Conducting a security audit for a small business

A security audit is a process of evaluating the security of a company’s IT infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, risks, and potential threats. This use case describes the process of conducting a security audit for a small business to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities.

Actors:

  • Security Auditor
  • Small Business Owner/Representative

Preconditions:

  • The small business has a functional IT infrastructure.
  • The small business owner has agreed to have a security audit conducted.

Basic Flow:

  • The security auditor reviews the IT infrastructure and identifies the assets to be evaluated. This includes servers, workstations, routers, switches, and other network devices.
  • The security auditor reviews the security policies and procedures in place, including access control, data backup, and disaster recovery plans.
  • The security auditor performs vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities in the IT infrastructure.
  • The security auditor analyzes the results of the vulnerability scans and penetration testing to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities.
  • The security auditor provides a detailed report to the small business owner with recommendations to mitigate the identified risks and vulnerabilities.

Alternative Flow: If the security auditor identifies a critical vulnerability, the small business owner may request immediate action to address the vulnerability.
If the small business owner disagrees with the findings of the security audit, they may request a second opinion from another security auditor.

Postconditions: The small business owner receives a detailed report of the security audit.
The small business owner takes necessary actions to mitigate the identified risks and vulnerabilities.

Exceptional Flow: If the security auditor finds evidence of a security breach, they will immediately notify the small business owner and the appropriate authorities.

If the security audit is disrupted due to technical issues or unexpected circumstances, the security auditor will reschedule the audit with the small business.
