Cyber Auditing

The goal is to identify any vulnerabilities that could result in a data breach. This includes weaknesses that enable malicious actors to gain unauthorised access to sensitive information, as well as poor internal practices that might result in employees accidentally or negligently breaching sensitive information. As part of their review, the auditor will assess the organisation’s compliance posture. Depending on the nature of the organisation, it could be subject to several information security and data privacy laws, creating a complex net of requirements. The audit should be performed by a qualified third party. The results of their assessment act as a verification to management, vendors and other stakeholders that the organisation’s defences are adequate.

The importance of cyber security auditing

Cyber security audits are a vital component of an organisation’s defences against data breaches and privacy violations. By probing organisations’ systems and services, an auditor can identify security weaknesses, and determine whether their practices comply with relevant laws, such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
