Security audit<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Independent assessment of your processes, configurations, and compliance with NIS2, the Cybersecurity Act, and ISO 27001. Identify your weak points and determine what needs to be addressed as a priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\nRequest a security audit<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

What is a security audit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A security audit is an independent, structured assessment of your organization’s overall level of cybersecurity. Unlike penetration testing<\/a>, which actively attacks systems to find exploitable vulnerabilities in practice, an audit focuses on processes, policies, configurations, and compliance with standards and legislative requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It answers the question \u201cAre we doing the right things correctly?\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 rather than \u201cCan an attacker penetrate our firewall?\u201d<\/strong> Both approaches complement each other: an audit reveals gaps in management and processes, while a penetration test verifies whether these gaps are actually exploitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is an audit necessary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How does the audit work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our audit process is structured into five phases, ensuring systematic coverage and clear outputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
1<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kick-off and scope definition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Together, we define the scope of the audit, key systems and areas, the schedule, and contact persons on your side. We agree on the methodology and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). The goal is for both parties to know exactly what the audit will and will not cover. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
2<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Data collection and documentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We collect supporting materials: security policies, network diagrams, asset inventory, records of previous audits and incidents. We conduct structured interviews with IT administrators, managers, and the security team, supplemented by technical configuration checks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
3<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Assessment and analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We evaluate the collected data against reference frameworks (ISO 27001, NIS2, NIST CSF, CIS Controls). We identify gaps and assess their severity. The result is a clear risk map prioritized by impact and probability. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
4<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Preparation of the audit report<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We prepare a detailed written report with findings, severity ratings, context, and specific recommendations. Each finding includes a description, evidence, risk, and recommended remediation steps \u2013 not generic advice, but solutions tailored to your environment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
5<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Presentation and roadmap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We present the results to your management and IT team. We explain priorities and help create a realistic roadmap for corrective measures. Upon request, we also provide follow-up verification (re-audit) of the implementation of recommendations. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Regulatory compliance: NIS2, Cybersecurity Act, GDPR, and ISO 27001<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regulatory pressure on cybersecurity in the Czech Republic is growing significantly. Key frameworks include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NIS2 and the Cybersecurity Act<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Czech Republic has transposed the NIS2 directive through a completely new Cybersecurity Act (No. 264\/2025 Coll., effective from November 1, 2025), which replaced the previous Act No. 181\/2014 Coll. Regulated service providers \u2013 in both higher and lower obligation regimes \u2013 must implement appropriate security measures according to Decrees No. 409\/2025 Coll. and No. 410\/2025 Coll. and report incidents to N\u00daKIB. A security audit is a fundamental tool for verifying compliance and preparing for inspection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GDPR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GDPR requires appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. A security audit identifies whether your measures truly correspond to the processed data and risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISO\/IEC 27001:2022<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The international standard for Information Security Management Systems. An audit according to Annex A of the 2022 revision covers 93 security controls and forms the basis for a certification audit. SysnetShield will help you navigate the requirements and set a realistic path to certification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-compliance with the Cybersecurity Act can lead to a fine of up to CZK 250 million or 2% of total global annual turnover<\/strong> (higher obligation regime), and up to 4% of turnover for GDPR. A security audit is an investment, not a cost. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

What sets us apart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n<\/circle><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

Specialized team, not subcontractors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are not a consultancy firm that resells work. Every project is led directly by members of our team with full responsibility for the result. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

Manual work, not just automated tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Automated scanners detect known vulnerabilities. Logic errors, business-logic flaws, and exploit chains can only be uncovered by an experienced tester who thinks like an attacker. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/rect><\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

Actionable outputs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The report is not an academic exercise. It is written so that your dev or ops team can start remediation immediately\u2013with specific steps and links to resources. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/circle><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

Tailored scenarios, not templates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We build every project according to your environment, your risks, and your goals. We do not use off-the-shelf methodologies or generic templates. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/path><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

Discretion and confidentiality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We sign an NDA before every project. All information and results remain exclusively between us and you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\n\n\n

Compliance with international standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The methodology is based on OWASP, PTES, and NIST and is in compliance with NIS2 and the Cybersecurity Act\u2013meaning it is recognized by regulators and auditors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
