Cyber Security Auditor

Cyber Security Auditors are ICT professionals who carry out comprehensive audits of an organisation’s network security systems, identifying vulnerabilities and recommending corrective actions. They create detailed audit reports and work closely with business leaders and company executives to ensure that cyber security risk management is incorporated into the corporate governance plan.

As a Cyber Security Auditor you could be analysing and testing the organisation’s data management systems for vulnerabilities, evaluating the effectiveness of cyber incident response procedures and operational policy, investigating security breaches and reporting the impacts to the executive team, submitting a cyber security audit report to the Board of Directors to include in the annual reports, researching new security technologies, or attending an international conference for cyber security professionals.
