Information Security Governance Audit
Your policies are written, your risk assessment is done, and your vendors are on file. But is your program holding up, and would it stand up to an examiner or auditor? An ISGA gives you an independent answer without the cost of a full technical audit.
Independent Review, Stronger Oversight
The audit looks at how your information security program is run: your policies, risk assessment, vendor oversight, business continuity planning, training, and how leadership stays involved. We compare what’s documented against what’s expected and show you where the gaps are.
You get clear priorities, not a pile of findings. We point out what needs attention first, so your team can fix the issues that matter before an exam or outside audit finds them. The review is done remotely, so there’s little disruption to your staff. If you want technical testing as well, the IT Audit and Vulnerability Assessment covers everything in this audit and more.
Service Features
An Information Security Governance Audit is a policy and procedure review of your information security program. It does not include technical testing, which makes it a good fit if you already test your technology separately or want to start with governance. Our auditors hold the CISA and CISSP certifications, and we never subcontract the work.
