12 technical questions about Cybersecurity Audit. Timelines, methodology, deliverables and assessment criteria.
It encompasses the evaluation of technical, organizational, and process controls to protect digital assets. It includes security architecture review, vulnerability management, incident response, and cybersecurity governance.
Any organization with critical digital assets: companies with online presence, infrastructure operators, entities handling sensitive data, and organizations required to comply with cybersecurity regulatory frameworks.
Between 5 and 25 business days depending on scope: a governance assessment can be completed in a week, while a comprehensive technical assessment with penetration testing requires more time.
It is based on recognized frameworks such as NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and ISO 27001. It includes maturity assessment, technical controls review, gap analysis, and threat scenario simulation.
Cybersecurity maturity report, prioritized vulnerability inventory, current security architecture map, and control recommendations with implementation effort estimates.
Cybersecurity assessment aligns with ISO 27001 as a management framework and ISO 22301 for resilience. Frameworks such as NIST CSF can be mapped against ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls.
Recurring findings include deficient patch management, insufficient network segmentation, absence of a tested incident response plan, and security monitoring limited to basic logs without correlation.
Document the network topology, inventory critical technology assets, compile existing security policies, and ensure access to logs from the last 90 days for review.
According to the IMC-PyME index assessed across 230 companies in 8 countries, 67% of SMEs are at Level 1 (initial) and only 4% reach Level 4 or above. The weakest dimension is supply chain security, averaging 1.2 out of 5.
The IMC-PyME (Cybersecurity Maturity Index for SMEs) is an assessment instrument with 5 levels and 7 dimensions designed to measure the security posture of small and medium enterprises. It is applied through structured questionnaires, interviews, and documentary evidence verification.
Concentration creates strategic dependency: 3 providers control 67% of the cloud market, 82% of organizations depend on a single cloud provider, and 92% of advanced chips come from a single country. This generates vulnerability to geopolitical disruptions, unilateral price changes, and loss of digital sovereignty.
Strategies include: adopting multi-cloud architectures with guaranteed contractual portability, periodic evaluation of critical providers with continuity criteria (ISO 22301), gradual diversification of technology components, and developing internal capabilities to reduce operational dependency on third parties.
