What is it?
ISO 27001 Surveillance Audits are required annually (years 2 and 3 of the certification cycle) to validate the continued effectiveness of your ISMS. These audits focus on specific areas of the standard and confirm that controls and improvements remain in place.
These audits play a crucial role in helping organizations uphold their Information Security Management System (ISMS) and foster continuous improvement in their information security practices.

Our Process
1
Surveillance Scope Planning
We help define which controls and clauses will be reviewed by the certification body based on your certification cycle and CB plan.
3
Corrective Action Review
We assess whether previously identified issues from certification or past audits have been effectively resolved and documented.
5
Findings Analysis & Response
If observations or nonconformities are reported, we help you develop a clear, compliant response strategy.
2
Evidence & Audit Trail Preparation
We prepare and review the mandatory ISMS documentation required for the Stage 1 audit, and resolve any early issues flagged by the auditor.
4
Audit Support & Facilitation
NDB supports your team during surveillance fieldwork, facilitating walkthroughs, interviews, and document reviews.
6
ISMS Improvement Advisory
We provide advisory on continuous improvement activities to help prepare for your next full certification cycle or recertification.
