IT Audit Services
As digital transformation accelerates, organizations face increasing complexity in managing technology-related risks. To remain competitive, IT audits must evolve from traditional compliance checks to providing strategic insights that strengthen operational resilience and stakeholder trust.
What EY can do for you
In the pursuit of digital transformation, organizations adopt cloud-native platforms, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, and emerging technologies such as generative AI (GenAI) which adds new layers of complexity. Controls that once felt sufficient may now struggle to keep pace with evolving challenges.
The EY IT Audit service is designed to help customers navigate the fast-moving digital environment. The focus is on aligning audit activities with business priorities to contribute to broader goals such as operational resilience, regulatory alignment and stakeholder confidence. This approach integrates advanced technology, skilled professionals and streamlined processes so that audits not only meet compliance standards but also foster trust and confidence in digital transformation efforts.
Our team can help with better decision-making and reporting through the following capabilities:
Digital and identity risk:
The IT Audit services teams review role-based access across ERP, cloud and critical systems. Assessments include privileged access, segregation of duties and authentication processes, linking patch and vulnerability governance to IT General Controls (ITGCs) for stronger digital control assurance.
Cloud and platform risk:
This service involves evaluation of cloud-native controls across AWS, Azure and GCP, including SaaS configurations and change management. Audits also cover container security, CI/CD risk and DevSecOps audits to help clients manage platform risks effectively.
ERP and core systems risk:
The team conducts assessments of control effectiveness in SAP, Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics. Testing of automated controls, validating of system changes, and mapping of integration risks help ensure that ERP configurations support secure and reliable operations.
Third-party and ecosystem risk:
These audits cover outsourced IT functions and provide risk visibility into managed services and cloud providers. By achieving regulatory alignment (such as NCA, SAMA or CBK), clients can maintain compliance across their digital ecosystem.
Governance and digital compliance
The teams support end-to-end ITGCs modernization while crafting digital risk dashboards aligned to business impact. Assurance reporting is tailored for boards and regulators, helping organizations communicate their digital risk posture with clarity and confidence.
