• Experience auditing cloud based and SaaS businesses.
• Able to write concise, evidence based findings that non technical leaders understand.
• Based in the UK and able to work as a self-employed contractor.
• Willing to declare any certification body work so we can confirm you are independent before each assignment.

• Plan and carry out independent internal audits against ISO/IEC 27001:2022 clauses 4 to 10 and the Annex A controls.
• Build a risk based audit plan and checklist from the client's scope, Statement of Applicability and previous audit findings.
• Interview control owners and review evidence in the client's compliance platform and document tools.
• Check that earlier non-conformities have been closed properly and the fixes work.
• Raise clear findings graded as major non-conformity, minor non-conformity or opportunity for improvement.
• Write a short, plain English audit report that the client's leadership can act on before management review.
• Present findings at a closing meeting with the client and Intelance.
• Stay fully independent of the team that runs the client's ISMS day to day.
• Follow Intelance quality, security, confidentiality and conflict of interest procedures.
