How to Pass Audits — Learn from an Expert
Audits don't have to be painful — but they often are, because nobody tells you the things that actually matter until you've sat through a few.
In this 20-minute lightning talk, I'll share what I've learned from 25 years on both sides of the audit table: building security and compliance programmes that get audited, and auditing partners on behalf of Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud and SAP. You'll hear how to read what an auditor is really asking, which evidence carries weight (and which is just noise), the small habits that turn a chaotic scramble into a calm review, and the mistakes that quietly cost organisations time, money, and certifications.
Whether you're heading into ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA, NIS2, or your first internal audit, you'll leave with practical tactics you can put to work on Monday morning or any day of the week.
