Security News > 2021 > April > Despite the pandemic, 85% of organizations completed their audits as planned

85% of companies completed their audits as planned or with an extension, and 60% had no change to audit timing.

Organizations conduct multiple audits as disjointed, redundant projects.

85% of respondents conduct more than one audit a year, yet only 14% consolidate audits into a single annual event.

Only 25% of respondents stated that they are using a software solution to prepare for audits and assessments such as an automated security, compliance, or governance risk compliance solution.

Organizations should consolidate audits and auditors into a master audit plan, making the process a single annual event.

For organizations pursuing multiple audits, it's likely that much of the data and evidence will overlap.
