Every organization needs to balance its users’ technology needs – speed, ease of use, and convenience — against the critical need to keep information safe and secure against a variety of sophisticated cyber threats and liabilities, both internal and external. That’s why it is crucial for organizations to perform Information Technology (I.T.) Audits.

An I.T. Security Audit, also called an information systems audit, is an examination of the management controls within an Information Technology (I.T.) infrastructure. The evaluation of obtained evidence determines if the information systems are safeguarding assets, maintaining data integrity, and operating effectively to achieve the organization’s goals or objectives. These reviews may be performed in conjunction with a financial statement audit, internal audit, or other form of attestation engagement.

It’s common for organizations to have Internal Financial Auditors in place, but often times do not have the requisite expertise on the I.T. Auditing side.

If your organization’s Internal Audit Department does not have someone designated as an I.T. Auditor to perform Technical Reviews, you should consider outsourcing to a company that specializes in information technology audit services.
