Why Routine security audits are essential

It is essential that regular security audits are conducted to find out physically which computer is connected and permits access to which networks. Also, the profiles, browser permissions, certification, passwords, location of the computer in the network layout plan, firewall configuration, etc. for each computer and user on the Intranet has tobe carefully studied during the audits. There are a number of other issues that cannot be dealt with directly such as integrity of the persons within the organisation. It is essential that they be requested to fill up a questionnaire or they are interviewed briefly about the security measures using indirect questions.
