In general, an audit is an investigation of an existing system, report, or entity. An IT audit is a review of an organization’s IT systems, management, applications, operations, data use, and other related processes.

Types of IT audits

There are five main types of IT audits that can be broken down in one of two ways: general control review and application control review. General control applies to all areas of an organization, whereas application control pertains to transactions and data related to a specific computer-based application.

To dive deeper, the five types are:

Systems and applications

Checking that the systems and applications are secure on all levels of activity, as well as reliable, valid, and efficient.

Information processing facilities

Verifying that all processes are working correctly and if they’re in normal or disruptive conditions.

Systems development

Confirming that systems under development are being created in compliance with the organization’s standards.

Management of IT and Enterprise Architecture

Telecommunications

  • Verifying the reliability and integrity of information.
