The Information Technology (IT) Audit group of the OIG conducts independent audits of SEPTA’s IT systems and processes. This includes assessing SEPTA’s ability to protect its information assets and ensure data integrity, confidentiality, and availability. IT audits use best practice benchmarks for compliance with cybersecurity frameworks and guidance from federal regulators. The OIG is committed to continuous improvement. This means that the IT audit process is ongoing and not just a one-time event. The goal is to identify areas for improvement and implement changes to enhance SEPTA’s IT operations and cybersecurity posture.
Because IT Audit reports may contain sensitive details about security vulnerabilities and areas of risk, they are not published here. Below is a list of the completed IT audits, in accordance with the annual Audit Plan.
