Webinar: Performance and Adding Value Get to Know the New Cybersecurity Topical Requirement
Topical Requirements are a mandatory element of the International Professional Practices Framework® to be used with the Global Internal Audit Standards. They have been introduced to support internal auditors by providing clear criteria when performing audit engagements in particular risk areas. With their specialist focus, Topical Requirements will aid the internal audit professional and elevate the internal audit profession.
In February 2025, the IIA will release the first of its Topical Requirements. We invite you to learn about the Topical Requirement for Cybersecurity and how internal audit functions approach adoption and implementation. This webinar will focus on how conformance with the Cybersecurity Topical Requirement will improve the consistency, quality, and reliability of internal audit services and results.
George Barham, Director of Standards and Guidance, Information Technology and Anne Mercer, Senior Director Professional Guidance, will share with you the extensive collaboration that supported the development of the Cybersecurity Topical Requirement and will discuss how it will help internal auditors to assess and evaluate:
- The organization’s cybersecurity governance.
- Cybersecurity risk management.
- Cybersecurity control processes
As a result of viewing this webinar, you will be able to:
- Understand why Cybersecurity risk continues to be a top internal audit priority.
