INFORMATION SECURITY AUDITOR

Save to Favorites

The volunteer Information Security Auditor will visit the work sites of CTA’s nonprofit partners (homeless shelters and other sites providing supportive services to people in need) to evaluate their information security, including verifying virus protection, checking firewalls, looking for unencrypted data stored on hard drives, ensuring that passwords are not exposed, and confirming that paper copies of files are also adequately secured.

The volunteer Information Security Auditor will also evaluate the physical security of workstations (visibility of monitors, accessibility of printers). The volunteer will complete the audit in partnership with a site manager, or IT professional associates with the nonprofit. The audit will include both hands-on investigations of employee work stations, and interviews with employees, managers and IT professionals. At the end of the audit, the auditor must complete a written report to be submitted to CTA documenting findings and offering recommendations to the nonprofit for security enhancements.
