Frequently Asked Questions

An IT Security Audit is ideal for organisations of all sizes and sectors. Whether you’re a small business seeking basic protection or a larger enterprise with complex IT systems, our audits provide valuable insights to secure your business. Industries that particularly benefit from regular audits include:

  • Manufacturing
  • Public Sector Organisations

Regardless of your industry, if your organisation relies on IT systems to operate, an IT Security Audit is an essential step in ensuring the protection of your data and continuity of your business.

It is recommended to conduct a cyber security audit at least annually to ensure your IT systems are up to date with the latest security practices and to address any emerging threats. However, depending on your industry, regulatory requirements, and the size of your organisation, more frequent audits, such as quarterly or bi-annually, may be necessary. Regular audits ensure continuous protection and help you stay compliant with industry standards like GDPR, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials.

To prepare for an IT security audit, ensure that you have a clear understanding of your IT infrastructure, including network systems, hardware, software, and any security protocols already in place. It’s helpful to gather any documentation related to your security policies, procedures, and compliance measures. Communicating with key stakeholders and staff in advance of the audit can also ensure minimal disruption and allow for smoother access to necessary information.

The length of an IT security audit depends on the size and complexity of your organisation’s IT infrastructure. A standard audit for a small to medium-sized business may take between one to three days, while larger enterprises with complex systems may require a week or longer. After the on-site audit or remote assessment, we provide a report within a few days, including recommendations for improvement.

Our IT security audit process is designed to minimise disruption to your business operations. While we may need access to certain systems and personnel, we work closely with your team to ensure the audit is carried out efficiently and with minimal interference to your day-to-day activities. Any scans or checks are conducted at times that work best for your business to avoid interruptions.

Raising IT security awareness among staff is critical to your overall cyber defence strategy. We recommend regular security awareness training sessions, covering topics like phishing, password security, and safe internet practices. Our security packages include ongoing training programmes designed to keep your team informed about the latest threats and best practices. We also provide phishing simulations and security workshops to ensure your staff are prepared to handle potential cyber risks.
