Security audits are essential to assess the health of an organization's security infrastructure and protect data. They aim to ensure compliance with international security standards, as well as to protect organizations' customer data, privacy, and physical assets. The following reasons make security audits more important:

Vulnerability Detection: Security audits identify and expose weaknesses and deficiencies in systems and help improve the organization's security level. For example, outdated encryption methods, weak password policies, and security gaps can expose organizations to serious risks.

Risk Mitigation: Organizations can minimize these risks by providing recommendations for identified vulnerabilities. These audits help prevent data leaks or failed security measures.

Defense Against Attacks: Security audits verify the effectiveness of existing defense measures against threats such as hacker attacks, Trojans, and viruses. These measures also include steps related to the organization's network security and internet security.

Compliance and Regulatory Response: Every organization’s security policies and procedures must be in line with applicable legal requirements. Compliance audits for GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and other regulatory requirements ensure that the organization is in compliance with the law.

Increase Customer and Public Trust: The results of a security audit show customers that the organization is taking serious measures to protect its data and gain their trust. Also, disclosing information about the organization’s security builds public trust in the company.

Accountability and Improvement: Security audits ensure that the organization’s activities are regularly reviewed. This ensures that security procedures are continuously improved and prepared for new potential threats.
