Why IT Auditing Is No Longer Optional in 2025 (And What You Should Be Doing Now)

Gone are the days when IT audits were reserved for public companies or finance teams. In 2025, IT audits are an essential practice for every organization that uses technology—which is everyone.

Why IT Audits Matter

  • Regulatory Pressure: Frameworks like SOX, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 mandate IT controls.

  • Cyber Risk: An audit uncovers weak access controls, outdated systems, and misconfigured tools before attackers do.

  • Board Accountability: Executives and boards are now held directly accountable for security incidents.

What Should Be Covered in an IT Audit?

  • Access Controls: Who can access what, and why?

  • Change Management: Are you tracking updates and rollbacks?

  • Backup & Recovery: Are your recovery processes tested?

  • Incident Response: Is your team ready to respond?
