Auditor Certification and Qualifications

IRCA (International Register for Certified Auditors) operates a certification scheme for ISMS auditors.  There are four grades of auditor covered by this scheme:

• ISMS Provisional Auditor

• ISMS Auditor

• ISMS Lead Auditor

• ISMS Principal Audit

 As part of the certification process IRCA will evaluate applicants against requirements which reflect the key skills, knowledge and experience that define competence and which the ISMS auditor need to have and demonstrate during an audit.  The evaluation criteria specifies the education, work experience, auditor training and auditing experience an applicant needs to qualify for registration of these grades.

The Scheme is intended for:

• ISMS auditors, e.g. those employed/contracted by third party certification/registration bodies, those involved in first or second party ISMS audits

• Information security practitioners, e.g. Information security consultants, IT security managers and IT personnel.

• Employees conducting ISMS audits within their own organization i.e. internal ISMS audits.

The ISMS Auditor Certification Scheme is based on knowledge and experience of the key ISMS standards and guidelines

The details of all certified auditors are included within a register, which is published and made publicly available  by IRCA.
