These specialists, each of whom holds one or more certifications, are available to provide remote support and technical expertise to all CHAN Auditors, or can be an integral part of the CHAN team for your healthcare system.

Our IT Auditors focus on assessing whether appropriate controls are in place to reduce the risks associated with using IT systems to perform critical processes. We use proven methodologies to assess IT risks, such as system losses, and data confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Our IT Audit services include:

Pre-implementation and post-implementation application reviews — We can assess the controls for specific applications or business processes, including input controls, processing controls, output controls and access controls.

System development audits — These audits provide assurance that a project plan design, structure and management are effective and efficient, and that information received from the system is complete, accurate, authorized, consistent, timely, relevant and used for its intended purpose.

System and network security reviews — These include security audits of wireless networks and technologies.

Client business continuity and disaster recovery planning — These audits provide assurance that you have the systems and controls in place should disaster strike.
