The Problem We Solve

When you need experienced IT audit capacity.

Technology risk continues to expand while experienced IT audit resources can be difficult to add internally.

Hunter Audit Services provides principal-led support when an organization needs additional audit capacity, specialized cybersecurity and technology-control experience, or an independent senior auditor for a defined engagement.

Support can be provided for a single audit, a specialized assessment, an audit-plan requirement, a remediation effort or a continuing co-sourcing need.

A defined engagement

One audit, one assessment or one remediation review, scoped and delivered without a long-term commitment.

Audit-plan capacity

Coverage of the IT and cybersecurity areas in an annual audit plan that internal resources cannot reach this year.

Continuing co-sourcing

Recurring senior IT audit capacity working alongside an existing audit, GRC or consulting team.

Primary Services

Senior audit expertise, delivered four ways.

Independent Assessment

IT Audit & Cybersecurity Controls

Independent assessment of technology governance, cybersecurity controls and technology-risk environments — tested against evidence rather than reviewed against a questionnaire.

Added Capacity

Audit Co-Sourcing & Contract Support

Experienced senior IT audit capacity that can work independently or alongside an existing audit, GRC or consulting team, under your methodology and reporting standards.

Explore Co-Sourcing →
Independent Challenge

Independent Audit Quality Review

Independent senior review of workpapers, evidence, findings and draft reports before issuance, peer review or a difficult conclusion becomes an expensive problem.

Federal Environments

NIST / FISMA & Federal Controls

Federal audit experience applied to cybersecurity controls, audit readiness, remediation and NIST/FISMA-related environments — from someone who spent a career on the oversight side.
