Security Auditing Services

A security audit is essentially a systematic evaluation of how effectively an organization’s security policy is being implemented, measured against established criteria. Of course, this assumes that the organization has a security policy in place which, unfortunately, is not always the case. Even today, it is possible to find a number of organizations where a written security policy does not exist. Security policies are a means of standardizing security practices by having them codified in writing. Staff should be aware of the security practices in place so they are understood and practiced by all. In some cases these are signed of by staff as having been read and understood.
