Frequently Asked Questions

Who performs IAR audits?

Depending on designation and sector, internal assurance teams, appointed assessors, or sector regulators. Confirm the pathway that applies to your entity.

What fails audits most often?

Stale inventories, P1 gaps without residual-risk acceptance, and monitoring claims without SIEM use-case proof.

Does ISO 27001 certification skip the audit?

No. ISO helps evidence but IAR/IAS-specific sampling still applies.
