Security News > 2022 > April > Independent security audits are essential for cloud service providers. Here’s why
If you're a cloud service vendor, you should be prepared to answer this question from your customers: How can you prove your security and privacy practices are truly secure?
An external review validates your existing security practices.
This audit is conducted by an independent firm that reviews all aspects of your security and privacy operations - from software and infrastructure to communications and monitoring - to confirm high-level and reliable data security measures are in place when handling highly sensitive customer information.
We all think we have sound security and measures in place, but assurance from an independent reviewer can dissolve any lingering doubt.
My mantra is "Say what you do, do what you say, and be able to prove it." As a privacy and information security professional, there's no better feeling than clearing an external audit.
It's your time to prove that the business practices what it preaches and delivers the highest standard of security and privacy measures.
