Download Now for Free

About this guide:

Going through an audit can be painless if you effectively plan and prepare. See the 7-step checklist that will help you better handle this exercise.

Getting Started

Before your compliance partner begins field work, you should have a process in place for how the audit will be managed.

Having a process in place to prepare for audits:

  • Improves communication among your team members
  • Makes your internal controls stronger with best practices you may have not seen before
  • Increases your customers’ trust in your organization
  • Establishes a framework you can embed into your normal business operations
  • Keeps your company out of the headlines for security issues
