How would I begin a security audit for my business?

Review your applicable compliance standards: confirm if your business is required to meet PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, or similar compliance guidelines.

Review your organization’s current information security policies: don’t have any? We can help!

Review your current inventory list: determine everything connected to your network, from routers, switches, laptops, desktop PCs, and printers to security systems or HVAC systems that might be connected and a source for a potential breach. It is also important to document the operating system and all application software installed on each device.

Start to consider the scope you would like to cover, the acceptable levels of risk you would like to allow, and which employees that you would like to have complete technical interviews as part of the cybersecurity audit process.
