ISO 28000 Security and Resilience – Security Management Systems Lead Auditor Training
04 April, 2022
Description
The ISO 28000 Security and Resilience – Security Management Systems Lead Auditor Training is designed for auditors, security professionals, risk managers and operational leaders seeking to understand how to assess a security management system (SMS). The workshop combines the standard’s management system requirements with practical audit planning, evidence evaluation, reporting and follow-up techniques.
At OHS GLOBAL QUALIFICATIONS, we present this career-focused training pathway to help professionals develop the skills required to evaluate whether security management processes effectively protect people, assets, supply chains and operations.
What Is ISO 28000:2022?
ISO 28000:2022 is an international standard specifying requirements for a security management system. It provides a structured approach for organizations to manage security risks, set objectives, establish controls, monitor performance and improve their security management arrangements. It is applicable to organizations of different sizes and sectors, including those involved in complex global supply chains.
Why ISO 28000 Matters:
- Establish clear security policies, responsibilities and objectives
- Identify and evaluate security threats and vulnerabilities
- Improve protection of people, assets, information and operations
- Support supply chain security and third-party coordination
- Strengthen incident preparedness and response processes
- Monitor security performance and corrective actions
- Promote organizational resilience and continual improvement
What Does an ISO 28000 Lead Auditor Do?
A Lead Auditor organizes and coordinates audit activities, determines whether evidence meets defined audit criteria, leads audit discussions and communicates findings. An ISO 28000 Lead Auditor evaluates whether an organization has implemented and maintained security management processes consistent with the standard and its own policies. Audit work must be objective, evidence-based and appropriately scoped.
