Information Security Audit

Information security policies and procedures are alone not adequate to assure Compliance and protection of sensitive information. The effectiveness of the policies can only be gauged by performing an assessment on how they are implemented. This is when Information Security Audit comes into the picture. Information Security Audit is a comprehensive assessment of policies implemented and examining the technical, physical and administrative controls in the organization. The audit process conducted is to ensure the set policies and procedures are appropriately implemented and adopted by the staff across the organization. It is an on-going process which involves maintaining the effectiveness of security controls and policies. Information Security Audit is the most efficient and cost effective means of evaluating the information security posture of an organization.

    The Security Audit is applicable to any organization across industries looking to improve business processes and secure sensitive business information.

    ISO27001 is an International Standard and industry best practice for Information Security Management. Some organisations in specialised areas do ask for InfoSec audit with a combination of ISO27001 and PCI DSS or HIPAA or GDPR or even SOC2.

    Information Security Audit includes examining the design of the policies and procedures and then evaluating the effective implementation of policies and procedures, evaluation of firewalls, monitoring technologies, encryption software, network architectural design, asset management, change management, and logical access control solutions to name a few.
