ISO 27001 Virtual Internal Audit
Independent ISO 27001 audit assurance that keeps you certification-ready
How does this service work?
Softcat’s ISO 27001 Virtual Internal Audit provides experienced, independent consultants who plan and deliver a structured audit programme aligned to Clause 9.2. Working alongside your ISMS Manager, they define scope and criteria, run objective audits, and produce clear, risk-focused reporting backed by solid evidence.
These two services sit either side of the Virtual Internal Audit in the ISO 27001 lifecycle. The Certification Viability Assessment decides whether certification is the right path, and Remediation Support addresses the gaps an audit finds.
What's included:
- A documented internal audit programme aligned to your certification lifecycle, with up to six scheduled audit engagements across the service term.
- A detailed audit plan covering scope, criteria, timing, and coverage across ISO/IEC 27001 clauses and Annex A controls.
- Clearly classified findings, including Major Non-Conformity, Minor Non-Conformity, and Opportunity for Improvement.
- Management-ready reporting with clear, risk-focused findings and practical recommendations.
- A documented evidence set to support management review, surveillance audits, and recertification activity.
Strengthen Your ISO 27001 Audit Readiness
Softcat’s ISO 27001 Virtual Internal Audit gives organisations on-demand access to experienced, independent ISO/IEC 27001 auditors. They plan and deliver a structured internal audit programme across the certification lifecycle.
It is independent, flexible, and low-friction. The service helps you meet Clause 9.2 without adding permanent headcount, uncover gaps earlier, and strengthen your Information Security Management System (ISMS). The result improves certification readiness, reduces audit risk, and gives clear insight to support stronger governance.
