Businesses are increasingly dependent on a number of IT and other related communication technologies and systems for effective and efficient operations. This creates opportunities for optimal use of the vast quantities of data that resides in such systems but also creates threats in relation to security. Our IT assurance and analytics team can help you manage both.
IT Risk Advisory Services
Our IT assurance procedures provide you with the comfort that your technology solutions are sound from a security perspective. We document, assess and benchmark your organisation’s IT security policies and its general and application level control environment including performing various tests on such policies and controls highlighting the IT risks your organisation faces, the effectiveness of its policies and controls (general as well as application level) and its vulnerabilities. We provide meaningful insights into how identified risks and vulnerabilities can be mitigated.
We also provide enterprise risk management and internal controls optimisation advisory services based on globally accepted best practices and methodologies.
Data Analytics
Using globally recognised solutions, we develop customised analytics routines (which comprise data quality, data interrogation and data visualisation routines) and run these on your organisation's databases to generate often very insightful results which can be used not only for assurance but also in strategic business management.
