Role you're checking

ISO 27001 Auditor

Operations

ISO 27001 Auditors conduct formal certification and surveillance audits of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) against ISO/IEC 27001:2022, verifying Annex A control implementation, Statement of Applicability completeness, and risk treatment plans. In India, the role sits at certification bodies accredited by NABCB — STQC (Government of India), BSI Group India, DNV India, TÜV Süd, Bureau Veritas, and Intertek — plus independent IRCA Lead Auditor-certified consultants who serve as third-party gap-assessment or Stage 1/Stage 2 lead auditors under contract. The audit cycle runs Stage 1 (documentation review, ISMS scope), Stage 2 (on-site evidence gathering, control effectiveness), annual surveillance audits, and three-year recertification cycles. Nonconformities are graded major (ISMS breakdown) or minor (isolated control gap), with corrective-action verification before certificate issue. Most Indian auditors carry IRCA LA ISO 27001 certification and fulfil CPD hours annually through IRCA or CQI.
