People often ask: is an internal audit necessary? What if we’re a smaller organization, should we be spending our already limited resources on an internal audit program?
If your clients depend on you to provide efficient, compliant, and secure services, then the answer is a resounding “yes”.
Internal auditing is an important function of any information security and compliance program and is a valuable tool for effectively and appropriately managing risk. Are we ensuring we are doing what we say we’re doing? Are there gaps in our policies and procedures? Are there any areas for improvement? Are we meeting our compliance goals? These important questions are addressed through internal auditing.
