ISO/IEC/IEEE DIS 26517 for Auditors
What does ISO/IEC/IEEE DIS 26517 require of a Auditor?
The first standard in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 2651x family written for user assistance in mobile applications. Under ISO/IEC/IEEE DIS 26517, which defines 10 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/IEEE DIS 26517 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/IEEE DIS 26517 defines 10 controls across 3 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.

Planning and executing risk-based audit engagements against compliance frameworks
Evaluating control design and operating effectiveness through testing
Documenting findings, observations, and recommendations in audit reports
