What is a security audit?

An information security audit is a process of assessing the level of data security within an organization. It involves analyzing threats, policies, procedures, and the technical and organizational measures in place to determine compliance with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard and identify areas that need improvement. It is the first step toward conscious risk management and the creation of a secure working environment.
