Hi, I'm new and today is my first day joining this forum.
I'm trying to establish Information Technology as a part of our internal process audits but I have no idea as to how to establish it. Does anyone have any suggestions for auditing IT?
Thanks,
David

It depends on why you want to audit it:
- security?
- compliance to a standard (ITIL, CMMI)?
- support of QMS?

Good morning.
I'm looking to add Information Technology as a stand alone process to our internal ISO/TS auditing, so it would be from a QMS standpoint.

I guess I'm looking for something generic that I can start with and then modify to make more specific to our operations. I'm just not sure where to start. Is Information Technology commonly audited as an internal ISO/TS process?

IT is obviously a part of the QMS, such as for customer information management, order management, scheduling, inventory management ...
Send me a private message and I'll email you an article I published on the topic.

Welcome to the cove, David! :bigwave:
I agree with Duke - treat it as you do any other QMS process. Define the criteria, create checklists or whatever you use, and audit it just like any other process.
