Incident Response and Cyber Resilience Auditing

The Cybersecurity Audit Masterclass training course begins with the foundations of cybersecurity auditing, covering the threat environment, core audit principles, governance arrangements and the principal frameworks used to assess security controls. It then progresses to risk-based audit planning, including the identification of assets, threats and vulnerabilities, the assessment and prioritisation of cybersecurity risks, and the definition of audit objectives and scope. Attention is also given to reviewing policies, responsibilities and the wider control environment.

The agenda subsequently moves into the audit of technical and operational controls, including access management, network and system security, data protection, vulnerability management, monitoring and incident response arrangements. It also addresses compliance considerations, third-party and cloud-related risks, business continuity and disaster recovery controls. The concluding topics cover the collection and evaluation of audit evidence, the communication of findings, the preparation of clear audit reports and recommendations, and the follow-up of agreed actions to assess how identified issues have been addressed.
