Third-party audit
What is Cybersecurity Audit?
A cybersecurity audit is a formal process conducted by an independent third-party organization, designed to act as a checklist to validate an organization’s cybersecurity policies and ensure the presence and proper functioning of cybersecurity control mechanisms.
The most common third-party cybersecurity audit is the compliance audit. This type of audit is performed to determine the level and degree of compliance to a law, regulation, or standard. Many laws or regulations require that the audit must be performed by approved or licensed external auditors.

Why Choose Omnient?
Omnient and its team of auditors are certified to perform many of the audits that must be conducted for companies running their activities in Romania, in specific sectors:
– NIS (Network and Information Security) EU Directive (Romanian Law 362/2018)
– Normative issued by the Authority for the Digitalization of Romania (ADR) concerning remote electronic payment instruments, digital platforms for alternative transportation, remote identification using video instruments, etc.

Our team of auditors have also an extensive experience of conducting other compliance audits like: SWIFT, National Bank of Romania (ReGIS SaFIR), Transfond (SENT), ANAF Order 146/2022, etc.
Other types of cybersecurity audits that might be of interest are:
– The Digital Operational Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) solves an important problem in the EU financial regulation. Before DORA, financial institutions managed the main categories of operational risk mainly with the allocation of capital, but they did not manage all components of operational resilience. After DORA, they must also follow rules for the protection, detection, containment, recovery, and repair capabilities against ICT-related incidents. DORA explicitly refers to ICT risk and sets rules on ICT risk management, incident reporting, operational resilience testing, and ICT third-party risk monitoring.
– Forensic audit – usually performed by a cybersecurity auditor specialized in forensics in support of an anticipated or active legal proceeding.
– Service provider audit – because many organizations outsource critical activities to third parties, organizations will undergo external audits to increase the confidence in the integrity of the third-party organization’s services.
