ramsac’s approach to cybersecurity audits
At ramsac, we recognise how important it is for all organisations to regularly review how well protected they are from a cyber attack or breach. Cybersecurity and business interruption firmly remain as the top threats to organisations globally, according to Allianz’s annual Risk Barometer report; therefore its more important than ever to ensure that you have the right measures in place to safeguard your organisation from cyber threats.
When people hear the term “cyber audit”, their minds often flick to the various technical measures you might deploy across your organisation to protect your systems, data and people, for example anti-virus solutions, firewalls, patching, cyber monitoring etc.
But cybersecurity is more than just your technical measures of protection – your people play a key part in protecting your critical assets, and secure behaviours come from the top down within the organisation, reinforced with meaningful, easy to understand policies.
As such, ramsac’s approach to cybersecurity audits is to perform a review of the whole organisation, from technical controls to written policies, to behaviours across the organisation and how the board perceives cybersecurity. This way, we can provide our clients with a comprehensive overview of their organisation’s approach to cybersecurity, and present meaningful recommendations tailored to your industry and organisation.
How our cybersecurity audit works
Our highly experienced Cybersecurity & Technical Consultants will gather information by spending time with key members of your organisation, such as from the Board or Senior Leadership Team, as well as anyone responsible for overseeing IT within your company. We also deploy various tools to help us gather a picture of the health of your IT estate and vulnerability to cyber threats.
We assess the security of your organisation across four key control areas:
People controls
How you ensure that your employees take responsibility for safeguarding your data.
Organisational controls
How your leadership team foster a culture of data security and protection across your organisation.
Technical controls
How your data is protected from a technical perspective, i.e. at a network, endpoint, and software level.
Physical controls
How your data is protected at a physical level on-site.

A cybersecurity audit strengthens your cyber defences and streamlines processes in many ways
At ramsac, our industry-leading cybersecurity solutions protect businesses from cyber threats and data breaches.
Our cybersecurity audit identifies weaknesses in your IT infrastructure and determines whether practices fully comply with relevant laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Also, by assessing your cyber defences and removing vulnerabilities, you’ll qualify for ramsac’s Cyber Resilience Certificate which demonstrates your commitment to your customers’ data and services via the highest level of cybersecurity protection.
