Context
IT environments have become more complex, distributed, and dependent on third parties.
Cloud computing, remote work, integrations, vendors, and increasingly sophisticated attacks raise risk exposure, often without the organization even realizing it.
Without a structured audit, security decisions are often based on:
A Security Audit provides an objective view of the current landscape and builds the foundation and recommendations for technical, strategic, and regulatory decisions.
Overview
A Security Audit is a structured assessment of the organizational and technological environment, analyzing policies, processes, technical controls, and operational practices.
It identifies risks, control gaps, and non-compliance situations, providing a clear view of the organization's information security maturity level.
In many cases, the audit is the recommended first step to understand the current state and define security improvement priorities.
Security policies and procedures
Implemented technical controls
Team operational practices
Compliance with standards and regulations
Risk and incident management
Methodology
Our Security Audit goes beyond document verification. We assess how controls are applied in practice, considering the business context, technology environment, and sector-specific regulatory requirements.
We use internationally recognized standards and frameworks, adapting depth and scope to the organization's reality.
ISO/IEC 27001
ISO/IEC 27002
ISO/IEC 27005
ISO/IEC 27701
ISO/IEC 22301
ISO/IEC 27035
Process
Our audit follows a structured process that ensures comprehensive coverage and practical results for the organization.
Meetings, interviews, and analysis of the organizational and technological environment.
Evaluation of policies, processes, controls, and evidence.
Identification and prioritization of risks based on impact and likelihood.
Delivery of technical and executive reports with practical recommendations.
Certifications
Many companies use BrownPipe's Security Audit as a preparatory step for ISO certifications, such as ISO/IEC 27001, 27701, and 22301.
At the end of the project, the organization has a clear view of what needs to be adjusted, documented, or implemented to move forward with confidence in the certification process.
Important: we do not issue certifications, but we prepare your organization to enter the process with maturity, evidence, and confidence.
Identify gaps before the official audit

Common questions
It is a structured and independent assessment that analyzes an organization's policies, processes, technical controls, and operational practices. The goal is to identify risks, control gaps, and non-compliance situations, providing a clear view of security maturity and prioritized recommendations for improvement.
BrownPipe does not issue ISO certifications. That is done by accredited certification bodies. Our audit serves as preparation: we identify gaps, assess the level of adherence to requirements, and prioritize corrective actions so the company enters official certification with maturity and evidence.
Yes. ISO 27001 uses the term "should" in its controls. It does not prescribe exactly how to do things, but requires that a formalized process exists and is executed with maturity. The company defines its own workflows, approval levels, and exception categories, as long as decisions are documented. What the standard demands is not bureaucracy, but organization and traceability: knowing what was done, when, and why.
No. Implementation can and should be gradual, prioritized by criticality and return. Non-applicable controls can be excluded with documented justification. Planning can be done in short, medium, and long term, compatible with the company's pace. The important thing is to demonstrate progress: how many controls have been met, what the plan is for the next ones, and by when.
No. ISO 27001 involves organizational, people, physical, and technological controls. Areas such as HR, operations, and management will have responsibilities, from confidentiality agreements to training and disciplinary processes. Each role should have its security responsibilities mapped, and an internal compliance function is needed to audit control fulfillment across all areas.
It depends on the starting point and the company's pace. Six months would be very challenging; one year is feasible, though ambitious. The actual timeline only becomes clear after the diagnostic audit. The main risk is the project losing momentum: simple actions dragging on, and before you know it, a year has passed without concrete progress. The initial audit helps precisely to size up the effort and define a realistic timeline.
It depends on scope and organization size. Focused audits on specific areas can take 2 to 4 weeks. Full audits in complex environments may require 6 to 8 weeks. The schedule is defined in the planning phase, after understanding the context.
No. The process is based on interviews, document analysis, and evidence verification. We do not perform invasive tests or alter configurations. The team participates in occasional meetings with no impact on daily operations.
Yes. The audit assesses technical and organizational controls related to personal data protection, as required by Art. 46 of the LGPD (Brazilian General Data Protection Law). For projects with a specific focus on legal compliance, we offer a dedicated LGPD Compliance Support service.
A detailed technical report with findings, evidence, and prioritized recommendations, as well as an executive report for board presentation. We hold a presentation meeting to discuss results and address any questions.
We recommend annual audits or whenever significant changes occur in the environment, such as mergers, new regulations, incidents, or infrastructure changes. Companies undergoing ISO certification typically conduct semi-annual internal audits.
Assess your security posture before an external audit, incident, or regulatory demand.
