Information Technology Audit
IT audit is a process of examination and evaluation of an organization’s information technology infrastructure, policies, and operation. An IT audit determines whether IT controls protect corporate assets, ensure data integrity and are aligned with the business’s overall goals.
The main objective of an IT audit is to evaluate the availability of computer systems, the security, and confidentiality of the information within the system, ensuring information-related controls and processes are working properly.
The purpose of an IT audit is to determine how effectively an organization is maintaining protocols and to provide direction on how to improve. Our IT audit services help organizations improve internal controls & security, and keep the efficiency of their company’s business operation.
Why is an IT audit needed?
IT audit concentrates on affirming that the internal controls exist and are properly functioning to minimize business risk. This allows you to improve the reliability and efficiency of your IT systems and services, safeguarding assets, maintaining data integrity, and the operational effectiveness of your organization.
