🔹 Information Security Audit

5 essential aspects to review for a strong cybersecurity posture

1️⃣ Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Limit privileges, use MFA, and regularly review or revoke inactive accounts.

2️⃣ Vulnerability Management and Patch Control

Perform periodic scans, prioritize fixes, and maintain an updated patching cycle.

3️⃣ Data Protection

Classify information, use encryption, DLP solutions, and secure retention policies.

4️⃣ Incident Response and Continuity

Test IR plans, define clear roles, simulate scenarios, and maintain BCP/DR procedures.

5️⃣ Monitoring and Configuration

Use centralized logs, SIEM/EDR systems, hardening policies, and secure baselines.

Strong cybersecurity begins with awareness, control, and continuous improvement.
