Information Security Audit

Many companies are required by law or by their own business needs to perform vendor oversight to ensure adequate information security and data protection controls are in place. And that the information security controls are operating effectively to protect customer and employee personal information and company trade secrets. Are you concerned about implementing best privacy and information security practices with your vendors? Do you have the resources and experience in your company to perform an information security audit in a timely fashion?

The Information Security Audit from Accelerance gives you a snapshot of your vendor’s data protection programs. The Information Security Audit measures your vendor’s information security maturity level against U.S. financial industry guidelines so you can have an accurate understanding of how well your data is being protected.

The Information Security Audit gives you a measurable assessment of how your outsourcing vendors protect your data. You can use this snapshot to demonstrate regulatory compliance, contractual compliance, or to show best information security practices.

Accelerance consultants are certified information privacy professionals (CIPP and CIPP/IT) and use a three-step process in delivering its Information Security Audit. Accelerance consultants will:

1. Inquire - Issue a detailed and proprietary BITS-based questionnaire to your vendors to complete and return.
2. Verify - Conduct on-site visits to verify the responses to the questionnaire and to identify other gap areas not mentioned by the vendors.
3. Report - Draft and deliver to you a final report that identifies areas of strengths and weaknesses as measured against the BITS framework. The vendors are graded for risk level, and remediation items and steps are identified.
