to the company context
  3. Clarity of roles and responsibilities
  4. Reminder of internal safety rules and procedures
  5. Involvement in the continuous improvement process

I don't know how to objectively assess my level of information security maturity. What type of audit should I request?

If you’re having trouble objectively estimating your level of information security maturity, an organizational audit would be a relevant option. Depending on your context and the issues at stake, other audits could also be considered:

  1. SSI organizational audit: This audit assesses the level of maturity of your entire information security program, examining policies, processes, technologies, organizational culture and compliance with standards.
  2. 360° audit: This audit focuses on assessing the technological security solutions in place, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems and IT infrastructure configurations. It highlights technical vulnerabilities that could destabilize the smooth running of your operations. This audit is combined with an organizational audit, giving you a 360° view of your SSI maturity level, and enabling you to act on both the technical and organizational fronts to mitigate your risks.

Third-party/supplier audit: If one or more of your services depends heavily on the reliability of one of your subcontractors or suppliers, we recommend that you call in a third-party audit to ensure that the security measures agreed with the third party through the subcontract or a Security Assurance Plan are being properly applied.
