ISMS internal and external parties

Answer: Internal parties are those under responsibility of the organization to which the ISMS belongs to. Examples are employees and contractors working on behalf of the organization.

External parties are those outside the control of the organization but interact with it (e.g., customers, stakeholders, providers, etc.) or that can affect the ISMS (e.g., government, regulators, etc.)
