ISO Lead Auditor certification/recertification
I was asked today if ISO Lead Auditors must be recertified annually. I do not recall that requirement from the Lead Auditor training/certification nor can I find anything online that would indicate recertification is necessary. However, HITRUST CSF Practitioner does require recertification and refresher courses, so it would seem reasonable that BSI or Exemplar would also require recertification/refresher courses.

The need for recertification/refresher courses is defined by the certification issuer (e.g., Hightrust Alliance, CISSP and ISACA for their certifications), and what normally happens regarding ISO Auditor certifications is that recertification/refresher courses are necessary only when there is a change in the related management system standard (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 14001, etc), or in the audit standard (ISO 19011), so people can keep the necessary competences for audit, and such changes do not occur annually (it takes at least 5 years for a standard to be reviewed).
