In today's information-driven business environment, organizations must continually evaluate their ability to protect information assets. This includes not only security protocols and development processes but also the continued availability of information to authorized parties. The purpose of an IT audit is to determine how effectively an organization is maintaining these protocols and to provide direction on how to improve. Effective IT audit services help organizations not only improve internal controls and security but also achieve their IT goals and objectives. Protiviti’s IT internal audit services help organizations understand their key technology risks and how well they are mitigating and controlling those risks.
