Cybersecurity Audit Checklist

IT security auditing can become a complex activity, sometimes with hundreds of items that need to be reviewed. It requires knowledgeable security experts such as Microminder, who will perform it systematically and provide comprehensive cybersecurity audit services.

We use a personalised cybersecurity checklist that will include some key steps, including:

Your organisation should use cybersecurity policies to outline the rules and regulations to be followed when handling sensitive data. These policies will help us rank the sensitivity of your assets and determine how secure they are. We also look at the following:

We check who has access to your information and data – the information should be easily accessible, but only to authorised personnel.

We check what measures or controls have been implemented to protect data from malicious activities.

Is your data sufficiently protected from unauthorised access or misuse? Microminder will ensure it is after we audit your cybersecurity systems.

Before auditing cybersecurity, your organisation will need to consolidate all of its cybersecurity policies. These should be documented to provide our expert cybersecurity auditors with enough information to understand your security posture better.

Some of the security policies your organisation should ideally provide to our team includes:

This document stipulates the constraints users must adhere to when accessing your organisation’s corporate network, internet or other company resources. Users must usually agree to the terms of use before granting network access.

This policy contains set rules that prevent unauthorised physical or remote access to sensitive company data. It defines the specific conditions under which access to data may take place.

This policy ensures that changes to your organisation’s IT systems or networks do not affect business continuity. It is also a way to ensure that the relevant stakeholders have approved all changes.

IR policies comprise six steps that outline your organisation’s response to a security incident. These include:

Preparation and precautions taken
Identification of intrusion
Containment of threat or breach
Eradication or elimination of the threat
Recovery and restoration of software
Feedback, review and refinement

This policy outlines the rules for remote users who access the company network. It will include details of what is expected from the user before, during, and after they access your organisation’s data. It also includes exceptions and disciplinary actions in the case of violations.

This is a set of procedures that details the use of emails and other electronic communication tools within your network.

Your organisation’s IT team should provide a detailed network diagram to Microminder’s tech team to help us understand your infrastructure. This diagram can either be logical or physical.

A logical diagram shows how data flows through your networks. It includes your network’s elements, such as domains, subnets, routers and network segments.
A physical network diagram shows the physical hardware of your IT systems, including ports, servers and cables.

Collate all privacy laws and regulations that govern your business for our auditors to use during the information security audit. You will need to provide details of each requirement and the steps your organisation has taken to fulfil them.

Your security team is best placed to help our team fully understand your company’s infrastructure and the security measures and controls you have implemented. Therefore, we will require a complete list of all security personnel and details of their roles and responsibilities if we need to consult with them.
