CAID Consulting Information Systems “Due Diligence” Auditing
One of the fastest growing trends in the Information Technology sector is that of an Information Systems Audit. These audits are undertaken most commonly as part of a “Due Diligence” process, performed when for legal, contractual or financial reasons, an organization needs a big picture of their IT systems.
At CAID Consulting, this big picture is based on what we have called the 6 pillars of Information Systems auditing:
1. Hardware
2. Software
3. Network
4. IT Policy
5. Third Party Support
6. IT Budgeting
Using proprietary software, developed for the sole use of our auditors, as well as through interviews, research and on-site inspection, CAID Consulting will thoroughly gather all the information needed to build a comprehensive portrait of your IT System. This information is compiled into a document and combined with professional evaluation, identifying both areas where your IT System meets or exceeds accepted IT standards, as well as areas for improvement. Our service doesn’t stop there either. Additionally, recommendations can be added and service plans implemented, in consultation with CAID professionals, to bring areas of concern up to the level you want for your business.
Whether you are looking to sell your business, expand, or you just want to improve the efficiency of your current systems, an Information Systems Due Diligence Audit can give you the information you want to make the decisions you need. Benefits of a CAID Consulting Information Systems audit are as follows:
