MySEF is a MS ISO/IEC17025 accredited laboratory since 2010. Thus, MySEF goes through frequent audits by the Department of Standards Malaysia and the yearly internal audits. On top of that, as one of the departments under CyberSecurity Malaysia which is MS ISO/IEC 27001 certified, MySEF also goes through internal and external MS ISO/IEC 27001 audits.

In order to help MySEF staff prepare for the audits, an audit preparation checklist has been prepared to be used when preparing for the audits, be it MS ISO/IEC 17025 audits and MS ISO/IEC 27001 audits internal or external.
