IT AND SECURITY AUDIT

“Our staff felt like they were heard in the discovery interviews. The final IT Audit Report helped us understand in simple terms what we could do to fix the issues. We are in the process of making these changes and our staff are happy with the progress.”

-Stephen Gerrand, Hilliers

Cloud Stratagem offers both IT audits and Security audits as two separate undertakings. We engage in the discovery of our clients’ technology that we document and analyse thoroughly. We then create a detailed report discussing the current IT or security environment and offer recommendations.

IT AND SECURITY AUDIT

Discovery

Our team comes onsite for a period of discovery, documenting the relevant information and creating the initial report. We use automated tools to interrogate all workstations and servers to detail the report. Using this information, we create an exact blueprint of a client’s entire IT and network infrastructure.

Analysis

The initial discovery serves as the primary data for the analysis. The analysis points out gaps in either IT systems, processes or security functions that are documented in the final report. We recommend options to move forward. Regarding security, we specifically carry out vulnerability and penetration testing to highlight potential weaknesses in a client’s security infrastructure. Cloud Stratagem analyses clients’ existing security and implements industry best practice. We keep our clients informed of any other potential threats.

Recommendations

For recommendations, we triage a client’s computer systems and applications to identify the priorities to be addressed. We present the best in class applications to address the business’ major weaknesses. In the final report, recommendations result from the initial analysis and final triage.
