Audits differ from security or vulnerability assessments in that assessments measure the security posture of the organization but may do so without any mandated standards to compare them against. In a security assessment, generally agreed-upon security “best practices” may be used, but they may lack the regulatory teeth that standards often provide. A compliance audit is a comprehensive review of an organization’s adherence to regulatory guidelines. Audit reports evaluate the strength and thoroughness of compliance preparations, security policies, user access controls and risk management procedures over the course of the audit procedures. The Security and Audit solution provides a comprehensive view into your organization’s IT security posture and these auditing plans should be implemented regularly into your organization.
