Auditing end user computing is a strategy to reduce risk and protect the company’s assets. The benefits of end user computing audit programs include a better understanding of how data is used, improved security, and reduced compliance costs.
Understanding Data Use
End user computing audit programs provide organizations with insights into how data is used throughout the organization. Everything from hack attempts to employee productivity can be analyzed and reported on. Understanding employee data use can help the organization reach better decisions about workflow optimization, user training, and policy changes.
Improved Security
The primary goal of any audit program is to identify the potential threats and risks to an organization. Audits of end user computing can help an organization better understand who is accessing critical data, where those users are accessing the data from, and what types of security measures are being used. This information can be used to identify and mitigate security risks such as malware, viruses, and social engineering attacks.
