I.T. Security Assessments and Audits

Technology compliance guidelines--such as GLBA, NCUA, FFIEC, and HIPAA--mandate businesses conduct independent audits of their I.T. security. Such assessments compare an organization’s current security protocols with standards established by the firm's industry or international standards such as ISO 27001, COBIT 4, and so. Assessments include the collection and analysis of data and the practices a company has in place that impact the security of its infrastructure. Clear security vulnerabilities are also identified. The assessment also includes recommendations--prioritized by urgency--and the steps needed to return to compliance and better safeguard what matters most.
