The systematic audit of IT systems, processes, and controls.
An IT audit assesses whether a company's IT is operated securely, properly, and effectively. It examines systems, processes, access rights, and controls — either internally, by the client, or by independent auditors. The findings feed into reports such as ISAE 3402 or IDW PS 951, or serve as preparation for certifications. In regulated industries, clients and supervisory authorities often have contractually guaranteed audit rights over their service providers.
For service providers, IT audits are present on two fronts: clients ask in advance about audit rights and audit results, and they actually conduct audits. Both consume time and frequently affect the same individuals who are required to provide evidence and responses. The topics covered overlap significantly with security questionnaires and control documentation. Those who keep audit documents and standard responses structured and readily available will pass audits more quickly and with less effort.
With Tendry, you keep audit evidence and standard responses centrally accessible and handle both preliminary audit inquiries and ongoing audits from a single verified source. This turns the IT audit from a project into a routine.
