IMS1 ISO 9001 and 27001 Audit Checklist Template
A full audit checklist for a management system built on the alphaZ IMS1 Integrated Management System Manual covering ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, with a question for each area of the system followed by sections for information security management. Each question is referenced to its IMS1 section. It is set out on the F-Q2 Audit Checklist format, with the scope, criteria, auditor and date recorded at the top, and each question alongside the auditee and the evidence viewed, response and findings.
Areas Covered
- IMS1 Section 1 - how the system is managed and communicated, scope and interested parties, risks and climate change, business continuity, document control, records and personal data, backups and legal requirements
- IMS1 Section 2 - policies, responsibilities, senior management commitment, management review and objectives
- IMS1 Section 3 - competence and training records, inductions and appraisals, premises, vehicles and equipment, and communications
- IMS1 Section 4 - enquiries and quotes, purchasing and supplier vetting, operations records, change and design
- IMS1 Section 5 - customer feedback, nonconforming work and complaints, and internal audits
- Section 8 Information security management - the information security management system, awareness training and policies, user accounts and access, information assets and classification, the IT equipment register, monitoring and physical security, clear desk and clear screen, incidents, information security risks and the statement of applicability
Carrying Out the Audit
Each question covers a whole area, so the full audit can be done in a single visit, for example before a certification audit. Several questions ask to see records, such as paperwork for completed jobs or projects, so allow time to look at the evidence as well as to ask. The information security questions are best covered with whoever manages the IT systems, looking at settings and records.
Planning the Audit
Have the management system documentation, the main registers and the record of the last management review to hand, along with the statement of applicability and the information security risks register, and arrange time with top management and the people who run each area.

Combined IMS1 Checklists
The combined checklists add environmental, health and safety, or information security management to the full management system audit, for organisations working to more than one standard. The range covers ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and ISO 45001, ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 and ISO 27001.
Not Using IMS1?
For a management system that is not built on IMS1, the ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 Management System Audit Checklist covers the same ground without the IMS1 references.
