Risk Treatment Plan and audit
Assign topic to the user
Answer: I'm assuming that for RTP you are referring to Risk Treatment Plan. Considering that, the answer is no, you can leave some of the controls for the implementation for after the auditing under the following conditions:
1) That you have implemented before the audit the controls that mitigate the biggest risks – in other words, you can leave only less important controls for after the audit
2) That you have specified the deadlines for the controls that you will be implementing after the audit in your Risk Treatment Plan – of course, those deadlines must be after the audit date
3) That your risk owners or top management accept all the risks for which controls have not been implemented before the audit
This means that the most important controls must have ”implemented“ status at the audit, while the less important controls can have status ”planned“ or ”partially implemented" at the moment of the audit. Of course that for controls with status of ”partially implemented" you have t o keep evidences of activities already performed regarding the implementation (the auditor won't audit the control, but he will verify if the implementation plan is being executed).
