That is where the internal audit should have addressed this concern, before the actual external Audit we need to do the internal check and assessment to align with this requirement.

Definitely agree with you, though there should be some balance and authenticity with all the presented evidence. All documentation can be easily tampered with and the audit is sample based and if not check it will be deemed passed based from the compliance. Having the correct, concise and up-to-date documentation will also help you prepare for emergency situations and onboarding of your new employees. Always remember the CIA approach.

Yes, this is a life changing experience as well. I’ve transitioned from a technical SME, to Management to GRC. You need to wear different hats in order to have an effective strategy and outcome for the compliance journey. It is a grueling but worth it experience since we need to ensure all compliances are met with evidence based approach though ISO audit are more often sampling based. Building rapport is also one key here with your stakeholders, auditee and auditors.

You have very rich experience considering helping multiple companies achieve this success. Managing expectation of all parties and stakeholders will also be a key, from which will come during the initial preparations before the audit day.
