SECURITY AUDIT
What Is A Security Audit?
A security audit is a rigorous and systematic assessment of an organization’s security infrastructure, policies, and procedures. The objective is to detect vulnerabilities, deficiencies, and possible dangers to the organization’s information assets, physical assets, and personnel.
A security audit serves the purpose of evaluating the efficacy of current security measures, identifying vulnerabilities and deficiencies in security, and providing recommendations for enhancing security and reducing risks.
Security audits should be conducted annually or biannually, depending on the organization’s standing and the nature of the data they handle. Performing vulnerability and risk assessments is the most expedient method of conducting security audits, which can be done more frequently on a quarterly or monthly basis. Penetration testing, which requires more time and resources, is better suited to be conducted on a bi-annual basis.
