AUTOMATED AUDIT ASSURANCE
Pass your audit before it happens. Faltrox Security conducts rigorous IT Internal Audits and Readiness Assessments for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF using automated evidence validation. We act as your independent 'Third Line of Defense', identifying gap and control failures with machine precision.
Overview
Proof, Not Promises
The days of showing an auditor a "sample of 5 screenshots" are over. Regulators demand Continuous Assurance.
We don't just ask 'Do you have backups?'. We script the query that checks the backup logs of 100% of your databases every single day.
Our data-driven auditing methodology finds the hidden gaps, like that one legacy server everyone forgot about, ensuring you never face a 'Qualified Opinion' or a failed certificate.

Audit Functions
We provide different levels of assurance depending on your needs.
Gap Assessment
Mapping your current controls against NIST CSF 2.0 or ISO 27001:2022 to find missing links.
Internal Audit
Independent validation of your ISMS (ISO 27001 Clause 9.2) required for annual certification.
CMMI Maturity
Scoring processes from Initial (1) to Optimized (5) to guide 3-year security roadmaps.
SOC 2 Readiness
Pre-assessment for SOC 2 Type I & II to ensure a clean report from your CPAs.
Cloud Audit
Technical review of AWS/Azure environments against CIS Benchmarks Level 1 & 2.
Regulatory Check
Evaluating adherence to GDPR Article 32, HIPAA Security Rule, and NYDFS 500.
Process
Verification Cycle
Structured, objective, and thorough. Our audit methodology leaves no stone unturned.
- 01
PLANNING
Defining the audit scope, criteria, and schedule to minimize business disruption.
- 02
FIELDWORK
Gathering evidence through staff interviews, sampling, and technical observation.
- 03
TESTING
Test of Design (TOD) and Test of Operating Effectiveness (TOE) for key controls.
- 04
REPORTING
Documenting Non-Conformities (Major/Minor), Observations, and Opportunities for Improvement.
- 05
CAPA
Helping you draft a Corrective and Preventive Action plan to fix the findings.
- 06
FOLLOW-UP
Verifying that the fixes were implemented and effectively closed the gap.
Scope
Control Failures
Why audits are necessary.
Drift
Controls that worked 6 months ago stop working because of a software update.
Workarounds
Employees bypassing security controls (like MFA) to 'get work done faster'.
Blind Spots
New assets (Shadow IT) spun up in the cloud that are not being monitored.
Evidence Gaps
Failing an external audit because you forgot to take screenshots of the backup logs.
Outcomes
Key benefits
Pass the exam.
Certification Success
Clean up issues privately so you get a perfect report publicly. Independent internal audit eliminates surprises in your external certification cycle.
Deep Visibility
Uncover problems in your processes that automated tools miss.
Knowledge Transfer
We teach your internal team how to maintain controls effectively.
Benchmarking
See how your controls implementation compares to industry peers.
Process Efficiency
Identify redundant controls that slow down the business without adding value.
Board Assurance
Give the Audit Committee confidence that risks are managed.

FAQ
Common questions
01Internal Audit vs. External Audit?
External audits are performed by certification bodies (like BSI or PwC) to issue a certificate. Internal audits are performed by us to check if you are READY for the external audit.
02Can you be our Internal Auditor?
Yes. Standards require the internal auditor to be impartial (i.e., not the person who fixed the issue). We serve as your independent internal audit function.
03What is a Gap Assessment?
A 'start-state' review where we map your current processes against a standard (e.g., NIST CSF) to generate a prioritized list of things to fix.
04Do you audit cloud environments?
Yes. We can audit your AWS/Azure controls against CIS Benchmarks as part of the assurance scope.
05How long does an audit take?
A typical internal audit for ISO 27001 takes 3-5 days of fieldwork, followed by 1 week of reporting.
06Do you fix the findings?
As auditors, we can recommend how to fix them (CAPA), but we cannot implement the fix ourselves if we want to remain independent for the re-test.
