Cyber Security Audit Services

Quantify risks within your IT systems and operations with ToraGuard’s cyber security expertise.

Cyber security is complex, and, with a range of diverse threats and risks, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Businesses need a multi-layered, bespoke cyber security strategy to mitigate risk and protect against the growing threat of IT and data breaches, fraud, attacks and compliance issues.

One problem many businesses face is how to know if their existing cyber security measures are effective, up-to-date and free of gaps.

ToraGuard’s comprehensive cyber security audit services meticulously uncover vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, ensuring your systems are robust against evolving threats. These are then qualified against the risks they pose to your systems.

What Is A Cyber Security Audit?

A cyber security audit helps identify and address issues that result in reputation-damaging data breaches, costly compliance violations or other significant cyber incidents.

As a specialist cyber security audit company, ToraGuard undertakes thorough testing and auditing to identify vulnerabilities, existing threats, areas of weakness or any risky practices that may be built into operations.

We then recommend and implement security upgrades and system enhancements to shut down these security weak spots, offering improved yet cost-effective support.

How Does A Cyber Security Audit Work?

Our experienced cyber security audit team carries out complete evaluations of existing networks, programs and devices. These controlled tests are measured against established internal baselines, industry standards and best practices to assess whether systems are secure and up to the challenge of existing and emerging threats.

Just like cyber security itself, there is no one definitive approach to an audit. It’s all about working out which measures work in combination to provide the best protection depending on the size and nature of the business. The audit process will test the strength of these combined defences.

The Benefits Of Cyber Security Audit Services

There are many benefits of cyber audits in the UK, not least in avoiding penalties and fines relating to violations of regulations and compliance concerning data. This specifically includes the Data Protection Act of 2018 (the UK’s implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR). However, the advantages of cyber security audits go far above and beyond just meeting compliance.

An audit is one of the key tools for proactively identifying security vulnerabilities. This means not just waiting for breaches to happen before fixing them, but actively seeking them out and solidifying them, which is far more cost-effective in the long run. A cyber security audit keeps sensitive data secure, improves systems and processes and maintains security and risk baselines.

Furthermore, bolstering security and control mechanisms provides a solid foundation for building more robust policies and procedures. It helps businesses be more prepared should an incident happen through training and education, ensuring all staff are on board with security procedures. And, crucially, it reinforces trust and credibility with clients, staff and other stakeholders.
