INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AUDITS; SAFEGUARDING YOUR BUSINESS

CHANDLER, AZ. 21 August 2006- -MTI Tech Solutions announced the significance of IT audits and the safeguarding of a business’ integrity, security and data. Information technology audits gather information about a system’s operations to ensure that a company’s assets are protected and secure. IT audits also determine whether or not the system is working efficiently enough for the company to achieve their objectives.

IT audits have become increasingly popular due to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act whose efforts were aimed toward improving the accounting and reporting practices of businesses throughout America. Additionally, companies use IT audits to ensure that they are meeting current government compliance requirements and most importantly, to ensure that their systems are secure and assets are protected.

MTI added that IT audits, if properly conducted, can add strategic value and security to your company which can increase the overall effectiveness of your IT system.

“IT audits are an important security measure which all companies should consider, said Heather Mayor, business director for MTI.” Often times, company’s think they are protected, in actuality they really have no idea whether they are or not; this is something that can’t be seen on the surface, IT audits require in-depth investigations into one’s system.”

MTI also reports that IT audits can be a manageable process to undergo if you properly prepare for them. Preparation allows for the IT audit process to be conducted adequately. Preparation also maximizes your efforts in determining whether or not your business is operating according to federal government regulations and ultimately, operating efficiently enough to ensure success and prosperity within your company.


MTI was founded in 1995 as a high-end computer support firm whose mission was geared toward meeting the need for experienced and certified computer service professionals that catered to small and mid-size business
