Question about gap analysis

What documentation is needed for a gap analysis between 27001:2013 and 27001:2022? I'm also interested to know if there is a template available for this.

Surveillance audit

I do have a query regarding the ISO 27001:2022 standard.

In 2021, we successfully conducted an ISO Audit based on the ISO 27001:2013 standards. As the date for our surveillance audit approaches, we are seeking clarification regarding the standards to be followed. Our Surveillance audit is due on 10 August 2023.

Considering the recent updates to ISO standards according to ISO 27001:2022, we would like to confirm whether we can continue with the surveillance audit according to the ISO 27001:2013 standards or if is it necessary for us to update our processes to comply with the ISO 27001:2022 standards.

Thank you for your attention to our inquiry. Looking forward to your reply.

Questions about implementation

I have some questions if that's okay! See below:

What documents should we be including under the ISMS? Should the scope mainly include policies and procedures or should we be including all client/supplier contracts, day to day project documents eg. cost estimates / statement of works etc.

Double check internal annual audit - does this need to happen every year? if so, when does this happen e.g., every year from certification? (in our case, we're looking to be certified Sept 2023, so Sept 2024 would be the next internal audit). Is there any leniency on it being 12 months versus 18 months for example?

Remote working policy - this is more general advice, but do we need to add how we manage people working abroad, as they need to be able to work from wherever they can on business which can sometimes mean in a coffee shop or workspace, which we advise against when working in London for security reasons. What do others usually suggest here?

Again, this is more seeking advice, but should client infrastructure be covered under our ISMS scope? We currently are excluding them as we feel we would be covered under their own security policies but just wanted to double check that's accurate/ what the standard is?

Thanks very much!

How to efficiently plan the audit

Compliments of the season to you. I have been following you for over a year now. I have watched your videos, bought   your book on how to implement ISO 27001, and attended your Webinars.

My company just posted numerous positions for Intermediate 'Security Auditor' (With focus on ISO 27001) and I asked them if I can join the team to start gaining experience.. Their response is that I don't have any experience, though I have the training and certification (PECB Provisional Auditor ISO/IEC 27001, ISACA Cybersecurity Certificate and ISACA IT Audit Fundamentals). I am currently working as a Security Analyst..

How can I gain Audit experience to prepare for such opportunities or even start consultancy job?
