Information security audits

Compliance audits for management systems

Every organization works with large amounts of data: information about customers, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders, as well as about its own business processes. This information must be stored securely at all times, but also be available. Due to the 24-hour economy, ongoing digitization, and increasingly strict regulations, maximum information security is more necessary than ever.

The essence of information security lies in consciously managing confidential information. Technology plays an important role, but employee awareness and clear agreements about availability and responsibility are just as essential. DEKRA Audit offers all the expertise needed to demonstrate that your management systems and processes are secure and reliable. We will work with you to determine which certification is most suitable for you.

Information security: The auditing process

During an audit, the auditor will objectively check whether the organization complies with the information security requirements described in the relevant standard.

The exact course of the audit varies per standard, because each standard describes different requirements and regulations. However, in broad terms, most information security audits proceed as follows:

Preliminary investigation

On-site audit

Certification

Periodic repetition of the audit

Recertification

People-Based Auditing

DEKRA auditors not only assess standards, but also attach importance to the people who work with these standards on a daily basis. After all, it is people themselves who determine how processes, systems, and working methods are implemented. That is why DEKRA experts always pay close attention to the human aspects during audits. We call this approach People Based Auditing . People Based Auditing is an integral part of our audits.
