Reasons To NOT Address Compliance
In Internal Audits
∞If
your high level procedures are compliant, your lower level procedures must be as well. Every time your registrar
visits, it chooses a sample of your systems
and verifies, among other things, compliance to
the standard. Theoretically, every year they
should cover every compliance element at least
once. And every 3 years they are supposed to (although it appears this practice is dying) they are
(were?) supposed to go through - well,
essentially a thorough (complete?) audit like the
registration audit. It seems more and more
registrars are admitting that the 3 year blowout audit isnt really much more than a money maker. It doesnt
accomplish much when youre there every 6 months to a year anyway.
