Internal Audit & Controls

Whether you’re a small business, a mid-sized operation, a pre-IPO organization, or a publicly traded entity, audits and reviews are beneficial to your organization. Audits can oftentimes feel burdensome or repetitive so we tailor the scope of technical audits to add value to your organization.

Why audit? Oftentimes it’s required if you’re an organization of a certain size, industry, or are publicly traded. But generally, it is best practice to get your organization in the habit of checking and reviewing the work being performed to prevent any unforeseen issues down the road.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I wonder if this system access is truly locked down to where only those necessary can see this data?” or “I swear I asked someone to make a change, but did it actually make its way through the process?”

Audits or reviews will provide you a general wellness check on basic processes. They don’t have to be painful or scary and more often than not, you’ll be thankful that you found a potential technical issue or process breakdown before it caused a larger impact to the organization.

Below is a list of a few ideas for technical audits we can perform. Any process or system within your business can be scoped for an audit, but the examples below are more high level/holistic.
