Audits are hard, and automation doesn’t fix that. Automation can be a really helpful tool in making your audit more manageable, but it doesn’t mean an entire quality audit can be completed through automation. You still need an expert to review and test your controls to determine that they are designed and operating effectively.

Audit Director Kyle Pardue further explains these risks and benefits in the video below:

Starting your first audit can be intimidating. Our first-time audit clients often ask the same question: how does the audit process work? At KirkpatrickPrice, the audit process can be broken down into 5 steps:

1. Kickoff call

Every audit begins with a kickoff call. On this call, we will establish the timeline for the audit along with all audit objectives and expectations.

2. Document collection

After the audit begins, we will collect documents through the Online Audit Manager for your audit team to begin reviewing. This includes policies, procedures, inventories, asset lists, and diagrams.

3. Client visit week

Next, we will conduct an onsite visit at your office. This is one of our favorite weeks of the audit because we get to dive deep into your processes together. This is essential for understanding your environment and the unique controls needed to secure it.

4. Weekly evidence collection sessions

After the onsite visit, we’ll continue collecting evidence in weekly sessions. These sessions last for 4-6 weeks depending on your unique needs and audit type.

5. Report delivery and review process

Your audit will end with an expert report written by our in-house team of Professional Writers. You will be able to review the report and provide feedback before finalizing the report. Once your report is finalized, your audit journey will be complete.

Most audits are started because of a client request. However, we believe an audit will benefit your organization by validating your controls and strengthening your security posture. By engaging with an independent third-party audit firm, you can trust the results of your audit engagement to give you an accurate representation of your security posture so you know if you’re ready to face today’s threats confidently or if you need to spend some time adding more controls to create an even stronger environment.

An audit also allows you to demonstrate and prove your mature security posture to your clients and the marketplace. Having that trustworthy opinion will open new doors of business opportunities and create trust amongst your current clients that you’re doing everything you can to keep their data safe.
