Accountability for responsibilities

The organization conducts internal audits in accordance with its internal audit procedure. The aim is to check:

• whether the information security management system complies with the organisation's cyber security requirements
• whether the information security management system complies with other operational security requirements or standards complied with
• whether the information security management system is implemented effectively

Documented information on the execution and results of audits must be kept.

The organization has established a procedure for conducting internal audits. The procedure shall describe at least:

• how often audits are carried out
• who may carry out the audits (including audit criteria)
• how the actual audit is carried out
• how audit results are documented and to whom the results are reported
• results should be reported to a competent authority if it's law regulated

The ISMS should monitor the implementation of the tasks and guidelines recorded therein.

The task owner should regularly review the implementation status of the ISMS as a whole.

The organisation regularly evaluates the level of cyber security and the effectiveness of the information security management system.

Organisation has defined:

• monitored metrics to provide comparable results on the development of cyber security level
• persons responsible for the metering
• methods, timetable and responsible persons for metrics reviewing and evaluation
• methods to document metric-related evaluations and results

Effective metrics should be usable for identifying weaknesses, targeting resources better and assessing organisation's success / failure related to cyber security.
