Digital threats are part of the development landscape, so how should you audit your software supply chain security to ensure you protect your pipeline? This blog will take you through the threats that are lurking and the steps you can follow to guard against them.

Most organizations (if not all) have needs related to IT audits to stay protected and compliant with industry standards. As a result, they can benefit from fit-for-purpose IT audit software. These tools automate the auditing process, streamlining data collection, analysis, and reporting, thereby increasing efficiency and accuracy while reducing manual effort and human error.

In the modern world, few things are as important for a business as its website. That's because websites are the main interface through which customers tend to interact with your brand and the main location at which customers make orders. For other types of business, websites are the primary point of communication between clients and employees. That huge level of importance brings with it a huge sense of vulnerability.

A compliance audit systematically examines an organization’s adherence to established rules, regulations, and standards governing its industry or sector. This rigorous process is designed to evaluate whether the company’s operations, policies, and procedures align with legal requirements, industry standards, and internal protocols.

Is your organization looking to up its IT audit game? Conducting it successfully will help you ensure that your IT systems and processes are secure, they comply with relevant regulations and standards, and are aligned with your overall goals and objectives.

ISO 27001 audits are not just a bureaucratic procedure that you want to quickly get over with and forget. On the contrary, they can be a very important tool to make sure your organization is protected. They objectively evaluate the Information Security Management System (ISMS), help identify potential vulnerabilities, improve security measures, and ensure and showcase compliance with international standards.

Preparing for a software audit can be a time-consuming and painful process where a lot of information needs to be gathered and verified in a provable audit trail. It means tracking down and piecing together evidence for pull requests, test reports, security scans, deployment logs, and more. This information is usually scattered across tools which are typically unsecured and unmanaged, so it can be easily deleted and/or modified.
