IT Audit Solutions
The information technology and cybersecurity risk landscape continues to evolve dramatically for organizations.
Technology platforms have broadened to include collaborators and third-party vendors, as technology becomes an integral part of every organization. Simultaneously, information assets have become a key resource that organizations rely on to assess the needs of their various stakeholders and allocate resources to meet them. At the same time, cyberattacks (including ransomware and business email compromise) have increased in both frequency and sophistication, posing a threat that requires constant attention. Predictive intelligence is being leveraged to deploy attacks and broaden the reach across industries and organizations.
Engaging with industry-specialized IT audit partners that anticipate risks can:
- Play a critical role in strengthening an organization’s risk program, responding to emerging technology risks and improving the IT compliance and control environment
- Help identify, prioritize and mitigate risks at the intersection of IT and business processes
- Proactively monitor major changes to an organization and their IT roadmap
- Provide assurance that an organization’s IT risk management strategies and activities are effective and support the achievement of organizational goals
