Internal Auditing

A good rule of thumb is to assume that everything matters

Is your business focused on managing new and persistent risks, while trying to balance revenue growth and expense saving priorities? Let us intersect your businesses challenges of management and compliance by providing skilled auditors to conduct audit assignments in order to keep your concern on top of these critical controls.

Our skill lies in assessing these controls in the following categories:

Integrated business process audits

Information security audits
We evaluate security controls and specifically technical security measures to uncover your vulnerabilities.  Here our consultant’s specialities encompass most network, operating system, and database technologies in operation today.

Information technology general controls audits
We review your businesses controls within the major information technology processes.

Technical Specialities

Your challenge is our progress.

Security testing is a process by which technical methods are used to identify findings that support the broader risk management for your enterprise.

As technology is ever evolving, we must realise too that cyber security is an ongoing process. If your organisation maintains valuable, sometimes sensitive data or systems that are critical to operations, you’ll need to ascertain whether your cyber security efforts and controls are enough to protect these valuable assets. We are geared to help you determine whether these assets are being properly secured. Systems can grow complex over time and these complexities potentially present vulnerabilities and risks of a data breach. Our technical security assessments cover the controls implemented to manage external and internal information security threats.

Our consultants use world-class methodologies such as ISO27001/2, the NIST framework, SANS controls and an array of automated tools to execute these assignments so that we can highlight any issues that might expose your business to cyber risk and suggest corrective actions.
