IT and IS Audit
IT and IS Auditing analyses business processes to identify ways of improving performance and efficiency while managing financial and operational risk. The practice also measures compliance with corporate or industry standards. Espion’s IT audit services ensure that appropriate Information Technology and Information Security controls exist in line with leading practice. From policy creation to solution selection assistance, Espion’s approach and methodologies facilitate a risk-based view of the organisations critical information assets.
Evaluation of IT Controls
With increasing reliance on information technology, controls are critical to manage the confidentiality, integrity and reliability of corporate data. Controls help to curb and correct activities that spread problems and errors. Espion works with clients to review the IT controls that regulate IT within their company including availability, change management, user provisioning and security.
IT Policy / Procedure Creation and Review
The development of IT policies and procedures is becoming increasingly important, as companies understand the critical importance of information systems. Espion works with companies to define procedures to be used within their organisation to maintain its security posture. Policies include mechanisms to promote proper computer and network use and data handling procedures for proprietary or sensitive data.
IT Vendor Selection Assistance and Support
The successful completion of any IT project and the perceived ease of its roll out is based to a large degree on the selection and management of vendors. IT vendor selections are complex and lengthy processes that require the collection and analysis of large amounts of information. Espion has years of experience in working with solutions from industry leading vendors, allowing them to help in selecting the best vendor for the project at hand.
