What are the primary objectives of an IT audit?
When performing a thorough IT audit for our customers, we start with determining individual audit objectives, which always directly align with the organization’s business objectives. Most engagements focus on ensuring proper controls to mitigate various risks effectively. Our team makes sure that IT audit objectives are consistent with the organization’s objectives regarding:
- Achievement of operational goals and objectives
- Reliability and integrity of information
- Safeguarding assets
- Effective and efficient use of resources
- Compliance with significant policies, procedures, laws, and regulations
What does the audit process look like?
Although every IT infrastructure audit is unique based on individual needs, the IT audit process usually consists of four stages:
- Planning,
- On-premises work,
- Reporting,
- Follow-up.
In order to run our Security Audits smoothly, we create a tailored audit checklist, making sure we tackle all areas. Each audit might result in diverting a certain amount of time from your usual operations; thus, it is crucial you and your staff engage in the entire process. Engagement, on both ends, minimizes the time necessary to perform a thorough audit and avoids disrupting ongoing activities.
