Audit professionals can benefit immensely from the visibility that continuous controls monitoring provides audit teams. Audit processes are smoother, quicker and ultimately accurate rather than point-in-time, and immediately out of date information:

• Assured ongoing effectiveness of all security controls: through ongoing 24/7 monitoring, assessment and analysis
• Ongoing reporting: on the security posture of information systems
• Maintained predetermined levels of acceptability: ensure that your organisation risk is where is should be.
• Ready Reporting: of both the effectiveness over time of the organisation’s security controls, and any changes to those controls that might have occurred.
• Board-level reporting: of cyber security status information.
