Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a Security & Risk Audit?

A Security & Risk Audit is a comprehensive review of an organization’s cybersecurity and risk management practices. It examines your IT systems, processes, and controls to identify vulnerabilities and ensure data protection.

Why does my pharmaceutical company need a security audit?

Pharma companies handle sensitive health data and proprietary research. An audit helps find and fix security gaps, ensuring patient data remains safe and your operations comply with regulations like FDA guidelines and HIPAA.

What is involved in a Risk Assessment & Gap Analysis?

This involves evaluating your current security measures and policies to find any gaps. We analyze your systems, processes, and third-party connections to determine where risks exist and how to address them.

What is a Vulnerability Assessment?

A vulnerability assessment uses tools and tests (such as vulnerability scans and penetration tests) to uncover weaknesses in your networks, applications, and systems. This helps you fix issues before they can be exploited by attackers.

How do these audits ensure GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 compliance?

We review your data handling and security practices against global standards. This includes checking encryption, access controls, privacy policies, and documentation to make sure you meet the requirements of GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and other relevant regulations.
