Transition to 27006-1 and what it means for our ISO 27001 clients

This update reflects evolving operational practices, with key changes that focus on audit processes, evidence requirements, and remote auditing.

Key changes to be aware of: 

• Updated audit duration calculations: new criteria impact how the duration of audits is calculated, particularly concerning risk and the number of individuals performing similar roles within an organisation.

• Refined remote audit requirements: updated guidelines clarify how remote audits are conducted and documented, ensuring clear visibility into their effectiveness and scope.
