Pros include impartiality, knowledge of the Standard and expectations of certification body assessors, auditing expertise and qualifications, experience of auditing other similar organisations, and availability.

Cons include less organisational knowledge, (although this could sometimes be considered an advantage as it is less likely that assumptions will be made ) and cost.

Our URM consultant was really thorough, genuinely helpful and contributed real value literally within the first few minutes of our session by pointing out some (not-so-obvious) details of the new version of ISO 27001 that we hadn't been aware of until then. He then proceeded with a very well-prepared run-through and explanation of the controls in scope for our upcoming internal audit. Definitely a highlight and overall, very positive experience for us!
