The Information Security Audit Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating under Austrian jurisdiction, establishing systematic procedures for evaluating and ensuring the effectiveness of information security controls. This policy becomes essential in light of stringent European and Austrian data protection requirements, including GDPR and DSG compliance obligations. It provides comprehensive guidance on conducting regular security assessments, defining roles and responsibilities, establishing audit frequencies, and ensuring proper documentation of findings. The policy is designed to help organizations maintain compliance while protecting sensitive information assets, with specific consideration for Austrian legal frameworks and regulatory requirements.
