THE CHALLENGES
When is it necessary to audit your infrastructure? Our clients typically seek our audit services in three distinct scenarios
Compliance Requirements
Frameworks like NIST SP 800-53, HITRUST i1, PCI require organizations to have policies in place that mandate yearly reviews at a minimum.
Shift Left
They want to introduce security early into the SDLC process by enhacing confidence in code build and deployment strategies.
Transformation
They are weary of relying on multiple interdependent systems and desire a shift towards greater modularity. They are in pursuit of professional guidance to evaluate their existing setup and strategize for upcoming advancements.

Compliance Audit
Discovering an audit finding isn't a disaster! Remember, even the biggest and most thriving companies have encountered compliance audit issues. What's crucial is understanding the severity and duration of the policy breach - consider the risk level of this audit finding, any counteracting procedures or controls in place, and the duration of this oversight. Our Compliance experts conduct a comprehensive audit of your infrastructure to provide optimization advice and improve the performance of your Information System (SI). If it's an option, offer to present a management response to the findings, detailing the corrective measures the organization plans to implement. Providing thorough details helps auditors understand the full scope of the issue. For example, in a case I handled, a former employee wrongly received stock. However, the company managed to rectify this by reversing the transaction. Consequently, we could report that although there was a finding, it didn't result in any financial loss to the company.

Each Audit follows the following process
-
Objective Setting
Clearly define the objectives of the audit. What are you trying to achieve, and what is the scope of the audit? Objectives should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound (SMART).
-
Risk Assessment
Conduct a risk assessment to identify potential areas of concern or weakness within the audited subject. This helps prioritize audit efforts and resources where they are needed most.
-
Independence and Objectivity
Ensure that the audit team is independent and free from bias. Auditors should not have a vested interest in the outcome and should maintain objectivity throughout the process.
-
Planning and Scoping
Develop a comprehensive audit plan that outlines the scope, timeline, resources, and methodology for the audit. Adequate planning helps in efficiently achieving audit objectives.
-
Documenting Evidence
Maintain clear and organized documentation of all audit evidence, including findings, observations, and supporting documentation. This ensures transparency and accountability.
-
Communication
Regularly communicate with relevant stakeholders, including management and those responsible for the audited subject. Transparency and open communication help in addressing issues as they arise.
The deliverables
Below are some sample deliverables our team offers to our clients, tailored according to the selected approach:
Prioritized Roadmap
A prioritized roadmap neatly showcases the major outcomes and deliverables that Takumi Cloud will prepare for a client. Based on the findings from an assessment or gap analysis, tasks for remediation are prioritized off of their impact and severity in order to close the most important gaps first. Clients and relevant teams receive a strategic plan that communicates upcoming changes effectively to ensure visibility from start to finish.
Gantt
The Gantt chart outlines the timeline and key phases of an infrastructure gap assessment conducted by Takumi Cloud for a client, mapping out tasks, their durations, and dependencies. It details the project from initiation, through the detailed assessment of the current IT landscape, identification of gaps, and development of an optimization roadmap, to the final presentation of findings and recommendations. The chart serves as a visual project management tool, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned on milestones, deliverables, and timelines for the infrastructure optimization journey.
