Assurance planning and sampling

Plan a proportionate review that can support a defensible conclusion.

Learn

Define objective, criteria, scope, sample and evidence method before reviewing individual artefacts.

Use risk-based sampling to focus deeper testing on high-consequence systems, controls and recent changes.

Record sampling limitations so the conclusion is not broader than the work performed.

Remember
  • •Assurance begins with criteria.
  • •Sample by risk, not convenience.
  • •Conclusion must match scope.
