Previous Article Pagination Next Article Frequently Asked Questions What are the benefits of technology audit services? + Technology audit services help organisations identify and mitigate key technology and IT risks, ensure compliance with industry-specific regulations, enhance cybersecurity posture, and improve overall technology governance and resilience. By engaging trusted IT audit specialists, businesses in Singapore gain independent assurance and practical recommendations to protect enterprise value and meet both local and global regulatory expectations. How can technology audit services help organisations ensure compliance with regulations? + Technology audit services evaluate an organisation’s systems, processes, and controls to ensure compliance with key regulations in Singapore such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Technology Risk Management (TRM) Guidelines, the Cybersecurity Act, and the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) overseen by the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC). By conducting a detailed IT audit, consultants identify compliance gaps and help implement necessary changes, ensuring Singaporean organisations remain in good standing with regulatory authorities while building trust with customers and stakeholders. How can technology audit services help improve an organisation's cybersecurity? + Technology audit services strengthen cybersecurity by identifying vulnerabilities in IT systems, testing the effectiveness of existing security controls, and benchmarking against recognised global frameworks like ISO 27001 and local legislation and guidance such as the Cybersecurity Act, MAS TRM guidelines, and the Singapore Cybersecurity Agency’s (CSA) Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust marks.An IT audit provides Singaporean organisations with actionable insights to improve ransomware preparedness, privileged access management, and incident response, helping to reduce cyber risk exposure and enhance long-term resilience. How do technology audit services assess cloud and enterprise applications? + Technology audit services evaluate cloud migration strategies, shared responsibility models, and enterprise application controls to ensure secure, compliant, and resilient operations. Our IT audit experts test configuration, access rights, and reporting integrity to reduce risks from misconfigurations, data leaks, and third-party dependencies. What role does AI play in technology audit and IT audit functions? + Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming IT audit processes by automating testing, enhancing risk reporting, and improving anomaly detection. However, it also introduces new risks around data governance, bias, and model transparency. Protiviti Singapore helps organisations navigate these challenges through specialised technology audit services that include AI governance reviews, model assurance procedures, and practical recommendations to manage emerging risks while leveraging the benefits of AI. When should organisations consider an independent IT audit of major projects or transformations? + Independent IT audits are critical during cloud migrations, ERP implementations, cybersecurity upgrades, or large-scale digital transformations. Technology audit services provide an objective risk, and controls view across the project lifecycle, helping boards and audit committees ensure investments deliver value without introducing hidden risks.
