ICT Audit Preparation & Response
What Is It?
- Specialised service designed to support and strengthen ICT-related controls within an organisation which are the focus of audits (both internal and external). The service is delivered in two major phases – First, assisting organisations to understand and prepare for ICT audits and providing support throughout the audit itself to ensure the best chance of positive outcome. Second, reviewing and supporting the response to the audit report – including facilitating Management Responses to audit findings as well as formulating and managing action lists to address the findings while applying a risk-based approach
What Problem does it Solve?
- An ill-prepared response to an audit could be an indication of a environment which may contain uncontrolled risks and thus may have heightened business continuity challenges
- Recommendations delivered in an audit report will likely be reported to risk compliance and board groups and will almost certainly require action and be a key focus of subsequent audits and checks. Organisations often require support to adequately plan and execute works related to recommendations as they can be complex in nature, this can result in risks not being appropriately mitigated
- Not meeting audit requirements can put at risk existing and future contracts and grant
