The Information Security Audit and Assessment Frequency Checklist (ISMS) helps organizations keep track of the frequency of security audits and assessments required for their information security management system (ISMS). This checklist can be used to plan and schedule security audits and assessments, as well as to track the progress and results of these activities.

• Keep up to date on security trends and emerging threats.
• Repeat the audit/assessment process at agreed intervals to ensure that the ISMS continues to meet its objectives.
• Conduct an initial assessment to identify gaps and potential improvements.
• Define the scope of the ISMS and agree on the objectives of the audit/assessment.
