SAFEGUARD YOUR SENSITIVE DATA AND SYSTEMS

Doing an IT Audit may end up being the best upgrade you have ever done and the cheapest by a mile. Of course, no one thinks about security as their top priority when they start with their business ideas.

But over time, as you start to store sensitive customer data and start to build complex systems you start to get the idea how important cybersecurity is. It can literally make or break a startup, or any business for that matter. 

At OSHARA, we have a over a decade of experience with cybersecurity and running all kinds of security tests and upgrades. The best way is to start with a comprehensive IT Audit and do it web-wide and spot all the vulnerabilities on which we can work fixing them later.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

An IT audit is a detailed check of an organization’s technology systems and processes. It looks at how well hardware, software, and data management are working and whether they follow company rules and legal requirements. The goal is to find and fix problems to make sure everything runs smoothly and securely. Regular IT audits help protect against security threats, keep data safe, and improve how technology supports the business by spotting and addressing issues before they become bigger problems.

 

An IT audit is crucial for cybersecurity because it helps identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities in an organization’s technology systems. By thoroughly reviewing hardware, software, and data management practices, an audit uncovers potential security gaps that could be exploited by attackers. This proactive approach allows us to address issues before they lead to security breaches, ensuring that our IT infrastructure remains resilient against threats.

Additionally, an IT audit ensures compliance with industry regulations and internal policies, which often include specific cybersecurity requirements. Meeting these standards not only helps avoid legal penalties but also enhances our overall security posture. Regular audits provide ongoing assurance that our cybersecurity measures are effective and up-to-date, supporting long-term protection and data integrity.

 

IT audits should generally be conducted annually to ensure ongoing effectiveness and compliance. However, the frequency may vary based on factors such as industry regulations, the size of the organization, and changes in the IT environment. Significant changes, such as updates to systems or new regulatory requirements, may also necessitate more frequent audits. Regular audits help identify and address vulnerabilities promptly, maintaining robust security and operational efficiency.

Common cybersecurity threats identified during an IT audit include issues that can jeopardize data and system integrity. These threats often involve security weaknesses that can be exploited by malicious actors to compromise sensitive information or disrupt operations.

  • Phishing Attacks: Fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information.
  • Malware: Malicious software designed to damage or disrupt systems.
  • Unauthorized Access: Attempts to gain access to restricted data or systems.
  • Data Breaches: Unauthorized access or disclosure of sensitive information.
  • Software Vulnerabilities: Weaknesses in applications that can be exploited.
