Security audits and reviews
Security of company data depends on efficient risk management and identification of the organization's vulnerabilities. IT infrastructure, procedures and processes should be subjected to regular audits - preferably in the form of IT security audit.

What does a security audit consist of?
Security audit takes the form of a service through which you can assess the state of security of the company's systems, the correctness of processes and their implementation. With the right procedures in place, there is a chance to detect possible vulnerabilities and the threats to the organization flowing from them. However, it does not stop there. The result of the work security auditor is also to issue relevant recommendations. These are to lead to an increase in the level of protection in this area. Security audit of information systems should always proceed in accordance with current standards and laws and refer to the specific regulations or standards under which it is performed.
Why conduct an audit?
The base of maintaining business security is to be aware of the risks revolving around it. Knowledge of possible gaps in the organization's system and the possibilities of eliminating them is what provides the security audit.
The data obtained through analysis can be used to develop the company and implement improvements in its various segments. Hiring a security auditor is also an opportunity to save money - an unexpected cyberattack and leakage of sensitive or strategic data can ultimately cost a lot.

Which audit to choose?
Security audit can be one-time or cyclical. It all depends on the specifics of the company's operations and the needs of the entrepreneur himself. The auditor can deal with the analysis of both the entire infrastructure and only its individual elements.
When ordering such a procedure, make sure that the company's provided documentation such as the ISMS, network diagrams and the applicable policy (PBI) have been thoroughly analyzed in terms of IT security. After the audit is completed, it is the coordinator's duty to provide vulnerability scan reports. In doing so, the report should provide an assessment of the risks and threats created, as well as recommendations for neutralizing them.Â

Stages of a security audit
Audit preparation
This is the time to define the goals of the audit, its scope and the selection of appropriate methods. At this stage, auditors also gather the necessary documentation of the company and information about its operating structure and key systems.
Identification of risks
Next, IT security threats of both human-dependent and human-independent nature are analyzed.
Evaluation of current safeguards
A security auditor is tasked with assessing the effectiveness of an organization's cyber security. He or she will take under the microscope both existing policies, rules, standards and available tools, as well as the IT technologies used.
Testing and verification
This is the moment of the audit, when the effectiveness of current security procedures is checked - usually by means of configuration or compliance tests.
Creating a report and recommendations
The audit team finally issues a report on the analysis carried out. It includes assessments, the result of tests, recommendations and a proposal of repair plans for the business security system. It also determines compliance, or non-compliance, with a specific legal standard or regulation.
