The Information Security Audit Policy serves as a cornerstone document for organizations operating under English and Welsh jurisdiction, establishing systematic approaches to security evaluation and compliance. This document has become increasingly critical due to evolving cyber threats and stringent data protection requirements under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. It provides comprehensive guidance on audit procedures, frequency, scope, and responsibilities, helping organizations maintain robust security postures and demonstrate regulatory compliance.
