A Remote Access Audit (RAA) is an assessment conducted to evaluate and ensure the security of remote access methods within an organization. These audits have become essential given the rise of remote work and associated security risks. This type of audit scrutinizes the various ways employees, contractors, and partners access corporate resources from remote locations. It examines factors such as authentication methods, encryption protocols, access controls, and monitoring capabilities. Remote Access Audits also check for compliance with internal policies and external regulations. By conducting this audit, organizations can identify potential vulnerabilities and areas of improvement, ensuring that their remote access mechanisms don’t become a weak link in their security posture.
