Global Secure Systems - Seucrity Audit

A computer security audit is a process that can verify that certain standards have been met, and identify areas in need of remediation or improvement. Decades ago, identifying problem areas had to be done by a team of human auditors, but now software can analyse what's on a computer, and present a story that you do not need to be an expert to comprehend. It is important to use software that stays current with rapidly evolving security threats. Software cannot resolve the whole problem. Computer Users need to evaluate the reports, make changes to correct the problems, then rerun the reports. When success is achieved in resolving all the identified problems, we can raise the bar on the standards we are trying to achieve.

Computer security audits go beyond information technology audits, which audit what is on the computer system and how it is being used, to verify programs are working as intended, and the data is reliable, to also verify that none of the data is being tampered with, or can be tampered with, to show incorrect results.
