Description

Information Security Auditing is the process of evaluating an organization's information systems, policies, and controls to ensure the protection of sensitive data and compliance with relevant standards and regulations. It involves assessing risks, identifying vulnerabilities, and reviewing the effectiveness of security measures, such as encryption, access controls, and firewalls. Auditors also analyze how well an organization adheres to established security frameworks, such as ISO/IEC 27001 or NIST, and provide recommendations for improvements to safeguard against cyber threats, data breaches, and unauthorized access. The goal is to enhance the overall security posture and reduce potential liabilities.
