Explanation:
One possible way to complete the sentence is:
"When reviewing the effectiveness of action taken in response to a nonconformity, an auditor seeks evidence of change that will prevent recurrence of the issue." According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, clause 10.1, the organization shall continually improve the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the ISMS by evaluating the performance and the effectiveness of the ISMS, ensuring that the policy and objectives are aligned with the strategic direction of the organization, and taking actions to achieve the intended outcomes of the ISMS. One of the ways to achieve continual improvement is to identify and correct nonconformities and take actions to eliminate their causes and prevent their recurrence.
Therefore, when reviewing the effectiveness of the corrective actions, an auditor should look for evidence that the organization has analyzed the root cause of the nonconformity, implemented appropriate changes to the ISMS, and verified that the changes have resulted in the desired improvement and prevented the recurrence of the issue.
