Overview
What this engagement solves.
If your information systems aren't regularly audited against recognized frameworks, you risk compliance failures, data leaks, and operational downtime. Our Information Systems (IS) Audit services provide a systematic assessment of your IT systems, governance structures, administrative controls, and policies. We evaluate compliance against local regulatory frameworks (such as NRB guidelines in Nepal) and international benchmarks (ISO 27001, COBIT, NIST), ensuring your controls are robust, well-documented, and functional.
