Auditors and technical aspects
Does the auditor verify technical aspects, for example the quality of a network architecture from the security point of view, or the truth of information recorded in risk assessment table?
Answer:
Yes, an auditor can verify technical aspects, because there are technical controls (A.13.1.1, A.13.1.2, A.13.1.3, specific related to the network security management), and of course can verify the truth of the information registered in the risk assessment table, because the auditor needs evidences about the implementation and maintenance of the ISMS and needs to verify if your activities comply with your own documentation.

Risk management based on assets?
Assets are usually used to perform the risk assessment although not mandatory by ISO 27001:2013
How will i take risk assessment ? I mean based on what . Can I do implement ISo27001 with out asset management and risk assessment ?
Answer:
The recommendable is to have a risk management based on assets, although you are right, it is not mandatory. Another approach is to base your risk management in process, but generally it is for big companies. So, you can implement ISO 27001 without a risk management based on assets, although it is not recommendable (most of methodologies are based on assets). Anyway, the asset management is an important issue in ISO 27001, and you can do it independently of the risk management. Furthermore it is mandatory to have a document for the inventory of assets.

How works ISO 27001?
some question in my minds please clear me how is works 20001 & 27001 and what is the benefits after taking and what about the profits after implementation
Answer:
ISO 27001 works establishing requisites for the implementation of an Information Security Management System (ISMS), so basically here it is important to identify risks and reduce them, for the protection of the information. For more information, please see this What is ISO 27001? : https://advisera.com/27001academy/what-is-iso-27001/

Obligatoriedad de cumplimiento
Favor aclarar sobre la obligatoriedad de cumplimiento de algunos aspectos de esta norma para proveedores de alguna empresa que la esté adoptando..
Respuesta:
Si has implementado ISO 27001 en tu negocio, todas las obligaciones y requerimientos de ISO 27001 son para tu negocio, pero puedes establecer y acordar requerimientos con tus proveedores (por ejemplo a través de SLAs), y también puedes solicitar a tus proveedores que implementen y certifiquen ISO 27001.
