Question 1 / 3

How important do you think it is to have an interview with the top management of the organization during the audit of the BCMS?

It’s useful, but it is not a key part of the audit, as the top management is not usually familiar with the business continuity arrangements and objectives.

It’s very important to conduct at least an interview with the top management, to be able to understand its involvement and its support for the BCMS.

It is not important as long as the other persons in the organization provide all the necessary information.

Question 2 / 3

An organization that you are auditing has only performed discussion-based exercises but no full-scale simulations of disruptions. As auditor what is your opinion?

This is an opportunity for improvement, to examine the organization’s ability to respond to disruptions and recover in a more challenging and realistic way.

This is a major nonconformity; ISO 22301 asks for simulations.

Question 3 / 3

True or false? A good auditor will always offer the organization clear instructions as to what actions it must take to correct the nonconformities identified.

True. The audit should help the organization improve, so the auditor must explain how to correct nonconformities.

False. The auditor shall not propose or suggest solutions to correct the nonconformity.
