Is it worth conducting an IT audit?

What is an IT audit and what impact does it have on your company?

The short name IT audit covers many areas and issues that it covers. It is a process of collecting and assessing evidence conducted by an external company or an auditor employed by the company. It will determine whether IT systems and related resources properly protect company property, maintain data integrity and security, and whether they provide appropriate and reliable information. An IT audit affects the optimization of IT processes and IT security in your company, and will increase the level of security for projects and data with which the company works on a daily basis. It will have a positive impact on the optimal functioning of the company and its stability, while reducing operational risk and the possibility of data loss or business continuity.

Benefits of performing an audit

Let's discuss the profits that the company will receive after the IT audit, which will contribute to development, increased income and peace of mind in the future.

• Identification of threats and violations of good business practices, possible abuses.
• Verification of the level of security in the company, which is responsible, among others, for the security of data and all information processed in the company. Security is still very often pushed to the end of the queue of companies' concerns and interests, so it leads to a lot of problems. Lack of stable foundations for development and possible huge financial losses.
• Developing procedures for responding to security incidents and crisis situations related to the operation of company resources.
• Organizing the structure of available resources.

To sum up, you will learn about the problems and areas requiring changes, and we will present you with ready-made solutions to implement. Moreover, we will present you with possible improvements for the future.

Collecting and evaluating information

When thinking about organizing the resource structure, there are three main stages of this process:

• Inventory of available equipment, analysis of the configuration of workstations (and servers), which involves running an appropriate inventory program that precisely describes the device components. The consequence may be a recommendation to expand the hardware base by purchasing appropriate components or migrating them. This will optimally support the activities performed by the company and its employees, contributing to increased work comfort and providing an environment for development and progress.
• Inventory of licenses, i.e. the legality of software. First, the goal is to organize software resources and existing licenses. Secondly, limiting the unknowingly used illegal software and optimizing costs.
• System resource analysis.

After collecting the information, we will point out gaps in the system and processes, identify potential threats and possible improvements. Another important benefit will be the preparation of an action plan in the event of a crisis. All this will translate into the security of your company and the lack of financial losses.   

Safety above all

To sum up, awareness of one's own weaknesses can be turned into a strength, which is why it is so important to get a reliable and objective opinion on the level of IT security. As a result, this will help protect data resources against failures, cyberattacks or other random events. Moreover, correcting detected errors may have a significant impact on the further functioning of a given company.
