Why carry out a GDPR audit focused on Information System security?

A GDPR audit focused on IS security allows you to assess your compliance and protect your data against cyber threats. It identifies your technical and organizational vulnerabilities to strengthen your security.

  1. A comprehensive assessment of your security and compliance
    to identify your vulnerabilities and prioritize the necessary actions.
  2. Personalized and operational support in implementing recommendations and building your teams’ skills.
  3. Preparation for ISO 27001 certification by aligning your practices with this international standard and structuring your processes.
  4. Enhance your image and reinforce trust by turning compliance and security into true strategic assets.

In summary, a GDPR audit focused on IS security enables you to protect your data, reduce risks, reassure your partners and highlight your commitment to security and compliance.

The key steps to succeed in your security-focused audit

Succeeding in a GDPR audit focused on Information System security requires a methodical and well-prepared approach.

1

Define the scope and objectives

It is essential to specify from the start the systems, data, and processes to be audited as well as the expected objectives, such as GDPR compliance, risk reduction, or preparation for ISO 27001 certification.
2

Collect and analyze information

The next step is to gather all useful data: processing mapping, security policies, contracts, procedures, technical configurations, and analyze them to identify gaps and vulnerabilities.
3

Conduct on-site checks

Interviews, technical tests, document reviews, and observations allow you to compare theory with practice and assess the actual effectiveness of the measures implemented.
4

Draft a clear and prioritized report

The audit report should present the findings, associated risks and recommendations prioritized according to their criticality and your operational constraints.
5

Implement an action plan

Finally, the success of the audit depends on the implementation of corrective actions, team support, and progress monitoring until the desired level of security and compliance is achieved.

Why carry out a diagnostic audit?

The diagnostic audit is a rapid assessment that provides an overall view of your GDPR compliance and your information system security. It identifies critical points to address as a priority and helps you define urgent actions to limit your main risks and enhance your data protection.

Typical activities include:

Scope definition

Scoping the audit, collecting information and understanding your challenges.

Practice analysis

Reviewing documents, processes, infrastructures, and interviewing teams.

Risk identification

Highlighting non-conformities, vulnerabilities and critical points.

Reporting

Writing a clear report with a prioritized action plan tailored to your organization.

Why carry out an in-depth audit?

The in-depth audit provides a comprehensive analysis of your practices, infrastructures, and GDPR compliance. It thoroughly examines all technical, organizational, and legal aspects of your organization to precisely identify vulnerabilities and establish an exhaustive and prioritized action plan. This audit is essential to gain a detailed view of your maturity level and to build a solid strategy for data protection and information system security.

Typical activities include:

Scoping and preparation

Define the scope, objectives and collect full documentation (policies, registers, contracts, technical diagrams, etc.).

Documentary and technical analysis

Thoroughly study procedures, processing activities, governance, and review infrastructures and systems.

Interviews and on-site checks

Meet the teams, observe actual practices, identify discrepancies between theory and practice.

Specific tests (optional)

Perform penetration tests, detailed technical audits and simulations to assess system robustness.

Findings and recommendations

Write a detailed report, rank risks and propose a complete and realistic action plan.

Why carry out a technical audit?

The technical audit aims to test the robustness of your information systems against threats. It helps identify technical vulnerabilities through penetration testing, configuration analysis, access control checks, and attack simulations. This audit is crucial to evaluate your infrastructure’s resilience and to put in place appropriate protection measures to prevent security incidents.

Typical activities include:

Scope definition

Determine the systems, applications, and networks to test as well as the attack scenarios to simulate.

Information gathering

Gather the necessary technical data: network architecture, configurations, user accounts, etc.

Penetration tests and analysis

Carry out controlled (internal and external) attacks, analyze vulnerabilities and assess existing protections.

Configuration checks

Review the settings of devices and software to detect potential weaknesses.

Report and recommendations

Provide a detailed report with identified weaknesses, their level of criticality, and an action plan to strengthen security.

Why prepare for ISO 27001?

Preparing for ISO 27001 certification aligns your practices with the requirements of the standard, structures your information security management system, documents your processes and demonstrates your ability to protect data and manage risks.

Typical activities include:

  • Initial assessment to identify gaps with the standard.
  • Definition of the information security management system.
  • Implementation of technical, organizational, and documentary measures.
  • Training and awareness for teams.
  • Internal audit to check compliance before certification.

Why carry out a dry-run audit?

The dry-run audit simulates an official inspection (certification audit or CNIL inspection) in real conditions to test your preparation, validate the robustness of your organization and fix the last non-conformities.

Typical activities include:

  • Definition of the scenario and rules of the game.
  • Collection and analysis of documentary and technical evidence.
  • On-site tests with interviews and verifications.
  • Identification of gaps and areas for improvement.
  • Delivery of a report and corrective action plan.
