IT Security Compliance regulations and guidelines (GLBA, NCUA, FFIEC, HIPAA, etc.) require an organization to conduct independent audits of its Information Security Program. An IT Security Audit will compare the organization’s current security controls to the standards established by the FFIEC or Best Practices based on international standards such as ISO 27001, COBIT 4, etc. The process includes procedures to collect and examine data and practices which impact the effectiveness of the security program, and to help identify deficiency causes. Additionally, the examination process includes the ability to archive support data used to support audit conclusions with clear audit trails.
The TraceSecurity IT Security Audit process will help the organization evaluate the utility of and adherence to your organization's Information Security Policy controls. The entire Audit process is managed through the TraceSecurity IT Audit Manager that automates the process and provides a foundation for future IT Security Audits.

Because organizations are constantly evolving, the IT Security Audit should be a continuous process. However, using third-party vendors to perform the necessary audits may not fit within the organization’s budget. The organization may turn to its own personnel to keep its IT Audit up-to-date, but this approach usually puts a strain on key personnel’s time.
