Independent review of your IT infrastructure, controls, and processes — the audit trail regulators and boards expect, delivered without disrupting operations.
Scope
- Infrastructure & controls review — servers, network devices, and endpoint configuration against baseline hardening standards
- Access management audit — user provisioning, privileged access, and offboarding trails
- Change management review — whether changes to production systems are actually tracked, approved, and reversible
- Policy & documentation review — do written policies match what the environment actually does
- Board-ready reporting — findings translated into business risk language, not just a technical checklist
The Problem
Why this matters
Internal IT teams are usually too close to their own environment to audit it objectively — and self-assessments tend to confirm what everyone already believes is true, not surface what's actually broken. Boards and regulators know the difference between an independent audit and a team grading its own work.
Industry Pain Points
What most teams are stuck with today
- Access reviews are done from memory, not from an actual audit trail of who has access to what and why
- Change management exists on paper but isn't followed under deadline pressure
- Written security policies describe a environment that no longer matches what's actually deployed
- Audit findings get reported as a technical list the board can't act on
Methodology
How the engagement runs
Why Threat ResQ
What you're actually paying for
Independent, not self-graded
We have no stake in your existing IT decisions — findings reflect what we actually observe, not what's politically convenient.
Evidence-backed, not assertion-based
Every finding ties back to concrete evidence your team (and an external regulator) can independently verify.
Board-ready output
You get a technical report for engineering and a plain-language summary for leadership — not one document trying to serve both audiences badly.
Delivered without disrupting operations
Reviews are scheduled around your operational calendar — this is an audit, not a live intrusion test that risks availability.
FAQ
Common questions
How is an IT security audit different from a penetration test?
A penetration test actively tries to exploit your systems the way an attacker would. An IT security audit reviews your controls, processes, and documentation for gaps and compliance with best practice — it's a review of how you operate, not an attack simulation.
Will this disrupt our operations?
No — audits are scheduled around your operational calendar and rely on document review, configuration exports, and interviews rather than active testing against production systems.
Who is the report written for?
Both audiences: a detailed technical findings report for your IT team, and a separate board-ready executive summary that translates findings into business risk.
How often should we run an IT security audit?
Annually at minimum, or whenever there's a material change to your infrastructure, a new regulatory requirement, or before a board/investor review that expects independent assurance.
