IT Security Audit
At Perrywell IT Services, we understand the critical role that robust cybersecurity measures play in maintaining operational integrity and protecting sensitive information. That’s why we offer comprehensive IT security audits designed to help businesses of all sizes assess their IT security, identify vulnerabilities, and enhance their overall resilience against cyber attacks.
What is an IT security audit?
An IT security audit – also known as a cybersecurity risk assessment – is an in-depth evaluation of your organisation’s IT infrastructure, policies, and practices. Unlike traditional penetration testing, which focuses on identifying specific technical weaknesses, an IT security audit provides a holistic overview of your systems and processes.
Our IT security audits are tailored to each client’s specific needs, ensuring that no user or device is trusted without rigorous verification – leading your business towards a more secure, zero-trust environment.

“With the rapid evolution of cyber threats, a thorough IT security audit is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity. At Perrywell, we approach cybersecurity audits with a focus on holistic risk assessment, ensuring that each potential vulnerability is identified and addressed. Our aim is not just compliance but building true resilience, so our clients are prepared to face an ever-changing threat ladnscape with confidence.“

Why is an IT security audit essential?
With the growing complexity of cyber threats, a cybersecurity risk assessment offers several key benefits for businesses:
Enhance cyber resilience
Our IT risk assessments identify weak points across your network, systems, and user behaviour, allowing you to implement effective security measures and prevent potential breaches. Proactive identification of vulnerabilities helps minimise risk before cyber threats can exploit them.
Ensure regulatory compliance
Strict data security standards, such as GDPR govern many industries. Regular IT security audits help you stay compliant with these regulations, avoiding hefty fines and legal repercussions while ensuring the protection of sensitive data.
Boost stakeholder confidence
Demonstrating a commitment to cybersecurity builds trust with clients, investors, and partners. A successful IT security assessment shows you are serious about safeguarding your business and its data from cyber threats.
How often should you have an IT security audit?
For organisations handling sensitive data or financial transactions, we recommend performing a security audit at least annually. However, more frequent IT security audits may be necessary for businesses facing higher risks, such as those in heavily regulated industries or those that have undergone significant changes in their IT infrastructure.
