Financial & Operational Controls

ITGC

IT General Controls Audit

Give your finance and audit teams the IT control assurance they need for SOX, statutory, and internal audits.

IT General Controls (ITGC) audits assess the foundational IT controls that financial and operational audits depend on — access management, change management, backup and recovery, and IT operations. CyberCure runs ITGC assessments aligned to SOX, statutory audit, and internal audit requirements, giving your finance and audit committee the assurance that IT controls supporting financial reporting are operating effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who typically requests an ITGC audit?

Statutory auditors, internal audit teams, and audit committees request ITGC assessments as part of financial statement audits, particularly where financial reporting depends on IT systems.

How is ITGC different from a general cybersecurity audit?

ITGC specifically targets the IT controls that support financial reporting integrity — access, change management, backups, operations — rather than the full security posture covered by a VAPT or ISO 27001 assessment.

Can CyberCure support both ITGC testing and remediation?

Yes — we identify control deficiencies, help your team design and implement fixes, and re-test before your statutory audit deadline.
