They have a defined scope, are scheduled on a risk basis and are triggered by events such as reorganisations, mergers or major platform changes. Results are reported to management with findings, owners and target dates, and follow-up confirms remediation. Auditors expect the review plan, reports, evidence of independence and closure tracking.\n\n**Common gaps.** The security team sometimes reviews its own work and calls it independent. Reviews also tend to be scheduled purely by calendar, so major changes pass without any independent look, and findings linger open without escalation.",null,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.iso.org\u002Fstandard\u002F27001","See the standard at ISO","2026-10-18T15:18:43.664+00:00",{"total":9,"list":17},[],[],[]]
