What Is an IT Infrastructure Audit?
杰克: 嗨,伙计们. Jack 在这里 from Park Place and it’s time for Ask The Engineer. Joining me today is Director of Product Operations, 约旦麦克弗森. 乔丹，最近怎么样?
乔丹: I’m living the dream, Jack.
杰克: 我们不都是吗? Jordan, today’s question is concerning IT auditing to kick things off. 什么是IT审计? Now this can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people, but how would you perceive it?
内部和. 外部IT审计
乔丹: Yeah, I think that it starts with the idea of we’re trying to inspect what we expect, right? So that can either, be: do we have these things, or are we actually doing these processes? So whether that’s an inventory or a proof point. The other thing to keep in mind is t在这里’s internal and external audits. So, some are done for different reasons.
When to Consider an IT Infra Audit
杰克: 是的,绝对. And when should one consider getting an IT audit?
乔丹: So I think that’s going to be driven by compliance and what’s required. Every business is different. When we think about internal IT infrastructure audits these are really going to be around IT maturity and and process improvement optimization. As you get into the external IT audits, those are going to be things for either third-party certificate or a regulatory requirements.
In the case of a third-party certificate you’re looking to prove you do things the right way so that 客户 can trust that you know you’re secure. Especially in this day and age, it’s really important for the regulatory IT auditing. It it’s things like HIPAA, PCI w在这里 you have a statute or something that dictates you must be compliant. And so that’s w在这里 the auditors will come in and and check you out from a frequency standpoint. Again, that’s going to depend on what you’re trying to accomplish. Some things you’re going to want to do monthly, others annually.
杰克: 是的，是的，绝对的. 很有道理. What is interesting is the different dynamics with internal and external audits t在这里 as well. Hopefully that should help some of those who are considering undertaking an IT infra audit. If you’d like to suggest a question to one of our engineers, please feel free to reach out to us!
