What is IT Audit & Advisory?

IT Audit and Advisory is a strategic service designed to evaluate and strengthen your organization’s digital integrity and regulatory posture. The primary objective is to identify systemic risks, ensure robust data governance, and verify that your IT infrastructure aligns with global security standards and business objectives.

This process involves a rigorous assessment of your internal controls, a deep dive into compliance requirements (such as SOC2, ISO, or HIPAA), and the development of actionable roadmaps to bridge gaps between your current IT operations and industry best practices.
