New study by Protiviti and ISACA underscores security risks looming large in today’s dynamic threat landscape
门洛帕克,加州. – A new survey conducted by Protiviti and ISACA found that cybersecurity is the chief risk for IT audit departments, with several related risks such as privacy and data as well as regulatory compliance also ranking as top concerns.
Responses to this year’s edition of the annual technology and audit benchmarking survey, 题为“IT审计对当今顶级技术风险的看法”,” indicate that IT audit teams are perceiving the current technology risk landscape as much more threatening than in the past. 与战争有关的网络攻击正在上升, the surge of sophisticated ransomware attacks is ongoing and remote work continues to subject many organizations to new cybersecurity risks. 然而,尽管担忧加剧, the survey revealed that one in five organizations do not expect their 2022 audit plans to address the risk of cybersecurity breaches.
“Given the increasingly complex and rapidly changing technology risk landscape we’re in, it’s imperative for IT audit leaders to understand they are responsible for maintaining a holistic view of IT risks impacting the entire organization,安吉洛·普里卡科斯说, a managing director at Protiviti and global leader of the firm’s Technology Audit practice. “This requires tech-enablement from an audit standpoint and regular calibration of risk assessments to suit the current environment, rather than ‘rinsing and repeating’ the work from previous years.”
“The elevated cybersecurity concerns evidenced in this year’s survey underscore that cyber threats are no longer concentrated within specific industries. 这是一个与行业无关的问题, 每个组织都应该动员起来保护自己. While IT audit teams may not be on the front lines managing these risks, it’s essential that they take a proactive approach to regularly assess the efficacy of these efforts while confirming the proper controls and protections are in place,普里卡科斯补充道.
2022年的十大IT审计风险
The survey asked respondents to rate the significance of 39 technology risk issues. Of those, the top 10 IT audit risks identified were as follows:
- Cyber breach
- 管理安全事件
- Privacy
- 监控法规遵从性
- Access risk
- Data integrity
- 灾难恢复
- 数据治理
- 第三方风险
- 监控/审核IT、法律和法规遵从性
The top risks cited in this year’s survey highlight the vital yet sensitive role that data plays in organizations today, with respondents expressing significant concerns regarding the way in which data is gathered, 受管理和担保. Respondents also demonstrated that IT audit professionals are acutely aware of the evolving compliance requirements facing their organizations, 与数据管理相关, 行业标准, 以及国家和地区的要求.
“全球都在关注数据监管, it may be easy to view data solely through a lens of compliance,保罗·菲利普斯说, ISACA director of Event Content Development and Risk Professional Practice lead. “However, consumer concern with how their data are used and stored and other operational matters that can quickly become reputational matters must not be discounted. As IT auditors assess risk and evaluate controls associated with data, the tremendous organizational value (and responsibility) of data and the importance of trust should always be top of mind.”
这份基准报告是基于一项调查, 该项目将于2021年第四季度投产, of over 7,500名IT审计领导和专业人员, including chief audit executives (CAEs) and IT audit vice presidents and directors, 代表着全球范围内广泛的行业. 这项调查是与 ISACA, a global professional association of more than 165,000 digital trust professionals.
