      IMHO this is a very bad practice. In many cases, there is no logic. For example, the auditor wants you to send him by E-mail The Statement of Applicability (ISO/IEC 27001). And in some cases such a practice can also be qualified as a crime. But most importantly, the auditing process, when it comes to management systems, does not require the auditor to take and store evidence. Such a practice of taking evidences conflicts with the first principle of auditing – integrity – and with the principle of confidenciality …

    Good article and GREAT book by Craig. ISO 9001:2015 in plain English is a recommendation to any company dealing with an ISO based standard!
