SUMMARY:ISO 9001:2015 Internal Auditor Training - Menomonie\, WI
DESCRIPTION:Internal Auditors are vital to a successful management system.

Attendees will leave with true-to-life auditing experience. \nCourse Objectives: \n\nCreate competent internal auditors to assist in monitoring the effectiveness of the organization’s ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System\nUnderstand and interpret the ISO 9001:2015 standard\nDevelop auditing skills to become good\, impartial auditors for the workplace\nDevelop auditing skills so that internal audits are both efficient and value added\nLearn quality and auditing terminology\nUnderstand the “Plan\, Do\, Check\, Act” methodology\nUnderstand the concept of the “process audit” approach espoused by the ISO 9001:2015 standard.\nDevelop the ability to write objective audit plans and reports that aid in making effective corrective actions\, when required\nDiscern when audit findings are warranted\nLearn how to present audit findings and defend them in terms of compliance to the ISO 9001:2015 standard

SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Integrating DFARS Requirements Into Your Day-to-Day Cyber Practices
DESCRIPTION:In today’s constantly evolving marketplace\, DOD contractors and subcontractor should adopt a cyber framework and develop flexible policies that will assist in hardening their computers and networks to the ever evolving threats and attacks. \nRealistically\, there is no one strategy or set of steps that can be taken that will defend against all current and future threats.
