3GPP Security Architecture (TS 33.501, 5G Security) for Auditors

What does 3GPP Security Architecture (TS 33.501, 5G Security) require of a Auditor?

3GPP TS 33.501 specifies the security architecture and procedures for 5G systems. Under 3GPP Security Architecture (TS 33.501, 5G Security), which defines 43 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.

Which 3GPP Security Architecture (TS 33.501, 5G Security) controls land on the Auditor

Internal Auditors assess whether compliance controls are operating effectively. They plan and execute audit engagements, evaluate evidence, report findings, and track remediation of identified gaps and nonconformities.

3GPP Security Architecture (TS 33.501, 5G Security) defines 43 controls across 22 domains that directly affect the Auditor role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.

What a Auditor is accountable for under 3GPP Security Architecture (TS 33.501, 5G Security)

1

Planning and executing risk-based audit engagements against compliance frameworks

2

Evaluating control design and operating effectiveness through testing

3

Documenting findings, observations, and recommendations in audit reports

4

Tracking remediation actions and verifying closure of audit findings

5

Assessing organisational readiness for external audits and certifications
