The ever-increasing reliance on technology and the rate at which those technologies change make the inclusion of IT Audit essential to an effective overall Information Security Program. The SBS IT Audit is risk-based and tailored to the size and complexity of each individual organization, providing a personalized experience from start to finish. It is based on industry best practices and features the following:

  • Virtual and onsite options available. 
  • Focuses on how management determines the organization's cybersecurity risk exposure and how the risk is controlled or mitigated.
  • Considers FFIEC Work Programs and current FILs for financial institutions.
  • Covers governance, network cybersecurity, risk management, virtualization, ATM operations, identity theft/red flags, asset management, emergency preparedness, vendor management, electronic banking, and wireless networks

  • Promotes the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information systems.
  • Determines the effectiveness of management’s planning and oversight of IT activities.

  • Determines the adequacy of enterprise-wide compliance efforts related to IT policies and internal control procedures.
  • Recommends appropriate corrective action to address deficient internal controls. In many cases, we will provide management with examples or instructions to help resolve the recommendation.
  • Comes with the TRAC™ Action Tracking module to assist institutions in automating their recommendation tracking.
