Mind the IT Skills gap - Enabling smooth business & IT integration
Consider an Internal Auditor with a background in economics or law assigned to audit a Payroll system. Without basic IT knowledge, detecting a virus in the system becomes a challenging task. The auditor may struggle to identify unusual patterns or anomalies caused by the virus, potentially overlooking a security threat. A lack of IT understanding in this position not only compromises the accuracy of the audit but also leaves the organization vulnerable to potential data breaches and payroll errors that may go unnoticed.
Think about the same person being asked to oversee the integration of a supplier-developed application linking the ordering system to the warehouse. Without fundamental networking knowledge, the auditor may find it difficult to comprehend and validate the information provided. Ineffectively communicating with the IT team and supplier, the auditor risks overseeing critical installation errors or misconfigurations that could disrupt the ordering and warehouse processes. A basic understanding of networking is crucial in this context to ensure the seamless functioning of the application and prevent operational disruptions.
