IT and cyber security audit
What is an audit and why is it important?
Whether it is an internal or external audit, in both cases it is a key tool for checking the functioning of the organisation. In addition, in the field of information technology and cyber security , it helps to mitigate risks, initiate technological innovation and propose measures that can fundamentally strengthen competitiveness.
What is the objective of the audit?
Audit objectives are usually defined by the needs arising from the size of the company:
Small organisations
The goal of a cybersecurity audit in small organizations is primarily to:
- identify weaknesses in the security of IT systems and processes,
- to assess the current level of security against real threats - the audit compares the status with applicable standards (e.g. NIS2, ISO 27001), legislative requirements and best practices,
- prevent security incidents,
- get independent recommendations and suggestions for improvement,
- to channel investments in cyber security effectively.
The audit not only gives the organisation an objective view of its security level, but also provides concrete steps to strengthen it.
Large organisations
For large organisations, we carry out the audit in cooperation with the internal audit team or in agreement with the lead auditor.
The main target is usually:
- verification of independence and objectivity - internal audit may be limited by company culture, management priorities or limited professional capacity in certain areas (e.g. cloud security, OT security),
- expanding the expertise and competences of the internal team,
- assessing compliance with international standards and legislative requirements,
- review of the security strategy and risk management system,
- identification of weaknesses and proposals for specific measures.
Audit in a large organization is not a control of the internal team, but rather a partnership that strengthens and expands their position and professional impact within the organization.
