Before any kind of information security audit is established, it is essential that the information technology or IT activities of the company be well understood. This will constitute the first step and is the most essential parameter to be understood by a company conducting the audit. Since a lot of application security inspections will depend on how a system works, most of the companies involved in security audit will establish the range of activities that the client company is having. Such a concern is addressed by meeting up with the IT management team, reviewing the IT organizational structure, operating systems, IT policies, and any disaster recovery plan in place. Outlining the objectives of conducting an audit of the application security is to be then considered, which requires the checking of the personnel procedures and objectives, whether change management plans are in place or not, and whether or not the data center has adequate physical security controls. These are the planning activities that are done by the people conducting the information security audit because such a test will be identifying the potential audit risks, which the audit people will have to handle during the process. Third is the task of performing the review and this is the most important point in the application security measures because, it is only after such a review that any correctional steps can be advised or taken. For this to materialize, the physical presence in the data center is essential and all the personnel should be allowed to exercise their access. Equipment checks for their proper functioning are required. The physical checks are to be performed, provided there is an uninterrupted power supply system in place. Information security audit will then need the access to varieties of places in the entire data center so as to find out if any breach could happen or not. Flaws in the system are supposed to be exposed in the whole area of the data center in the IT set up, with all its functions. Those who are performing the information security audit are aware of the security issues and the ethical factors in the process. It is only through the revision of the implemented safeguards and the information security process that an opinion can be formed on the safety, completeness and appropriateness of the system. Therefore, those companies which allow for review of their application security from time to time are able to ensure that they security system is updated and not possible to be breached by forces that could harm the IT system.
