Policies and actual system settings that no longer agree.
Security Audits
Review whether documented controls are implemented and evidenced in the systems that matter. Scope and criteria are agreed before work begins; an audit does not itself confer certification.
Focus area
Agree the control framework and evidence scope
Focus area
Inspect policies, configurations, and operational records
Focus area
Identify gaps and accountable owners
Primary output
Evidence inventory
Organizations seeking evidence of how controls operate
For system owners preparing to review internal security controls, customer requirements, or the evidence supporting a defined control framework.
- Evidence inventory
- Gap report
- Corrective action plan
Problems to address
Missing evidence, unclear control ownership, or inconsistent remediation records.
Sensitive evidence should have limited access and an agreed retention period. This service description does not assert accreditation or the authority to issue a certification.
How We Work
- 01
Scope & Authorization
Agree review criteria, scope, evidence handling, and accountable control owners.
- 02
Architecture & Evidence
Compare relevant policies, configurations, and operational records with those criteria.
- 03
Assessment & Findings
Collect and assess evidence against agreed control criteria, without implying certification.
- 04
Remediation & Verification
Trace sampled controls to configuration, records, and responsible staff; record evidence limitations.
- 05
Handover & Follow-up
Deliver a gap register with corrective actions, owners, and follow-up evidence requirements.
Technologies We Master
Candidate technologies and tools for security audits. The final selection follows discovery, existing systems, and agreed operating requirements.
- OWASP ASVSReview criteria
- OWASP ZAPApplication testing
- SemgrepCode analysis
- Dependency scanningSupply chain

Frequently asked questions
Will an audit make us certified?
No. Certification depends on a specific scheme and authorized assessor. A scoped control review can help identify gaps but cannot replace that process.
What evidence should we prepare?
Relevant policies, control owners, system inventories, access reviews, and operational records are useful starting points. The final request follows the agreed audit criteria.
