IS Audit

IS Audit

Overview 

  • Corporate Governance  is all about power and responsibility sharing and setting policies, procedures and standards and making sure that entity’s personnel imbibe established corporate ‘Ethic’ as molded by these policies and standards which will give ultimate assurance that entity’s objectives are met.
  • By the same token, the Board or other Top Officers of the company must ensure that IT polices are aligned with corporate polices in other to avoid a state of Strategic Misfit. It is only then that management can have an effective score line for the benefits of IT deployment in organizations/agencies of Government.

As businesses and organizations demand for high-speed information transfer, computer networking provides a level of connectivity and consequently a virtual office which helps to achieve a higher degree of customer satisfaction. However, the bulk of the concerns lie in controlling the basic network infrastructures, as well as meeting the growing need for availability and high performance, especially as computer networks are increasingly handling mission-critical applications. Occasionally, legitimate employees become the “Risk Agents” and pose a higher level of threats to the entity’s Enterprise-Network Environment.
