WHY UNDERTAKE A CYBER SECURITY AUDIT?
Maintaining IT security is an ongoing battle, so with new viruses and threats emerging all the time, no organisation can afford to be complacent.
But IT security is about much more than simply checking that hardware, software and systems are secure (though this is important). Information from the ICO indicates that as many as 88% of UK data breaches are caused by human error. As such, when it comes to reviewing IT security, organisations need to adopt a holistic approach.
While in-house IT staff will offer a perspective on IT security, they are unlikely to have the experience of working on cyber security for hundreds of companies day-in, day-out.
This is why Akita’s customisable audit service is valuable for examining all the ways that an organisation interacts with its IT.

SOFTWARE AUDITS
Together with our partners, Akita can also offer software audits. As part of this, we can review custom apps, programs and systems from a security point of view and test for weaknesses.
Depending on your requirements, this can include reviewing both the software source code and the hosting/deployment solutions.

Once our assessments are complete, we produce a report outlining findings across all areas. This establishes the severity of the risks uncovered and outlines recommended improvements that need to be made to your systems and processes.
Optional to your needs, Akita can assist with deploying the solutions to your security risks. This may be configuration, hardware or software upgrades, advice on staff training, policies or completion of programs such as Cyber Essentials.
