Webinar: IT Assurance and Best Practice

A key evolution in terms of organisations improving their cyber security and data protection best practice, is that of IT Auditing. In a world of growing aggressive cyber threats, it is critical to have an accurate, regular view of your true risk status.

The purpose? To ensure that IT systems are functioning properly and securely, protecting corporate assets, maintaining data integrity, and aligning with the business’s overall goals and objectives.

Measurement of your current risk surface is essential and can be achieved through an evaluation of an organization’s IT systems, infrastructure, policies, and operations. An effective IT Audit will collect and evaluate evidence of your management and controls over information technology, in turn surfacing opportunities for improvement, growth and improved compliance standards.

In turn, this facilitates the next steps in cyber and data risk reduction, and is proven to link to:

• Efficient digital transformation projects
• Effective leveraging of large data sets as a tool for better decision making
• Maintaining a competitive advantage in your market, and
• Meeting security and best practice requirements when engaged in mergers, sales or acquisitions
• Evidencing security standards and best practice through internationally recognised frameworks, such as SOC2 and ISO 27001

Our expert panel will consider the purpose and benefits of IT Auditing, the added value to be gained beyond compliance-based testing, and the types of organisation for whom IT Auditing should be a regular occurrence, and why they need it.
