This is the entry or training grade, for the auditor who has the appropriate personal attributes and technical competences but lacks the required IT auditing experience.
TickIT 2000 Auditor
This grade applies when the auditor meets all the requirements for participating as an audit team member and is seen as a natural progression from 'provisional' status.
TickIT 2000 Lead Auditor
This grade applies to experienced auditors who meet all the requirements for TickIT 2000 Auditor and have demonstrated their capability to manage and lead audits.
TickIT 2000 Principal Auditor
This grade
is designed as an alternative to the Lead Auditor grade and is intended to
recognize the considerable experience and competence of the two following
categories of auditors who operate
on their own. (i.e. as a team of one, performing sole audits);
- auditors with a background in quality consulting (whose key competences
are implementing quality systems and performing all aspects of the audit
process without assistance)
- auditors with a background in leading
audit teams (as lead auditors) but who now audit on their own (whose key
competence is audit management and team leadership).
