Whether for specific projects or under a more comprehensive arrangement, GSC can support your internal audit function so that your staff, and your organization’s information systems, are working to their full potential.

Our IT audit approach is flexible and considers your organization’s culture, IT environment, systems, business operations, and priorities. You will quickly realize the benefits of a globally available, experienced, and well trained IT audit staff: consistent, reliable quality; knowledge of the most advanced systems and professional practices; staffing flexibility; and the ability to focus internal resources on the most strategic issues.

We partner with you through a variety of arrangements to meet your specific needs:

* GSC can work alongside your internal audit staff, contributing the specific technical skills that will enable you to address information technology risk. During our engagements, we can provide training to help your staff acquire these skills for use in the future.

* GSC can also assume broader responsibility for your IT auditing needs, including development of an IT risk analysis and profile; reviewing operating systems and networks; ensuring the consideration of appropriate security, integrity, and recoverability controls in systems development; assessing disaster recovery plans; and conducting special investigations.

* GSC can support you, whether your IT audit department is short of staff or needs assistance with a particular issue or technology. We work closely with your internal audit personnel to enhance their knowledge of specific systems or technologies. We can augment their skills in auditing techniques, performing integrated audits, and assessing network security in client/server and e-commerce environments.

When needed, GSC can assume responsibility for your organization’s IT audit services. When we act as your internal IT audit department, we provide you with the accountability of an external provider, access to well trained professionals, the flexibility to staff worldwide projects, and priorities as needed, and the freedom to focus on your own strategic issues.

The extensive training and career opportunities provided to our information technology professionals foster a consistently high level of competence and commitment to meeting your needs. We focus on your business objectives, helping to ensure that information systems, both old and new, comply with management’s goals, policies and procedures. Data security, disaster recovery, and system controls are just a few of the concerns we can address.

If your company is moving to new technologies, you have to ask:
 
“What are the risks? Do we have the right skills to assess those risks? Are we doing the right things to ensure quality, security and control?” Behind your answers should be an understanding of the future of the technology and its likely applications in your own industry. Getting the right systems to support corporate goals is the first objective in IT strategic planning. Just as important is getting your system right by ensuring quality controls from initial design through final implementation. Our IT auditing professionals provide you with the expertise you need to answer these questions and address your objectives.
