If audits feel like paperwork purgatory, this conversation will change your mind. We unpack Domain 6 with a clear, practical path: how to scope a security audit that executives will fund, teams will follow, and regulators will respect. Along the way, we touch on a fresh angle in the news—an open source LLM tool sniffing out Python zero days—and connect it to what development shops can do right now to lower risk without slowing delivery.

We start by demystifying what a security audit is and how it differs from an assessment. Then we get into the decisions that matter: choosing one framework to anchor your work (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or PCI DSS where applicable), keeping policies lean enough to use under pressure, and building a scope that targets high-value processes like account provisioning or privileged access. You’ll hear why internal audits build muscle, external audits unlock credibility, and third-party audits protect your supply chain when a vendor stalls or gets breached. We talk straight about cost, bias, and the communication gaps that derail progress—and how to fix them.

From there we focus on outcomes. You’ll learn to prioritize incident response and third-party risk for the biggest return, write right-to-audit clauses that actually help, and map findings to business impact so leaders say yes to headcount and tooling. We share ways to pair tougher controls with enablement—like deploying a password manager before lengthening passphrases—so adoption sticks. Expect practical reminders on interview planning, evidence collection, and keeping stakeholders aligned without burning goodwill. It’s a playbook for turning findings into funding and audits into forward motion.
