In response to growing cybersecurity threats and regulatory requirements in Pakistan, organizations need a structured approach to evaluating their information security controls and compliance status. The Information Security Audit Policy serves as a crucial governance document that establishes standardized procedures for conducting security audits, ensuring consistency and comprehensiveness in security assessments. This policy becomes essential for organizations handling sensitive data, particularly in light of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016 and emerging data protection regulations in Pakistan. It provides a framework for identifying vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and ensuring compliance with both local laws and international security standards. The policy is designed to support organizations in maintaining robust security postures while meeting their regulatory obligations under Pakistani law.
