I've been working for several large companies that are legally required
to carry out annual audits of their IT infrastucture, both internal and
outsourced, and had to deal with external auditors from PWC, KPMG and
E&Y, to name just a few, and I know that it's absolutely impossible to
argue with external auditors and your customers' management if you care
about your mental health. They will drag you down to their level and
beat you with experience, so ISC is not to blame, IMHO.
