IT SECURITY AUDITS
IT security audits: prove you are compliant before the regulator checks
Compliance audits for DORA, NIS2, the Polish NIS Act and ISO 27001, plus technical audits of Active Directory, Entra ID and cloud. You get a report with concrete gaps and a remediation plan, ready to hand to an auditor.
WHY IT MATTERS
Penalties for non-compliance are real now, and the deadline will not wait
DORA, NIS2 and the NIS Act impose hard duties and concrete deadlines. Non-compliance is not abstract, it is the risk of a fine, management liability and lost contracts.
An audit tells you exactly where you stand and what is missing to meet the requirement. Instead of a vague “improve security” you get a list of concrete gaps with priorities and a remediation path.
WHAT YOU GET
A report that ends the discussion with the auditor
We match audit scope to the regulation that applies to you. Below are the audit types we run.
OUR APPROACH
An audit with a hand on the technology, not just the documents
Many auditors check policies and procedures. We also look inside: at the real Active Directory configuration, Entra ID permissions, cloud settings. Paper can be compliant while the environment is exposed.
The audit is run by people who attack these systems daily in penetration tests and hold credentials such as ISO 27001 Lead Auditor. That is why the report ties the regulatory requirement to real technical risk.
COMPLIANCE FRAMEWORKS
We cover the key regulatory duties
We map the audit directly onto the requirements of a specific regulation, so the report answers the auditor’s questions point by point.
STANDARDS & CERTIFICATIONS
We work to recognized methodologies, not gut feeling
Every project is run by certified pentesters and based on public standards. That makes the result repeatable, auditable and comparable across vendors.
We share the full list of certifications and standards on request, together with a sample test scope.
HOW WE DO IT
From regulatory scope to a remediation plan
EVIDENCE
Numbers behind every promise
Every test is run by certified pentesters, and we document the result with reproduction steps, evidence and a verified remediation path. Proof, not a promise.

KNOWLEDGE
IT security audit in practice, step by step
What a security audit is, and what a penetration test is
An audit assesses whether configuration, processes and documentation meet regulatory requirements and good practice. A penetration test actively tries to bypass those controls. An audit answers whether you are compliant, a pentest answers whether you are resilient.
The best result comes from combining the two, and that is usually how we work. The audit points out coverage gaps and formal non-conformities, while the penetration test confirms whether controls that are compliant on paper actually hold up against an attacker.
Which regulations may apply to you
DORA applies to financial entities and requires ICT risk management, incident handling and regular resilience testing. NIS2 covers essential and important entities across many sectors and imposes risk-management measures and reporting duties, including on management. The Polish NIS Act governs the national cybersecurity system.
On top of that come the Cyber Resilience Act with requirements for products with digital elements, and ISO 27001 as a recognized standard for an information security management system. The first step of an audit is to establish which of these frameworks actually apply to you, because that determines the scope and assessment criteria.
How we run an audit: from documents to real configuration
Many auditors stop at reviewing policies and procedures. We also look inside: at the real Active Directory configuration, Entra ID permissions and cloud settings. A document can be compliant while the environment is exposed, and the difference only shows once you look at the configuration.
The audit is run by people who attack these same systems daily in penetration tests and hold credentials such as ISO 27001 Lead Auditor. That is why the report ties the regulatory requirement to real technical risk, rather than just ticking a checklist.
How to read the report and remediation plan
We deliver the report in a form that ends the discussion with the auditor. We tie every non-conformity to a specific requirement clause, describe the actual state and indicate exactly what needs to change. We order gaps by risk and impact on compliance, not alphabetically, so you know where to start.
The remediation plan is not general advice, it is a sequence of actions with priorities. Once fixes are implemented we can re-verify the closed gaps and confirm it in writing, which helps in an external audit and in the conversation with the board.
The audit as proof of compliance
Penalties for non-compliance have stopped being abstract. DORA, NIS2 and the NIS Act carry real consequences, including management liability, and partners increasingly require proof of security as part of due diligence. An audit delivers that proof in a form you can present.
We map the report directly onto the requirements of a specific regulation, documenting scope, method and evidence. As a result it is not an internal note but material ready to present to a regulator, a certification auditor or a business partner.
