IT security audit

How exposed is your company to cyber attacks?

Consult our security experts, identify your gaps and gain peace of mind

What is an IT security audit? How is an IT security audit carried out? What is the role of an IT security audit? Does my company comply with IT security regulations?

In addition to the growing number of cyber-attacks and the need to protect against them, the entry into force of the new Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) requires companies to have adequate data security in place. To find out whether your company is minimally protected against cyber-attacks and compliant with the DPA, here’s a list of questions to ask yourself:

Do you have an IT security policy that enforces compliance with best practices and is well communicated within the organization?
Are your procedures, management processes and IT infrastructure inventory well documented and regularly updated?
Are your workstations, servers and applications adequately protected against threats?
Do you have immutable and regularly tested backups for your critical IT assets?
Do you have an incident response plan covering, among other things, cyber-attacks?

The IT security audit is an in-depth examination designed to assess your level of exposure to cyber-attacks and your level of compliance with legal requirements, such as the Data Protection Act (DPA), in terms of data security.
