A surveillance audit is a specific evaluation of a registered firm's management system that is conducted as part of the registration procedure.

An organization's continued compliance with ISO standards is the main goal of an ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) surveillance audit.

A certification organization that gives a certificate of compliance with a three-year validity period ensures that the management system will be in place during that time. 

An auditor from the certifying organization visits the business on a regular basis to check on the effectiveness of the management system. A surveillance audit must be carried out by the auditor at least once every year.

The recertification audit, which happens at the conclusion of each three-year certification cycle, aids an organization in preparing for each surveillance audit.
