What is a cybersecurity audit?
A cybersecurity audit is a structured review of your network, cloud platforms, users, firewall rules, Microsoft 365 settings, endpoints, data access, logging, and compliance controls. The goal is to identify security gaps before they become breaches, ransomware incidents, failed customer reviews, or compliance problems.
What does OC Security Audit review?
Depending on scope, we review internal security, external exposure, network vulnerabilities, Microsoft Office 365, Azure cloud security, firewall policies, user accounts, privileged access, endpoint controls, logging, backup posture, and compliance readiness for frameworks such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST, SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, and CMMC.
Is a vulnerability assessment the same as a security audit?
No. A vulnerability assessment focuses on technical weaknesses such as missing patches, exposed services, outdated software, and misconfigurations. A security audit is broader and can include governance, access control, cloud configuration, firewall review, compliance gaps, business risk, and remediation planning.
Do you help businesses in Irvine, Orange County, Los Angeles, and Southern California?
Yes. OC Security Audit supports businesses throughout Orange County, Irvine, Los Angeles, and Southern California, with remote options available for organizations outside the area.
Can you help after the audit report is delivered?
Yes. We can explain the findings, help your IT team prioritize remediation, support firewall and Microsoft 365 hardening, assist with compliance readiness, and perform follow-up validation after critical fixes are completed.
