Natural Allies: Nurturing cyber resilient cultures through internal audit and information security collaboration

What's inside

Holistic approaches to cybersecurity are the bedrock of building cyber-resilient organizations in today’s volatile risk environment. Effective cyber risk management demands alignment, transparency, and collaboration across the organization — especially between internal audit and information security.

This joint Optro and Internal Audit Foundation report, takes an in-depth look into the dynamics between internal audit and information security, uncovering obstacles, opportunities, and strategies for forging a powerful partnership and elevating your organization’s cyber resilience.
