Information system audit

To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and security of your information system is one of top priorities for management in all companies.

Information system audit process is a key step towards reaching that goal.

Information systems audit is a part of the overall audit process, which is one of the facilitators for good corporate governance. While there is no single universal definition of IS audit, it could be defined as "the process of collecting and evaluating evidence to determine whether a computer system (information system) safeguards assets, maintains data integrity, achieves organizational goals effectively and consumes resources efficiently."

Information systems are the lifeblood of any business. Today, computer systems do not merely record business transactions, but actually drive the key business processes of the enterprise. In such a scenario, senior management and business managers do have concerns about information systems. The purpose of IS audit is to review and provide feedback, assurances and suggestions. These concerns can be grouped under four broad heads:

Confidentiality: Will the information in the systems be disclosed only to those who have a need to see and use it and not to anyone else?
   
Integrity: Will the information provided by the systems always be accurate, reliable and timely? What ensures that no unauthorized modification can be made to the data or the software in the systems?

Availability: Will the information systems on which the business is heavily dependent be available for the business at all times when required? Are the systems well protected against all types of losses and disasters?

Compliance: Are we compliant with all applicable laws and regulations? What are the risks if we are not?
