Engineering organisations may rely on digital information, specialist systems and external service providers. An audit can examine how information risks are managed when those relationships or working methods change.
Questions to follow in an audit
- Which information and services are critical to the organisation?
- Who assesses a supplier or system change before approval?
- How are information-security incidents and lessons recorded?
Connect the records with practice
Follow a change to an important service through assessment, approval, operating evidence and a post-change review.
These are illustrative audit trails, not findings about a named organisation, technical instructions or a guarantee of a particular result. The appropriate evidence depends on the activities, risks and agreed scope. The organisation remains responsible for its operations and legal obligations.
