The ISO/IEC 27001:2005 Information Security standard has become the ‘de-facto’ specification and best practice framework, ensuring that organisations worldwide secure their confidential information assets and maintain their competitive position. The role of an Internal Auditor in an organisation is crucial to continued compliance to ISO27001 and in making sure that the internal information security requirements are maintained.
