Date/Time: 2026-10-01 14:00 - 15:00

Description

Join us for a Free webinar, hosted by an International ISO Auditor. This is a rare opportunity to understand where ISO Auditors are approaching the audits. External Auditors are not allowed to provide any advice during an audit or to provide consulting to audit clients. Thus, we are just auditing to make a judgement regarding the compliance against the requirements of the standards.
