Top 3 Audit Challenges and How to Overcome Them

I wrote an article for Netwrix about the challenges I’ve run into when doing customer security assessments/audits. And I tried my best to offer good advice on how to overcome these challenges. Specifically, the article discusses how:

• Lack of communication undermines your work

• Scope creep costs everyone time and money

• Audits that are full of shame and blame are demeaning and unproductive
