The value of an independent, objective evaluation of security over private data cannot be underestimated. With a hypersensitive public that expects their information to be kept private, firms have an increasingly more demanding job keeping up with security let alone technology.

The overall objective of an Information Technology (IT) Security Audit is to evaluate the controls over information technology that are in place and make recommendations for improvement. The result and recommendations for an appropriate level of protection over confidential, proprietary, or important data is provided.
