Information Technology (IT) System Assessments

Information technology (IT) system assessments help companies understand risks related to their technology use and identify potential internal control gaps prior to an IT system upgrade or implementation.

By proactively recognizing gaps and taking measures to address identified risks, organizations can enhance transparency and build confidence in a new or upgraded IT system prior to its implementation.

  • Human resources system assessments
