An IT security audit is a systematic evaluation of your information technology infrastructure, policies, procedures, and practices to assess your current security posture. The primary goal is to identify potential vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and risks within your IT environment.
During an IT security audit, we examine various aspects such as:
-
Network Security: Assessing firewalls, routers, switches, and other network devices to ensure they are configured securely and are protected against unauthorized access.
-
Software Security: Evaluating software applications for security vulnerabilities, ensuring they’re updated, patched, and configured securely to prevent exploitation.
-
Data Protection: Examining how sensitive data is stored, accessed, and transmitted to ensure it’s adequately protected against unauthorised access or breaches.
-
User Access Controls: Reviewing user accounts, permissions, and access levels to determine if proper controls are in place to prevent unauthorised access to critical systems or data.
-
Physical Security: Assessing physical access controls to IT infrastructure, such as data centers or server rooms, to prevent unauthorized entry or theft.
-
Compliance: Ensuring that you’re adhering to relevant industry regulations and standards.
After conducting the audit, we generate a comprehensive report outlining our findings, the vulnerabilities discovered, and recommendations for improving your overall security posture.
