Maximize audit efficiency with Arrka
Privacy & Security compliance programs are critical to an organization. Hence auditing them is crucial.
However, this is easier said than done. Auditors often do not have access to the right trained and skilled resources. Much time is spent on management & coordination rather than the actual audit.
