ISO/IEC 27035-1:2023 for Auditors
What does ISO/IEC 27035-1:2023 require of a Auditor?
ISO/IEC 27035-1:2023 is the base part of the ISO/IEC 27035 incident management series: why events and incidents happen and why coordination matters, the objectives and benefits of a structured approach, proportionality, the capability (policies, plan, process and the incident management structure), communication, the documentation set (event report, log, incident report, register), and the five-phase process from plan and prepare to learn lessons. Under ISO/IEC 27035-1:2023, which defines 19 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/IEC 27035-1:2023 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/IEC 27035-1:2023 defines 19 controls across 2 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.
