Audit Scope & Criteria Definition
Not sure what your internal audit should cover? We establish the audit scope, objectives, criteria, schedule and areas to be reviewed based on your management system and organizational context.

INTERNAL AUDIT WORKFLOW
Structured reviewINDEPENDENT REVIEW · STRUCTURED INSIGHT
ISO internal audit support is structured assistance to evaluate a management system against applicable requirements and defined processes, controls, and documented information.
Depending on the engagement, internal audit services may include audit planning, scope definition, documentation and evidence review, interviews, process review, findings, reporting, and corrective-action follow-up.
An internal audit service can provide additional audit capacity when an organization does not have sufficient internal resources, time, or independence to conduct the review.
INTERNAL AUDIT SUPPORT
Not sure what your internal audit should cover? We establish the audit scope, objectives, criteria, schedule and areas to be reviewed based on your management system and organizational context.
Not sure what to audit or what evidence to prepare? The audit activities, sequence, areas to review and relevant personnel or evidence needed for the agreed scope.
We review policies, procedures, records, controls and other documented information to determine whether they are appropriate, current and aligned with your management system. This approach can also support organizations reviewing an internal audit checklist template before conducting their formal audit activities.
We assess how relevant processes or controls are implemented and maintained within the defined scope.
We conduct relevant discussions and collect supporting evidence where interviews are included in the agreed audit approach.
We identify evidence-based nonconformities, observations and improvement opportunities rather than relying on assumptions or document-only reviews.
You receive an audit report that shows the scope, areas reviewed, findings and supporting evidence. The audit report provides your management team with clear information that can be acted upon.
We help your team understand the cause of findings, define appropriate corrective actions and track actions through to completion where follow-up is included.

Internal audit support
Depending on the standard, scope, objective and agreed engagement, deliverables may include:
A clear, evidence-led approach
A structured engagement designed to provide clarity, practical findings and a clear route to improvement.
Define the scope, objectives, criteria, methodology, resources and schedule of the audit.
Review relevant policies, procedures, records, controls and other documents before and during the audit.
Evaluate how well the management system works against applicable requirements and established processes. We apply a structured approach to how to conduct an internal audit for ISO.
Document nonconformities, observations, risks and opportunities for improvement using audit evidence.
Present findings with evidence and practical details that management can use to take action.
Support corrective-action planning and follow-up so identified issues can be addressed before the audit.
Review corrective-action status or evidence where follow-up is included in the agreed engagement.
INTERNAL AUDIT SUPPORT
Internal Audit Support with a Defined Audit Scope
Engagement boundaries are established before the review.
Findings are based on the evidence and criteria applicable to the agreed scope.
The problems found during the review are documented in a clear and usable format.
Audit results are organized so responsible teams can understand what requires attention.
Follow-up can be included where it forms part of the agreed engagement.
Support can be scoped across selected management-system standards.
AiVORA CyberSol can provide structured external audit support where organizations require additional internal-audit capacity.
Define the applicable scope and criteria, review implementation evidence and record findings requiring attention.
Review relevant processes and evidence against the agreed management-system requirements.
Use a structured review to assess evidence and identify gaps or findings within scope.
Review corrective-action status and supporting evidence where follow-up is included.
Focus the audit on the agreed scope and areas requiring readiness visibility before the formal audit.
Use external internal audit support where the organization needs additional audit capacity within an agreed scope.
Where client contracts or RFPs reference ISO conformity, an independent internal review can help identify findings before a client-facing certification audit.
Organizations without a dedicated internal-audit function can use external capacity to complete their required audit cycle without adding permanent headcount.
ISO 27001 internal audits review access controls, risk treatment and incident-response evidence, not only policies.
ISO 42001 internal audits examine whether AI governance decisions, model use, oversight and risk controls are documented and followed.
Construction, engineering and site-based organizations may need to assess whether documented processes and evidence remain consistent across different sites or teams.
Use internal audit as a pre-audit checkpoint to identify nonconformities while there is still time to address them.
