An internal pre-audit in the field of information security offers companies a number of advantages:

First of all, a pre-audit gives the organisation the opportunity to prepare for certification and to identify and rectify any potential weaknesses in the security processes. This can help the company to be more successful in the actual certification process and may also save costs that would be incurred by repeat audits.

Another advantage is that it helps the organisation to better understand the certification body's requirements and to ensure that all the necessary processes and procedures have been implemented in the organisation. This can help the organisation to be more successful in the certification process and to avoid possible queries or complaints.
​
Unlike a pre-audit conducted by a certification body, which is not usually allowed to make any comprehensive recommendations, I can make such recommendations. This gives the organisation the opportunity to prepare for possible weaknesses and to remedy them before certification.



Advantages of a pre-audit by an appointed auditor:

​

• Recommendations for improvement 

• High level of expertise and specialist knowledge

• Objective assessment at the level of a certification audit

• Efficient and experienced approach to conducting the audit
