Audits

An IT Audit is a structured review of systems, operations, and controls to evaluate whether they meet organizational standards and regulatory requirements. It helps verify that data is secure, processes are efficient, and risks are adequately managed.

An IT Audit typically involves reviewing areas such as data access, cybersecurity, backup procedures, and compliance with internal or external rules. These audits may be performed by internal staff or external firms and often rely on software tools to scan systems and generate reports. The goal is not only to identify problems but also to suggest improvements. Regular audits help organizations reduce downtime, prevent data loss, and avoid penalties from failing to meet legal or industry requirements.
