IDENTIFY IT CONTROLS THAT LACK EFFECTIVENESS
The internal controls should be regularly audited in order to continuously improve your IT security posture. An independent audit of the design and effectiveness of your security controls will eliminate risks and vulnerabilities relating to internal and externals IT security. With Cybernetics’ help, we can identify control weaknesses and security vulnerabilities within your network deployment, management, operational and Information assets.
The audit work plan is flexible and can be adapted according to the organization’s IT risk assessment, related IT policies, examiner comments, and/or management’s instructions. An IT Audit requires analysis of the network, hosts, core applications, and related systems in your organization. The Cybernetics Cybersecurity Advisor makes recommendations to assist the organization in improving its security posture as well as remediate any identified IT control deficiencies.

- Operational security (including managing vulnerabilities, updating patches, and managing change)
- Physical level (e.g. datacenters, destruction of data)
- Incident management (e.g. identification, response Incident reporting, testing)
- Personnel Security (e.g. Background checks, training)
- Network security (e.g. firewall, wireless connectivity, network architecture)
- Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery processes (e.g. impact analysis)
DELIVERABLES
