  A cyber security audit is a comprehensive review of an organization’s IT infrastructure. Audits ensure that appropriate policies and procedures have been implemented and are working effectively.

The goal is to identify any vulnerabilities that could result in a data breach. This includes weaknesses that enable malicious actors to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, as well as poor internal practices that might result in employees accidentally or negligently breaching sensitive information.

As part of their review, the auditor will assess the organization’s compliance posture. Depending on the nature of the organization, it could be subject to several information security and data privacy laws, creating a complex net of requirements.

The audit should be performed by a qualified third party. The results of their assessment act as a verification to management, vendors and other stakeholders that the organization’s defenses are adequate.

Benefit: 

• Identify and address security and compliance weaknesses.
• comprehensive overview of the systems and gain insights on the best way to address vulnerabilities.
• Mitigates the risk of a data breach and the repercussions that come with that. For example, a security incident can result in significant financial damage, which could have a lasting effect.
