Don't Let Audits Be Your Nightmare:
How to Simplify Compliance with Information Security Standards
For most companies, information security audits are a process they just want to get over with as quickly as possible. Achieving compliance with standards such as ISO 27001, KVKK (Personal Data Protection Law), EPDK (Energy Market Regulatory Authority), or the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey Digital Transformation Office’s Information and Communication Security Guide (BİGR) can turn into a paperwork battle.
However, if you think audits are just a formality, you are making a big mistake. Poorly managed audits not only increase your workload but also create significant risks.
Common Mistakes in Audit Processes
When regulations and standards come into play, many companies fall into these traps:
📌 Documentation Chaos:
When the audit process begins, finding the required documents can become a nightmare. Getting lost among Excel files, emails, and different document versions leads to wasted time and inaccurate reporting.
📌 Implementing Security Measures Only for Audits:
Many organizations scramble to fix their shortcomings as audits approach. However, security is not a one-time effort for audits—it requires continuous monitoring and maintenance.
📌 Failure to Track CAPA Processes:
During audits, Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) are identified to address deficiencies. However, failing to track these actions results in the same mistakes being repeated year after year.
📌 Non-Compliance Penalties and Reputation Damage:
For instance, many companies have faced multi-million lira fines due to non-compliance with KVKK. Energy companies that fail to comply with EPDK regulations encounter severe penalties. Poorly managed audits can lead to both financial and reputational losses.
How to Manage Audits More Easily and Effectively
🎯 Track the Entire Process from a Centralized System:
By consolidating the documents and controls required by regulations in a centralized platform, you can eliminate the hassle of finding information during audits.
🎯 Keep Security Measures Continuously Updated:
Instead of preparing for audits only when they arise, conduct regular security assessments to identify and resolve issues before they escalate.
🎯 Manage CAPA Processes Systematically:
Rather than tracking Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) manually, you can streamline the process with task assignments and automated reminders.
