IT Security Audit against international standards and regulatory requirements

An IT security audit is a structured review of your security posture and controls, measured against international standards and the regulations you answer to. MAYASEVEN assesses every layer — policy, process and live technical configuration — to show exactly where the gaps are and which risks to fix first. Leading security experts run the judgment; our own, on-prem AI agent runs the coverage at machine speed.

SCOPE

What IT Security Audit covers

Gap assessment against standards

We map your existing controls to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, PCI DSS and CIS Benchmark, plus the regulatory requirements you operate under. Every gap is logged individually with a severity rating and a clear order of remediation.

Policy and process review

We examine information-security policy, access management, change and patch management, backup, and incident response — not just whether documents exist, but whether the controls are actually enforced in practice.

Technical configuration review

Hands-on hardening review of servers, network devices, cloud (IAM, security groups, encryption) and identity against CIS Benchmark, confirming that real configuration matches stated policy.

Risk mapped to recognized frameworks

Findings are prioritized with CVSS and tied to adversary techniques in MITRE ATT&CK, so each gap is expressed as a path to real business impact — not an abstract checklist item.

Reporting for the board and the engineers

Two-tier output: an executive summary for leadership and board, and a detailed technical report with a remediation roadmap you can act on and use toward certification or regulatory submission.

THE AUGMENTED METHOD

How human + AI work together here

A security audit is where the augmented model pays off most directly. Our own AI agent, running entirely on-prem, sweeps configurations, documents and logs at a speed and breadth no human can match alone inside a fixed timebox. Our experts then apply judgment — deciding which gaps carry real risk, discarding false positives, and weighing the business context a machine cannot read. A named expert reviews and signs off on every finding; the model never does. Because the agent runs on infrastructure we own and certify, your configuration data, audit evidence and findings never leave our network and are never sent to any third-party model provider.

FAQ

IT Security Audit — frequently asked

How is an IT security audit different from a penetration test?

An IT security audit reviews controls, policy, process and configuration against standards such as ISO 27001 and PCI DSS to find systemic gaps. A penetration test simulates a real attack to prove whether a specific vulnerability can actually be exploited. They are complementary — many organizations run an audit first for the full picture, then use a pentest to confirm the priority risks in practice.

Which standards and frameworks does the audit cover?

We can assess against ISO/IEC 27001:2022, PCI DSS, CIS Benchmark and the specific regulatory requirements your organization must meet, scoping the work to the standards that apply to you. MAYASEVEN is itself certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015, so we understand the process from both sides of the table.

How long does an audit take and how is scope defined?

Timeline depends on the number of systems, the reference standard and how ready your documentation is. A mid-sized gap assessment typically runs around two to four weeks. A MAYASEVEN lead defines targets, depth and constraints with you up front, then provisions the engagement on isolated, on-prem infrastructure.

Can the report support certification, and is our data safe during the audit?

The report includes an executive summary, gaps prioritized with CVSS, supporting evidence and a remediation roadmap, so it can be used to prepare for certification or regulatory submission. Throughout the engagement your data stays sovereign: we built our own local LLM and pentest agent on-prem, so your configuration data and evidence never leave our network.
