Security Audit

Systematic, independent evaluation of your company's information systems and adherence to security criteria.

Service Overview

What is a Security Audit?

A security audit is a systematic evaluation of a company's information system's security by measuring how well it conforms to a set of established criteria.

A security audit is the high-level description of the many ways organisations can test and assess their overall security posture, including cybersecurity. You might employ more than one security audit type to achieve your desired results and meet your business objectives.

These audits should be thorough and conducted regularly to secure your data and digital assets. If you're in a highly regulated industry, engaging in this activity will also help your business ensure compliance with frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and SOX.

Cost vs Risk Evaluation: Whenever a vulnerability is identified during an audit, the cost of securing it is evaluated against the true potential cost of a breach.
