[All ISO-IEC-27001-Lead-Auditor Questions]

Which three of the following options are an advantage of using a sampling plan for the audit?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, D, E

According to ISO 19011:2018, which provides guidelines for auditing management systems, a sampling plan is a method for selecting a representative subset of the audit evidence from a defined population1.A sampling plan can have several advantages for the audit, such as providing a suitable understanding of the ISMS by covering its key processes, activities, and controls; implementing the audit plan efficiently by optimizing the use of time and resources; and giving confidence in the audit results by ensuring that the sample is sufficient, reliable, and unbiased1. Therefore, these three options are examples of advantages of using a sampling plan for the audit. The other options are not advantages, but rather disadvantages or risks of using a sampling plan.For example, overruling the auditor's instincts may lead to missing important evidence or issues that are not covered by the sampling plan; using the same plan for consecutive audits may reduce the effectiveness and validity of the audit results; and missing key issues may result from an inadequate or inappropriate sampling plan1.Reference:ISO 19011:2018 - Guidelines for auditing management systems

Wait, does it really overrule the auditor's instincts? That sounds off.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the use of the plan for consecutive audits is definitely an advantage, but I’m uncertain about the others.

I feel like the option about providing a suitable understanding of the ISMS is important, but I can't recall if it's actually an advantage of a sampling plan.

I think using a sampling plan gives confidence in the audit results, but I might be mixing it up with another concept we covered.

I'm a bit confused by this question. Some of these options don't seem like clear advantages to me. I'll need to re-read the question and really think through which ones are the best advantages of using a sampling plan.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure what the "advantages" of using a sampling plan are, so I'll need to think through each option carefully. Hopefully I can eliminate a couple of the less relevant ones.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. If the story is too big, we need to break it down. So I'm going to go with story decomposition as the best approach.
