IT Security Audit

Avoid Falling Victim to a Cyber Attack !

What is the purpose of an IT security audit?

In the digital age, the importance of IT security has never been greater. In a hyper-connected economy, ongoing digital transformation has led to organizations becoming increasingly dependent on their information systems.

The objective of an IT security audit is to mitigate risks and minimize their impact on the operations and core activities of organizations through proactive and regular evaluation of risk management processes. In a world where cyber threats evolve daily, an IT security audit helps anticipate and address potential vulnerabilities.

An IT Security Audit helps to prevent :

Data breaches of your own and your customers’ data.
Hacking of your computers.
Potential penalties for non-compliance with GDPR (such as limitations or suspensions of data processing, fines ranging from 2% to 4% of worldwide consolidated revenue).

What risks does my company face ?

Fraudulent intrusions into information systems and their consequences (data theft, fund misappropriation, website blockages, etc.) pose a real danger to companies of all sizes. More than one-third of companies with fewer than 250 employees have reportedly fallen victim to cyber-attacks. 80% of them still lack an effective information security system.

In the face of increasingly inventive cybercrime, protecting digital data has become an absolute necessity and a national imperative as cyber warfare and cyber espionage intensify. IT security audit is no longer an option. It is crucial for the protection of your business.

How can I prevent a cyber-attack and fully secure my computer system ?

There are several solutions available. ACTECIL, an expert in IT security audits, recommends three solutions. Of course, the suitability of each solution may vary based on your industry, company size, and internal organization.

1. GDPR Diagnostic: This solution includes an audit and coaching. It involves a thorough analysis to assess your compliance or non-compliance with GDPR regulations. In addition to providing an overview of your current situation, the GDPR expert will offer an action plan to help you achieve the expected level of GDPR maturity.

2. GDPR IT Security Audit: This audit verifies the security of your systems using real-life scenarios. It may involve vulnerability detection, searching for potential data breaches, attempting to bypass security measures, injecting or modifying content, and analyzing access resistance.

3. GDPR Software: Actecil provides clients with several software solutions for GDPR compliance assistance and management. These dedicated platforms are designed to handle your data management and can be used by your internal or external GDPR expert or Data Protection Officer (DPO). They enable you to manage your GDPR compliance autonomously.

The word of a cyber security expert

Jayson BRUHAMMER

Expert Insights in Cybersecurity

“The most challenging yet thrilling part is conducting penetration tests, acquiring knowledge in sometimes lesser-known technologies, and designing plausible scenarios to test security in real-world situations. To ensure projects are securely designed and executed, a deep understanding of defense mechanisms is crucial. One must be able to put themselves in the shoes of both the attacker and the victim.

Cybersecurity demands specific skills and versatility, as it encompasses a vast field with some aspects that can be difficult to grasp and communicate, especially for those unfamiliar with it.

Users often overlook the fact that their behavior is just as important as selecting the right tools or managing digital projects since everything is interconnected. Malicious actors target any vulnerability to achieve their objectives.”
