内外部安全审计压力很大，但至关重要。安全审计需要十分严格地测试控制的有效性、评估风险水平以及检查合规性。网络安全领导者（如首席信息安全官[CISO]）可以利用本研究报告为安全审计做好充分准备。
审计准备工作通常拖到最后一分钟才完成，缺乏对解决长期问题、实现持续改进、保持合规和满足外部审计要求的关注。
尽早确定关键联系人可以减轻压力，同时选择合适的专家分享细节并解决顾虑，避免造成临时混乱。
审计人员发现的重要问题之一是企业未能根据要求及时提供必要的安全文件和相关工件，因此需要强调持续维护这些材料的重要性。
证据收集不足和规划不善可能导致审计人员对某些领域的审计过于深入，从而造成不必要的延误或可能查出其他结果。
在安全审计开始之前，CISO等网络安全领导者及其团队应：
规范安全审计准备工作，将审计准备工作融入日常运营；
根据审计范围和审计人员在审计前提供的准备指南，确定关键联系人。
确定所需信息、收集相关文档，维护安全流程文档。
回顾过去的安全审计内容、优化证据存储和简化证据收集流程，提前为安全审计进行规划。
