In today’s fast-paced and digitally interconnected business environment, managing IT and information security (IS) processes has become mission-critical. While general audits provide broad oversight, Thematic Audits of IT/IS Processes focus on specific, high-risk areas, helping organizations pinpoint weaknesses, mitigate emerging threats and meet regulatory expectations more effectively.
These audits are especially important for banks, NBFCs, cooperative institutions and fintechs operating under RBI’s increasingly risk-sensitive supervision.
