System Audit

A security audit provides a comprehensive report on the status of your security system. There are two types of audit which can be conducted together or separately.

A security system audit provides an independent review of the security system and looks for weaknesses against industry best practice. While a security policy audit ensures that security policies in use are up-to-date and are being followed.

Why audit your security system?

Security threats change and increase every day. Regular audits will check that updates are being properly and regularly applied.

An audit provides a baseline of the existing system from which new investment can be accurately planned, avoiding excessive or inappropriate expenditure.

A policy audit will check that the security policies which management has communicated are being adhered to.

System audits will help spot any errors in configuration which can leave vulnerabilities in the most secure products.

Audits can help overcome 'rule-creep' as small system changes over time cumulatively produce a significant shift in overall system security.
