Is it Time For a Tech Audit?
How reliable is the technology your business or organization depends on every day? If you’re not sure, it may be time to conduct a tech audit. A tech audit will help ensure that your systems are operating according to their intended function, and that the data you store is safe from cyber-attacks that could expose sensitive information.
A tech audit is a comprehensive review of the IT infrastructure and policies of a business. It is a way to identify potential security threats, as well as identify ways to improve internal controls. It is a vital part of any cybersecurity plan and can be used to satisfy the requirements of certification or regulatory requirements.
To conduct a technology audit a group of professionals with the required qualifications should first develop a plan that outlines the scope, timeframe, and other details. This plan should include how the results will be utilized and how improvements made will be implemented into everyday business processes.
Once the audit is completed, it’s important to ensure that the final report is clear and concise. The report should be readable by nontechnical stakeholders, and should include a summary of the findings, as well as a roadmap to address any issues that are identified. In addition, to technical techniques for auditing, it’s important to consider the moral and ethical consequences of certain technology algorithms.
