Information Technology (IT) Audit is an important element in maintaining the security and effectiveness of information systems in modern businesses that increasingly rely on technology. With the implementation of new technologies such as cloud computing, Mobile Device Management (MDM), and the Internet of Things (IoT), the need for effective IT audits is increasingly urgent to identify and mitigate risks. The study highlights the role of IT audits in ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations, such as GDPR, as well as in building organizational awareness of data protection. The findings show that while technologies like ERP offer efficiency, proper controls are indispensable to protecting information assets. With a proactive approach, IT auditors can provide recommendations for improving systems and support organizations in creating a strong data protection culture.
