FAQ

What is an information technology audit, and why do the organizations need it? Answer

Information technology audits evaluate an organization’s infrastructure, associated processes, and policies. A dedicated audit team (internal or external) carry out the audit. They evaluate process effectiveness, regulatory compliance, and security strength across such aspects of a company as:

  • Networking
  • Hardware
  • Data security
  • IT Governance

And many more.

Organizations do audits for various reasons, including

  • Manage risks across processes and infrastructure.
  • Comply with industry-specific regulations.
  • Improve operational efficiency and resource utilization.
  • Verify data accuracy and integrity.
  • Stop fraud and unauthorized activities.
  • Measure process performance and improve it.
  • Access business continuity by addressing disaster recovery.
    What type of IT audit check should an organization choose? Answer

    An IT audit can be carried out in three ways:

    • Manual
    • Automated
    • Combination of both manual and automated.

    Manual audits include steps such as:

    • Interviews with stakeholders
    • Physical inspection
    • Process observation
    • Proper documentation review.

    To carry out manual audits, you need a qualified IT team. The other downside of the manual audit includes:

    • Time-consuming and costly
    • Success depends on the team’s qualifications and skillset.

    Automated inspection, on the other hand, uses tools. These tools detect the system’s anomaly. For example, vulnerability scan tools look for weaknesses in systems. Depending on the audit type, teams use automated tools, such as:

    • Log analysis tools
    • Penetration testing tools
    • Configuration analysis tools and many more.

    In reality, companies execute manual and automated IT audit checks, known as computer-assisted audit techniques (CAAT). It improves the chances of success by reducing human errors. The team starts with manual steps, such as interviewing key personnel, and then uses tools incrementally to narrow down system issues.

    What is an IT audit report, and what does it contain? Answer

    An IT audit report is a structured and comprehensive document. It highlights the areas of concern and how to improve them while facilitating communication between the auditor and the organization. Broadly, the report contains the following:

    • Lists the evidence obtained
    • Summarizes the findings
    • Recommendations for mitigation
    • Proposes the timeframe for resolving the issues

    Technically, an IT audit report contains the following:

    • Executive summary of the audit
    • The methodology used and timeframe
    • Detailed findings with risk levels and potential impacts.
    • Recommendations (with priority), including specific instructions on how to resolve each issue.
    • Management response to the findings and agreed-upon action plans with timelines
    • A compliance status that lists non-compliance issues
    • IT control evaluation, which finds issues with a current control mechanism
    • Performance metrics (KPIs) compared along with industry-standard
    • A follow-up plan for future audits and monitoring mechanisms
    What is an IT security audit? Answer

    An IT security audit goes through the security of an information system so that they can find loopholes and provide solutions. An IT security audit solves issues like system weaknesses such as:

    • Internal security policies compliance
    • Match external regulatory requirements
    • Check if security training is enough or if modifications are needed.
    • Set the security baseline for future security audits.
    What is the difference between a security assessment and an IT security audit? Answer
    IT audit is the term that goes deeper than the assessment and inspects all security aspects. Organizations conduct audits to execute the detailed check on regulations, and compliance and how they meet the standards. Assessment is more about internal inspections to check organizational processes, people, and security.
    How often and in what scope will the IT audit be executed? Answer

    Large organizations conduct IT audits annually. In contrast, smaller or medium-scale companies may want to conduct audits more frequently with a smaller scope (such as security audits or performance audits).

    However, there is no consensus on the frequency of audits. A company can carry out audits based on multiple factors, including:

    • Sudden business growth
    • Market conditions
    • Regulatory-driven
    • Post-incident (such as security fault or data leak).

    For example, a company is not sure how to approach ERP integration. They perform an audit to learn about necessary changes and improvements. However, there are cases where continuous information technology auditing is necessary, such as for critical systems.
