Certified auditors evaluate your entire security program, from boardroom governance to the server room door.
Get Your QuoteAn information security audit from Altius IT is the most comprehensive audit we offer: an independent evaluation of your organization's entire security program performed by Certified Information Systems Auditors (CISA).
We assess how your people, processes, technology, and facilities work together to protect sensitive information, covering administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and aligning to frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and HIPAA. It is the only audit in our portfolio that includes physical security: facility access, server rooms, data centers, and personnel controls. You receive a risk-rated report with step-by-step remediation guidance, an Auditor Opinion Letter you can share with clients, and 90 days of free post-audit support.
For deep configuration testing of servers, cloud, and Microsoft 365, see our IT security audit. For penetration testing and detection capability review, see our cybersecurity audit. Both can be combined with this engagement.
Information exists on paper, on screens, and on hardware, and an attacker with physical access bypasses most technical controls. Our on-site physical security audit covers:
Our auditors perform a physical walkthrough of your facilities, testing controls in practice rather than only reviewing them on paper.
Our IT security audit goes deep on technical infrastructure configuration. Our cybersecurity audit tests attack resistance and detection. The information security audit evaluates the whole program those pieces live in: governance, policies, people, vendors, and facilities, including physical security, which neither of the other audits covers. Choose this audit when you need assurance over the complete program rather than one layer of it.
A structured, three-phase approach across all three safeguard categories, ending with a clear, prioritized remediation plan.
We work with your stakeholders to define scope across all three safeguard categories, identify critical assets, facilities, and data flows, and review your policies, procedures, and internal controls. You receive a detailed proposal covering project scope and tasks, pricing options, CVs of the assigned audit team, and sample reports.
Our team reviews governance and administrative controls, evaluates technical safeguards, and performs an on-site physical security walkthrough of your facilities. Interviews with control owners verify that documented procedures match actual practice.
We deliver a report with prioritized findings, risk ratings, and specific remediation steps for each issue across administrative, technical, and physical domains. We then walk your team through the results and remain available for 90 days of free post-audit support.
This audit is for organizations building or validating a security program end to end.
| ISO 27001 / ISMS Programs | Companies preparing for ISO 27001 certification or building an information security management system. |
| Healthcare Organizations | Entities subject to the HIPAA Security Rule's administrative, physical, and technical safeguard requirements. |
| Defense Contractors | Organizations working toward CMMC and federal contract security obligations. |
| On-Premises Facilities | Organizations with server rooms, data centers, or sensitive physical records on site. |
| Boards & Executive Teams | Leadership that wants independent assurance over the entire security program. |
Findings are mapped to the frameworks that apply to your business, so a program-level audit doubles as certification and regulatory-readiness evidence. If you are preparing for certification or a review, the report maps gaps directly to the relevant requirements.
Findings across all three safeguard categories, each with a risk rating, evidence, and detailed remediation instructions, prioritized so your team knows where to start.
As Certified Information Systems Auditors, we can issue an Auditor Opinion Letter stating your systems meet security and compliance requirements.
Ask questions, validate fixes, and get guidance from the same team that performed your audit.
Each audit is staffed with:
Unlike a typical information security consultant, Altius IT is certified as a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) to audit your environment and issue formal reports and recommendations. Our experts have appeared on national television and in more than 40 publications.
Strengthen your applications and network infrastructure against evolving threats.
Meet HIPAA, GDPR, NIST, ISO, PCI-DSS, SOX, and other compliance standards.
Safeguard sensitive data, intellectual property, and customer information.
Every engagement includes follow-up support to ensure vulnerabilities are properly mitigated.
Answers to common questions about our information security audit services.
An information security audit is an independent evaluation of your organization's entire security program: governance, policies, risk management, vendor management, technical controls, and physical security. It assesses whether the program is properly designed, effectively implemented, and aligned with your business and regulatory requirements, and results in a risk-rated report with specific remediation steps.
An IT security audit focuses on technical infrastructure: server, cloud, and identity configurations. An information security audit covers the whole program around that technology, including governance, policies, personnel, vendors, and physical security. Many organizations start with the program-level audit and follow with deeper technical engagements.
Yes, and it is the only audit in our portfolio that does. We perform an on-site walkthrough covering facility access, server rooms, surveillance, environmental controls, media disposal, and personnel security, testing controls in practice rather than only on paper.
We align findings to the frameworks that apply to your business, including ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, SOX, PCI DSS, and CMMC. If you are preparing for certification or a regulatory review, the report maps gaps directly to the relevant requirements.
Yes. The physical security portion is performed on site. Administrative and technical reviews are performed on site, remotely, or both, depending on your environment and preferences.
Most engagements take three to six weeks from kickoff to final report, depending on the number of facilities, the size of the program, and the frameworks in scope. We confirm the timeline in your proposal before work begins.
Cost depends on the number of facilities and locations, program size, and frameworks in scope. We provide a fixed-fee quote after a scoping call, so you know the full cost before work begins.
At minimum annually, and after significant organizational changes such as mergers, new facilities, major regulatory obligations, or leadership changes in the security program. Frameworks such as ISO 27001 and HIPAA expect periodic independent evaluation.
From governance and policies to the server room door, know that every layer of your program holds up to independent scrutiny.
