Independent, evidence-based assessments across IT, cybersecurity, and compliance – helping you find gaps before regulators, auditors, or attackers do.
Why Independent Audits Matter
Whether you’re preparing for certification, satisfying a regulator, or simply want an objective view of your risk – an independent audit gives management evidence-based answers instead of assumptions. We conduct audits across IT general controls, regulatory frameworks, payment infrastructure, and management systems, each scoped to the standard or framework that applies to your organization.
Which Audit Do You Need?
| Audit Type | Best For | Typical Trigger |
| IT Audit | Organizations wanting a general, independent view of IT risk | Board/audit committee request, pre-certification baseline |
| Cybersecurity Framework Audit | Georgian financial institutions and NBG-regulated entities | Regulatory compliance requirement, upcoming NBG examination |
| SWIFT CSP Audit | Banks and financial institutions connected to SWIFT | Annual KYC-SA attestation requirement |
| ISO/IEC 27001 Internal Audit | Organizations with a certified or soon-to-be-certified ISMS | Mandatory Clause 9.2 requirement, pre-certification/surveillance audit |

Our Approach to Every Audit
Regardless of framework or scope, every audit we conduct follows the same principles:
- Independence – Findings are objective and free from conflicts of interest, meeting both regulatory and standards-based independence requirements.
- Evidence-Based – Every finding is backed by documented evidence, not assumptions or generic checklists.
- Business-Relevant Reporting – Reports are written for decision-makers, translating technical findings into business risk and prioritized action.
- Practical Remediation – We don’t just identify gaps, we provide realistic, actionable steps to close them.
