A first-party audit is an internal audit in which the organization’s own staff or contractors check the conformity and effectiveness of the ISMS. A certification body auditor and an audit team from an accreditation body are external auditors who conduct audits for the purpose of certification or accreditation. They do not participate in a first-party audit, but rather in a third-party audit.
