Previous Article Pagination Next Article Frequently asked questions What are the benefits of technology audit services? + Technology audit services help organisations identify and manage IT and technology risks, strengthen cybersecurity, and improve overall technology governance and resilience. Independent technology audits provide objective assurance and practical recommendations that help protect enterprise value, support confident decision-making, and ensure technology environments operate effectively. How can technology audit services help organisations ensure compliance with regulations? + Technology audit services review systems, processes, and controls to assess how well organisations meet compliance expectations and internal standards. By identifying gaps and areas for improvement, audits help organisations strengthen controls, embed compliance into daily operations, and build trust with stakeholders. How can technology audit services help improve an organisation's cybersecurity? + Technology audit services improve cybersecurity by identifying vulnerabilities, testing the effectiveness of existing security controls, and providing clear, actionable recommendations. Audits support improvements in areas such as access management, incident response, and resilience to cyber threats, helping organisations reduce risk and strengthen long-term security. How do technology audit services assess cloud and enterprise applications? + Technology audit services evaluate cloud strategies, shared responsibility models, and enterprise application controls to ensure secure and reliable operations. Reviews typically include configuration settings, user access rights, and reporting processes, helping organisations reduce risks related to misconfigurations, data exposure, and third-party dependencies. What role does AI play in technology audit and IT audit functions? + Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming technology audits by automating testing, enhancing anomaly detection, and improving the depth of risk analysis. At the same time, AI introduces new challenges related to governance and transparency. Technology audit services help organisations address these challenges through AI governance reviews, assurance activities, and practical guidance that enable responsible and effective use of AI. When should organisations consider an independent IT audit of major projects or transformations? + Independent IT audits are especially valuable during cloud migrations, ERP implementations, cybersecurity initiatives, and large-scale digital transformations. Technology audit services provide boards and audit committees with an objective view of risks and controls across the project lifecycle, helping ensure technology investments deliver value without introducing hidden risks.
