Overview: Cyber Security Audit
Our Cyber Security Audit conducts an independent evaluation that assesses all security protocols and control systems and governance frameworks that your business maintains. We perform an assessment of your present security position through established industry standards and legal requirements, which enables you to discover compliance gaps, enhance your security measures, and decrease your business risk exposure.
Cyber Security Audit works differently from penetration testing because it evaluates your organisation’s security framework through policy assessment, access control evaluation and operational process review. The assessment process includes security document evaluation together with identity access management system review, data processing evaluation, incident response capability assessment and vendor security evaluation, which maps all identified issues to ISO 27001, PDPA and MAS TRM standards.
The final report from our work will show you all compliance requirements through an evidence-based gap analysis which provides priority-based remediation solutions that help your organisation improve security, achieve compliance and prepare for regulatory and customer audits.
How the Audit Runs, Start to Finish
Our structured audit methodology ensures every assessment follows a consistent, transparent process while remaining tailored to your organisation’s regulatory and operational requirements.
Scope
Agree which systems, policies, and locations the audit covers.
Review
Examine policies, access controls, and technical configurations.
Assess
Score every control against ISO 27001, PDPA, and MAS TRM clauses.
Report
Deliver a gap analysis and compliance report in plain language.
Remediate
Hand over a prioritised roadmap and support you through the fixes.
Every finding is scored and referenced against a recognised standard — so your report holds up with regulators, auditors, and customers alike.
Why Choose Genic for Your Cyber Security Audit
Most audits stop at a checklist. Ours ends with a roadmap your team can actually act on, backed by people who’ve sat on both sides of the table — as auditors and as the ones fixing the findings.
Certified, independent auditors
Mapped directly to ISO 27001, PDPA & MAS TRM
Plain-language reports, not raw scan output
Remediation support, not just a findings PDF
A Cyber Security Audit is different from a Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Test (VAPT). While an audit evaluates governance, policies, and security controls, VAPT actively tests your systems for exploitable vulnerabilities. Most organisations benefit from both, with an audit establishing a strong compliance foundation before technical security testing.
What a Cyber Security Audit Covers
A full review of governance, access, data handling, and response readiness, which is distinct from the technical, hands-on-keyboard testing of a VAPT engagement.
Policy & Governance Review
We check whether written security policies exist, match how the business actually operates, and are reviewed on a regular cycle.
Access & Identity Controls
User permissions, privileged accounts, and offboarding processes are checked for least-privilege access and clean audit trails.
Incident Response Readiness
We test whether your response plan is documented, assigned to named owners, and actually rehearsed, not just filed away.
We Also Trace How Data Moves Outside Your Walls
Cloud storage, third-party vendors, and contractor access are common blind spots. We map data flows, check vendor contracts for security clauses, and flag any point where sensitive data leaves your control without oversight.
- Data classification & handling review
- Third-party & vendor risk assessment
- Cloud configuration & storage checks
- Compliance mapping to ISO 27001 & PDPA
What You Receive At The End
At the conclusion of the audit, you’ll receive a complete set of reports designed to support executive decision-making, compliance initiatives, and remediation planning.
Gap Analysis
A detailed assessment of every control measured against applicable frameworks, with evidence, risk ratings, and compliance status.
Compliance Report
An executive-ready report summarising your organisation’s current security posture and alignment with ISO 27001, PDPA, MAS TRM, and other applicable standards.
Remediation Roadmap
A prioritised action plan that ranks findings by business risk and implementation effort, helping your team focus on the improvements that matter most.
Frequently Asked Questions
An audit reviews your policies, controls, and compliance posture on paper and in practice. VAPT (penetration testing) actively tries to break into your systems to find exploitable technical weaknesses. Most businesses benefit from both: an audit first to spot policy gaps, then VAPT to test the technical controls under attack conditions.
We map findings to ISO 27001, Singapore’s PDPA, and MAS TRM guidelines for financial institutions. If your business needs to meet a different or additional standard, we scope that in during the kickoff call.
The duration of most audits falls between two and four weeks because they need to cover all systems and locations and frameworks which are part of the evaluation process. We confirm a timeline once scoping is complete.
The compliance report comes with a remediation roadmap which shows you the order of importance for addressing issues. Our team will either perform the necessary fixes for you or help your IT staff members learn how to implement the solutions which we have identified.
Yes. The audit process adapts to your business dimensions and risk assessment results because we perform targeted assessments for smaller companies which stay within their financial boundaries instead of conducting extensive evaluations they do not require.
