ISO 28002:2011 for Auditors
What does ISO 28002:2011 require of a Auditor?
ISO 28002:2011 covers requirements for a supply chain resilience policy built into a management system such as ISO 28000: context and end-to-end supply chain mapping, scope and strategic weightings, top management policy with life safety first, and the full management system cycle of risk and impact assessment with recovery time criteria, prevention, mitigation, response, continuity and recovery programmes, crisis teams, warning and communication, supplier verification, exercises, audit and management review. 37 leaves read against the complete identical Russian adoption. Under ISO 28002:2011, which defines 37 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 ISO 28002:2011 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.
ISO 28002:2011 defines 37 controls across 6 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.
