Objectives of a Cloud Security Audit
A cloud security audit aims to thoroughly assess the health and security of your cloud environment, including the data and applications hosted within it. Key objectives of this process include:
Establish Information Architecture
The audit helps define the network, security, and system requirements necessary to protect data, whether it’s at rest or in transit.
Align IT Resources with Business Goals
By evaluating the cloud environment, a cloud audit ensures that IT resources are aligned with your organization’s business strategies.
Identify and Mitigate Risks
The audit helps pinpoint potential risks to your cloud environment, such as security vulnerabilities, data access issues, and regulatory non-compliance.
Enhance IT Processes
An audit aids in developing documented, standardized, and repeatable processes for system management, information security, network access, and risk management, contributing to a more secure and reliable IT environment.
Evaluate Vendor Security Controls
Auditors assess the security control frameworks and reliability of the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) to ensure they meet necessary security standards.

Types of Cloud Security Audits
Cloud security audits can be categorized into two types: internal and external.
Internal Audits
Conducted by your own resources and employees, internal audits focus on evaluating the cloud infrastructure and data to identify vulnerabilities or compliance issues.
External Audits
 Performed by third-party organizations, external audits offer an objective review of the cloud environment, providing an unbiased assessment of security posture. While both audit types aim to assess security effectively, external audits are less likely to be biased compared to internal audits, which can sometimes be influenced by internal perspectives.
