ISO Audit's
Introduction to our ISO Audits
ISO audits are systematic, impartial evaluations that verify your management system’s alignment with international standards such as ISO 27001, ISO 45001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 or 41001. They combine document reviews, process inspections, and interviews to uncover gaps, validate controls, and ensure you’re meeting regulatory and stakeholder expectations. By translating compliance requirements into actionable insights, ISO audits become engines for continuous improvement rather than mere checkpoints.
Key benefits of an ISO audit include:
-
Confirming your processes adhere to globally recognized best practices
-
Identifying hidden risks and nonconformities before they escalate
-
Prioritizing improvements that boost efficiency and security
-
Reinforcing customer, investor, and regulator confidence
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 audit is a systematic, independent, objective, and documented process for gathering factual data. Under ISO 27001 certification, audits help you uncover improvement opportunities, confirm best-practice processes, and safeguard your corporate information.
Key objectives of an ISO 27001 audit:
-
Verify that your Information Security Management System (ISMS) meets ISO 27001 requirements
-
Resolve any issues within your ISMS
-
Identify enhancements to strengthen your ISMS
Driving continual improvement is central to ISO 27001, so regular internal and external audits ensure your security processes stay effective and up to date.
ISO 45001
An ISO 45001 audit evaluates how well your Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OH&S) aligns with international standards. It’s a structured, independent review that helps you:
-
Confirm compliance with ISO 45001 requirements
-
Identify and resolve safety risks or gaps
-
Ensure your organisation is actively protecting employee wellbeing
-
Drive continuous improvement in health and safety practices
The audit covers key areas including leadership, planning, support, operations, performance evaluation, and improvement.
Whether you're preparing for certification or maintaining it, regular audits are essential for building a safer, more resilient workplace.
ISO 9001
Regular ISO 9001 audits are critical to achieving and sustaining certification. They help you:
-
Compliance: Confirm your Quality Management System (QMS) meets ISO 9001 requirements
-
Gap closure: Identify and fix issues quickly
-
Improvement: Uncover opportunities to enhance processes and performance
-
Objectives: Keep your quality goals on track
Audits use a structured, impartial evidence-based approach, ensuring your QMS is compliant and aligned with best practice.
Continuous improvement is core to ISO 9001, regular internal and external audits are not just recommended; they’re expected.
ISO 14001
An ISO 14001 audit is an essential step in developing and maintaining your Environmental Management System (EMS). It provides a structured, independent review to confirm compliance with the standard, highlight any gaps, and ensure your organisation is taking the right actions to improve environmental performance.
Regular internal and external audits are a core requirement of ISO 14001, making them central to achieving and sustaining certification. With CFS by your side, you’ll have expert guidance throughout the process, time to address any non-conformities, and the confidence that your EMS meets best practice standards.
ISO 41001
An ISO 41001 audit is a structured review of how effectively an organisation manages its facilities to support business objectives. The process is independent and evidence-based, designed to confirm compliance with the ISO 41001 standard while highlighting areas for improvement. Through the audit, organisations can assess leadership, planning, support, operations, performance evaluation, and improvement practices, ensuring that facility management is aligned with strategic goals.
Regular audits not only prepare businesses for certification but also drive efficiency, resilience, and continual improvement across their facility management systems.
