Cybersecurity audit for businesses
We review networks, systems, access and processes to detect real vulnerabilities, prioritise risks and give you an executable action plan. Technical, regulatory or both at the same time.
Review before you regret it; you do not know how much you expose until you look
Most companies discover their security flaws when it is already too late: after a breach, a warning from the AEPD, or a certification request that suddenly feels impossible.
A cybersecurity audit for businesses changes that order. It gives you full visibility over networks, servers, endpoints, users, policies and regulatory gaps, so you can act with evidence, not assumptions.
What a well-built cybersecurity audit includes
Maturity diagnosis
We assess where your company stands today in policies, controls and security culture. An objective starting point, with no assumptions, referenced against recognised frameworks.
Technical analysis
Vulnerability scanning, configuration review, network analysis and, if agreed, targeted pentesting under OWASP, PTES and NIST SP 800-115 methodologies.
Regulatory assessment
We review alignment with ENS, ISO 27001, NIS2 and GDPR where applicable. Gap analysis report to prepare for certification or support a legal obligation.
Report and plan
Executive deliverable for management plus detailed technical report. Every finding includes risk level, specific recommendation and executable priority by phase.
“THE VALUE IS IN THE REPORT, NOT IN THE SCARE”
What changes after an audit in your company
Data-based decisions
You prioritise investments with technical criteria, not intuition.
You comply without stress
ENS, ISO 27001, NIS2 and GDPR with a clear roadmap.
Fewer operational surprises
You detect the gaps before attackers do.
You save on incidents
Prevention is much cheaper than recovery.
Arguments for clients
Reports and metrics to defend your position in tenders and due diligence processes.
Continuity plan
The audit lays the foundation for the next step: a master plan or certification.
‘Very professional. We’ve been working together for many years and will continue to do so for many more!’

Six signs of
a badly done audit
If all the work comes down to filling in a template and sending a colour-coded Excel file, you are buying paperwork, not security. How to recognise it.
They send you a template and that is it
Nobody visits your office or connects to your systems
They do not cite recognised methodologies
The auditor is not certified
The report does not prioritise risks
There is no plan afterwards
When it makes sense
to run a cybersecurity audit
Before a certification
You are going for ENS, ISO 27001 or NIS2 applies to you. The initial audit (gap analysis) tells you the real distance to compliance and how much work lies ahead, with closed timelines and costs.
After an incident or warning
You have suffered an attempted attack, a minor breach or a supplier warning. The post-incident audit confirms the real scope of the problem, closes open doors and documents what happened.
Because a client or public body requires it
Public tenders, contracts with large accounts and suppliers that require proof of security. The audit gives you a certifiable report that you can attach to tenders and renewals.
As an annual periodic review
Your company already has measures in place, but threats change every year. An annual review detects new exposures, validates that controls are still alive and justifies your position to management.

FAQs
about cybersecurity audits
What is a cybersecurity audit?
It is a technical and documentary assessment of a company’s systems, networks, processes and policies with the aim of detecting vulnerabilities, measuring the real level of protection and delivering a prioritised plan to close the identified gaps.
How much does a cybersecurity audit cost?
The indicative range for a standard SME goes from a few thousand euros for limited audits to €15,000–€25,000 projects for complete regulatory scopes. After a first call, we provide a fixed quote based on your size, locations and required technical depth.
How long does a cybersecurity audit take?
Between 2 and 6 weeks from kick-off, depending on scope. A limited technical audit closes in 2–3 weeks; a complete audit with a regulatory component (ISO 27001, NIS2) can take 5–6 weeks with interviews across several departments.
How is it different from pentesting?
The audit looks at the whole picture (policies, compliance, technical layer and processes); pentesting focuses on exploiting specific vulnerabilities. Pentesting can be part of the audit, but the audit has a broader view and delivers an action plan, not just findings.
What is the difference between an internal and an external audit?
An internal audit is carried out by the company’s own staff; an external audit is performed by an independent third party. For tenders, ISO/ENS certifications and proof to clients, only the external audit works. The internal one is useful for continuous follow-up between external audits.
Can the audit help with NIS2 or ISO 27001 compliance?
Yes, it is usually the first step. The initial audit works as a gap analysis: it tells you what you already comply with, what is missing and how much work is needed for certification. Then the master plan is rolled out and the external certification audit is prepared.
Can I finance it with Kit Consulting?
Yes. Kit Consulting finances specialised cybersecurity advisory for SMEs, and an audit fits within its Basic or Advanced packages. We help you process the application and fit the audit scope within the available voucher.
