Annex A Controls, Interview Techniques, Hybrid Audits, Sampling Strategy & ISMS Audit Simulation Project
Are you ready to elevate your ISMS auditing skills to a professional, advanced level? This comprehensive workshop on ISO 27001:2022 Advanced ISMS Auditing Techniques is designed for internal auditors, consultants, IT managers, GRC professionals, and security officers who want to conduct high-quality, risk-based audits aligned with the latest version of ISO/IEC 27001.
In this course, you will learn how to design strategic audit plans that focus on high-risk areas, apply advanced sampling techniques, and manage audit schedules for both on-site and remote environments. We cover how to audit against ISO 27001:2022 clauses and Annex A controls with precision, ensuring you know how to verify documentation, interview key personnel, observe operations, and map audit evidence to requirements. You will also develop skills to perform root cause analysis, classify nonconformities, and review corrective action plans (CAPAs) for effectiveness.
The course includes practical examples from our model company, SecureCom Ltd., allowing you to see how these techniques apply in realistic scenarios. From planning and conducting interviews to reporting findings and managing follow-up activities, you will gain hands-on knowledge that goes beyond theory.
You will also explore how to spot trends in audit findings over time and drive continual improvement as required by ISO 27001. We provide downloadable resources, audit checklists, sampling plan templates, and a final project that simulates a complete ISMS audit.
Whether you are preparing for ISO 27001:2022 certification, leading internal audits, or supporting clients in their compliance journeys, this course will give you the tools and confidence to succeed. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to conduct advanced ISMS audits that add strategic value, not just check compliance boxes.

Something must be wrong with the system. I have sent answers to task #5 and #6, but I do not see the fulfillment ticks. There is only one task left (#7), but the statistics says 17/19 are solved. I do not get a certificate until I have finished final task #7? From my perspective, the total effort is much more than 2 h including working on all tasks.
