ANTIDOTE TO AUDIT
By Amanda Daly
IT audits are grueling. So, when the CIO’s and CTO’s find out that it is time for their IT Audit, a sudden chaos wreaks havoc in the office.
As a CIO or a CTO, ask yourself these questions before the audit
- Do we have complete Asset Inventory in one place?
- Is the right software being run on each machine?
- Are your devices being monitored?
- Are they scanned for vulnerabilities and to see if end of life is approaching?
- Are patches automatically being deployed?
At this stage, companies are either stopping or delaying current projects and diverting their workforce and or outsourcing for this audit because they have to cross check between spreadsheets. And when gaps have been identified within the existing IT estates, leaders are then putting makeshift patches in place, exceptions are written for end-of-life hardware, maintenance renewals must be expedited, leaving the company vulnerable; just to pass the audit.
Far too often we are seeing that companies are spending time and money cross checking data between multiple platforms, gathering important documents from their service providers, collecting data on their silos, network, security, servers, cloud, end points, and so much more.
