ISO27001 18.2.1 - Internal Independent review

#1
Hi,

I just have a few controls I need to sort for the Statement Of Applicability. One being this policy. We are only a small company of 13 and don't have the resource to have an independent person audit the ISO internally. We audit controls monthly , is this satisfactory to put in this policy? or should I just not do a policy and add to the SOA the reasons why we don't?

Thanks

Audit your system for its effectiveness (includes conformity) instead of auditing “the ISO”.

Your system should be named for your company so employees see it as helpful instead of something to gain and keep a certificate.

Select 2 of your 13 employees for training as your part-time internal auditors so they can avoid auditing their own work. This would provide sufficient independence.

Refusing to audit or omitting internal audits would be a major nonconformity.
