Audit in a Day
Purpose of of the Audit in a Day is to review your IT risks. We investigate the practicaility of your disaster proof plan and information security.
Disaster Planning
According to a recent study conducted by the University of Southern Queensland's Centre for Australian Financial Institutions (CAFI) and Fuji Xerox, more than 30% of Australian banks are unprepared for a significant disruption to their IT systems. In addition, UK-based Dynamic Markets conducted a survey revealed that 97% of businesses surveyed in EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) would be unable to continue normal operations following a data centre fire.
Disasters do not only arrive in the form of earthquakes, cyclones or tsunamis. Fire or flood can occur within any building at any time.
The only way to ensure you are protected from unforseen events is to disaster-proof your IT system in advance.
Disaster Recovery Planning ensures the continuing of an IT service after a disaster has occurred. We can advise you if you need two or more information sites. Or perhaps you may need a replica IT system that initiates whenever the primary site faces a disaster.
Do you have a Disaster Recovery Plan in place and do you know whether it is sufficient and will work when needed?
Security
Information security is essential to protecting information and information systems from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.
A recent survey of 538 security professionals in U.S. corporations conducted by the Computer Security Institute and the FBI's Computer Intrusion Squad reported that 85% had experienced breaches, while 64% reported financial losses over the past six months.
There is no question, Government Bodies, Financial Institutions, and Private Businesses, hold a great deal of confidential information about their clients, employees, products, research, and financial status. This information is collected, processed and stored on electronic computers and transmitted across networks. Should confidential information about an individual or a new product fall into the hands of a competitor or unauthorised person, such a breach of security could lead to lost business, legal proceedings or even bankruptcy.
Protecting confidential information is a business, ethical and legal requirement.
Risks to your IT security come in many forms – computer viruses, hackers and even internal disgruntled employees. It is therefore important that your systems are protected against all eventualities to avoid costly security breaches. Is your system completely secured?
Before considering a software solution, organisations and businesses must first have Risk Management Processes and Frameworks defined. The best technology solutions will not give a successful result if these key components do not first exist.
Do you have a Risk Management Process defined?
The Review – What’s Involved?
A formal process is critical for developing a sustainable methodology that enables risks to be identified and measured.
e-Sentinel provides a one-day review of your IT systems to measure your system’s security and its level of disaster assurance. How...
Firstly, we review the design of your system and architecture documents for business continuity in the event of a disaster. We also assess your systems directories, frameworks, database credit care security, and are aligning them with best practice ie Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (CobiT), International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO 27002) Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), Payment Card Information Data Security Standard (PCIDS), plus others and provide a report on your vulnerability.
We help you set strategies that are aligned with your business goals and support your overall business objectives. We advise you on how to build a better business IT structure that ensures your business survival, and protects you against financial and legal risks.
For small to medium enterprises an audit review starts with an intensive one day review. This will provide you with a snapshot understanding of your organisation IT risks. For larger organisations and due to time restraints the one-day review is limited to a single aspect of the IT system.
