In this module, we will explore control design and its role in IT security. We will discuss how to identify control weaknesses, differentiate between key and non-key controls, and assess the risk levels of applications. Additionally, we will examine audit documentation, such as workpapers, and define the scope of IT infrastructure testing.

In this module, we will perform an in-depth IT audit, covering key phases such as planning, fieldwork, and reporting. We will test various IT controls, including access management, change management, and system development life cycle (SDLC) controls, while analyzing audit results for deficiencies.

In this module, we will explore SOC audits, focusing on their role in evaluating service organization controls. We will review SOC categories, testing requirements, and reporting formats while learning how to assess SOC reports for compliance and security effectiveness.

In this module, we will introduce cloud auditing and its role in securing cloud environments. We will cover essential cloud computing concepts, review its history and benefits, and differentiate between cloud deployment models and service models such as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.

In this module, we will explore cloud governance and its significance in maintaining security and compliance. We will discuss cloudification, risk management, and the shared responsibility model, which defines security roles between cloud providers and customers.

In this module, we will explore audit frameworks used in cloud environments. We will examine cloud governance frameworks, internal controls, and methodologies for identifying and addressing control weaknesses to strengthen cloud security.

In this module, we will cover the cloud audit process, including planning, fieldwork, reporting, and follow-up. We will analyze CSA control domains and leverage frameworks such as the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) to assess cloud security effectiveness.

In this module, we will perform cloud security controls testing, covering key areas such as access management, data security, logging, change management, and incident response. We will also review business continuity planning to ensure resilience in cloud-based services.

In this module, we will explore how to assess cloud service provider (CSP) environments for compliance and security risks. We will review SOC reports, analyze different SOC audit categories, and learn how to interpret and validate findings in CSP assessments.

In this module, we will introduce IT audit application walkthroughs, covering the process of gathering information through questionnaires. We will discuss best practices for engaging with audit clients and reviewing system and application configurations for compliance.

In this module, we will focus on walkthrough questionnaires used in IT audits. We will cover critical areas such as system access, password configurations, change management, and data backup, ensuring a structured approach to collecting audit evidence.

In this module, we will perform an application walkthrough to assess security measures. We will review user access provisioning, system configurations, and privilege management while working collaboratively with IT teams and application owners.

In this module, we will review backup and recovery controls as part of IT audits. We will assess data recovery plans, password configurations, and change management processes while documenting findings from walkthrough meetings.

In this module, we will explore best practices for preparing for an IT audit job interview. We will cover resume review, research techniques, punctuality, and post-interview follow-up strategies.

In this module, we will prepare for practical IT audit interviews by discussing common questions and effective response strategies. We will cover key topics such as control testing, IT audit processes, sample size determination, and risk assessments. Additionally, we will explore how to articulate experience with cloud security and audit frameworks.

In this module, we will continue refining responses to IT audit interview questions with a focus on access controls, change management, and backup & recovery testing. We will also discuss common issues encountered during audits and how to approach SOX and SOC audit-related questions.

In this module, we will focus on technical IT audit interview questions. Topics include IT audit frameworks (e.g., COBIT, COSO), IT audit tools, controls testing, risk prioritization, and IT audit report formats. We will also discuss the role of an IT auditor and strategies for handling audit challenges.
