Certified auditors assess every layer of your IT infrastructure, then give you a prioritized plan to harden what we find.
Get Your QuoteAn IT security audit from Altius IT is a comprehensive, hands-on assessment of your technology infrastructure performed by Certified Information Systems Auditors (CISA), benchmarking configurations against CIS, NIST, and vendor hardening standards.
Our CISA-certified auditors conduct a technically driven assessment of your complete IT environment to determine whether your systems are securely configured, properly maintained, and resilient against technical threats:
Findings are benchmarked against the standards that matter to your business, so the audit doubles as compliance and customer-review evidence.
An IT security audit looks inside-out: it verifies that your infrastructure, configurations, identity systems, and operational controls are built and managed securely. A cybersecurity audit looks outside-in: it tests whether an attacker can break in and whether you would detect and respond. The two are complementary, and many organizations engage us for both. If your priority is configuration assurance and operational hygiene, start here; if your priority is attack resistance and detection, start with the cybersecurity audit.
A structured, three-phase approach that scopes your environment, tests your controls, and leaves your team with a clear remediation plan.
We work with your stakeholders to define scope, identify critical assets and systems, and review your security 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.
Using automated tools and expert analysis, our team conducts configuration reviews, vulnerability assessments, and control testing across your in-scope infrastructure. Work is coordinated with your team and scheduled to avoid disruption to operations.
We deliver a report with prioritized findings, risk ratings, and specific remediation steps for each issue. We then walk your team through the results and remain available for 90 days of free post-audit support to confirm vulnerabilities are properly mitigated.
This audit is for organizations that need independent assurance that their infrastructure is securely built and operated.
| MSP-Reliant Organizations | Companies relying on a managed service provider that want independent, third-party verification. |
| Cloud Adopters | Organizations migrating to or expanding in AWS, Azure, GCP, or Microsoft 365. |
| Compliance & Review Candidates | Businesses preparing for compliance audits or customer security reviews. |
| Fast-Growing Firms | Companies that have grown faster than their IT controls and need to catch up. |
Every finding includes a risk rating, evidence, and detailed instructions to mitigate or eliminate the issue, 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:
Anyone can call themselves a 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 servers, cloud, identity, and endpoints 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 IT security audit services.
An IT security audit is an independent assessment of your technology infrastructure: servers, cloud environments, Microsoft 365, endpoints, identity systems, backups, and the operational processes that manage them. Configurations are benchmarked against standards such as CIS and NIST, and you receive a risk-rated report with specific remediation steps.
An IT security audit verifies inside-out that your infrastructure and controls are configured and managed securely. A cybersecurity audit tests outside-in whether attackers can break in and whether you would detect and respond, including penetration testing. The two are complementary, and combined engagements are available.
Yes. Microsoft 365 review covers Entra ID, conditional access, MFA enforcement, Defender for Office 365, sharing settings, DLP, and audit logging. Cloud coverage includes AWS, Azure, and GCP configuration, IAM, and storage permissions.
The report includes an executive summary, a prioritized list of findings with risk ratings, evidence for each issue, and step-by-step remediation instructions. We review the report with your team and provide 90 days of free support while you remediate.
Most engagements take two to four weeks from kickoff to final report, depending on the size of your environment, the number of locations, and cloud complexity. We confirm the timeline in your proposal before work begins.
Cost depends on the size and complexity of your environment, including locations, servers, cloud accounts, and compliance requirements. We provide a fixed-fee quote after a scoping call, so you know the full cost before work begins.
At minimum annually, and after major infrastructure changes such as cloud migrations, mergers, or new compliance obligations. Many frameworks, including PCI DSS and HIPAA, expect periodic independent assessment.
Typically: an inventory of in-scope systems and locations, read-only or audit credentials where needed, relevant policies and procedures, and a point of contact. We walk you through everything during planning.
Strengthen your infrastructure against evolving threats, meet regulatory requirements, and protect your data, intellectual property, and customers.
