Cybersecurity Audit as a Service
Cybersecurity Audit as a Service
Our Cybersecurity Audit as a Service delivers third-party validation as a true third line of independence through subject matter expertise or staff augmentation. We can provide regular analysis, create an Audit plan or develop a strategic 1-, 3-, and 5- year audit plan for a deeper dive into specific Standards. We’ll work with you to customize a solution that fits your security goals and compliance needs.
Why is it important?
Independent audits play a vital role in extending the reach and credibility of internal audit functions. As a true third line of independence, they offer objective validation of controls, informed by deep subject matter expertise. For teams facing bandwidth or capability gaps, they provide targeted support without compromising integrity. Whether through regular analysis or long-term audit planning, they help internal teams scale effectively and deliver meaningful assurance.
How does it work?
We start by understanding your objectives, then tailor a plan that fits—whether it’s a one-time audit, regular analysis, or a strategic 1-, 3-, or 5-year audit roadmap. Through subject matter expertise or staff augmentation, every engagement is designed around your priorities, pace, and internal capabilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Cybersecurity Audit as a Service differ from a Cybersecurity Assessment?
A Cybersecurity Assessment typically supports the first or second line of independence, providing internal teams with insights to improve controls or meet compliance goals. A Cybersecurity Audit as a Service, by contrast, operates as a true third line of independence—reporting separately to provide objective assurance, validate effectiveness, and maintain clear separation from operational or advisory responsibilities. Both are important and should be incorporated into your overall cybersecurity strategy.
How often should I perform a Cybersecurity Audit?
Comprehensive security and regulatory audits should ideally be performed annually, with additional issue-specific or deep-drive audits conducted throughout the year based on your audit plan. The right cadence depends on your risk profile, regulatory requirements, and internal objectives. We’re happy to discuss your specific situation, goals, and timelines to help shape a plan that fits your needs.
What deliverables can I expect from a Cybersecurity Audit?
With a Cybersecurity Audit, you can expect a detailed report with maturity ratings and prioritized recommendations aligned to your objectives. You’ll also receive all audit evidence gathered during the engagement, along with executive summaries, control evaluation results, and documentation suitable for stakeholders, regulators, or external compliance requirements.
What kind of Cybersecurity Audits do you perform?
We perform cybersecurity audits across a range of scopes—such as identity and access, network security, software development practices, and more—customized to your needs. Our subject-matter experts (SME) bring decades of industry experience to deliver third line of independence through deep dives on specific domains or comprehensive audits, all aligned to your objectives, internal audit strategy, and long-term security and compliance goals.
I have a team of cybersecurity auditors, why do I need to hire an outside firm?
Even with a strong internal auditing team, we add value by augmenting your resources, going deeper on specialized topics, and bringing decades of focused industry experience. Most importantly, we offer true third line—providing objective validation and a fresh perspective that internal teams may not be positioned to deliver on their own.
