A security audit is a systematic evaluation of a system’s controls, configurations, and code against security requirements and threats. It combines techniques such as code review, configuration assessment, penetration testing, and control verification to identify vulnerabilities and compliance gaps. Audits produce evidence and remediation guidance used to reduce risk and demonstrate assurance.
