Importance of  Business Continuity Audit Subscription

Having a Business Continuity Audit subscription enables organisations to perform multiple audits (during their active subscription) which will bolster their Business continuity management efforts. Business Continuity self-audit will give the organisation an insight into their maturity, provide feedback as to what is working in the plan and what needs improvement.  A comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP) audit provides objective feedback that can improve a business continuity plan with actionable changes and updates.

For a successful Business Continuity Plan Audit we need:

• Audit team, consisting of internal staff or external consultants that can be supported by our self-audit tool. If the team members involved are familiar with the business continuity process the results will be more accurate
• Documentation, Business impact analysis, risk assessments and established business continuity/disaster recovery/incident response plans provide integral audit information
• Guidance, Standards and general industry best practices can guide your audit to ensure that all of your bases are covered and your business continuity plan meets all the requirements for your organisation
• Interviews, Conducting interviews with staff familiar with the business continuity process can add significant insights to an audit.
• Actionable results, Once your audit is complete, your findings should provide you with the next steps for improving your business continuity plan an getting ready for your next audit.

In terms of responding to ICT risks, according to LIFARS, the importance of IT audits subscription includes two levels. Firstly to prevent risks: IT audits can help companies identify and prevent risks in the IT systems that support the business. Certainly, it helps companies audit IT systems to avoid possible risks from external compliance.

Secondly an information technology audit, or information systems audit, is an examination of the management controls within an Information technology (IT) infrastructure. However the evaluation of obtained evidence determines if the information systems are safeguarding assets, maintaining data integrity. Consequently it also provides an indication if they are operating effectively to achieve the organisation’s goals or objectives.
