PROCEDURAL FRAMEWORK FOR CONDUCTING INFORMATION SECURITY AUDITS

Journal Title: International scientific journal Science and Innovation - Year 2025, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the various types of audits that should be undertaken within the scope of an information security audit. Information security auditing represents a fundamental element of an effective cybersecurity management program, serving to identify and mitigate risks, compliance gaps, and system vulnerabilities that may compromise organizational data and operational continuity. A robust audit framework should incorporate multiple evaluation methodologies, including compliance audits, which assess the extent to which an organization conforms to applicable legal, regulatory, and industry-specific standards. The findings of such audits are essential for strengthening organizational resilience and ensuring ongoing adherence to best practices in information security management.
