Information System Audit is the evaluation, verification and rectification of the information system or mechanism, operations and practices of the business entity to ascertain and amend any mistake, information leak, duplication and blockages. Information system audit can be manual or computerized depending upon the need and requirement of the business entity.
In order to switch from manual to automated information processes it is mandatory for the firm to have a Post Migration Audit Certificate.
Information system audit was earlier known as Electronic Data Processing (EDP) audit. It is also called Automated Data Processing (ADP) audit and Information Technology (IT) audit. The main objective of IS Audit is to improve the accuracy, security and relevance of the data.
An information technology (IT) audit or information systems (IS) audit is an examination of the controls within an entity’s Information technology infrastructure.
The scope of IT audit depends on the nature and size of the business. Ideally, it encompasses all the IT resources, including hardware, software, networking, plans, policies, procedures, and systems. IS Audit is generally performed on a yearly basis.
During the course of an information system audit, we test physical security controls and then go on to test logical security controls, network security, disaster recovery procedures, and business continuity plans. We then undertake data integrity assessment, assessment of controls over network, database, applications, and IT infrastructure. We review the IT strategy, organizational structure, and IT service process, including support function, service management, etc.
