As organizations become increasingly dependent on technology, strong IT Governance, Cybersecurity, and Technology Risk Management are essential to maintaining a secure and resilient capital market.

𝗖𝗠𝗜𝗖 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗺 𝗡𝗼. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱-𝟬𝟬𝟵 reminds Trading Participants of the requirement to undergo an independent review and audit of their Information Technology (IT) Systems, Trading Systems, Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, and Risk Management Systems. These independent assessments help evaluate whether key IT controls, internal controls, security controls, business continuity capabilities, and risk management practices are designed and operating effectively.

Beyond supporting regulatory compliance, independent IT reviews strengthen IT Governance, enhance operational and cyber resilience, and help organizations improve their overall control environment against evolving technology and cybersecurity risks.

Understanding regulatory requirements and industry best practices is an important step toward building a more secure, resilient, and trusted Philippine capital market.

Having controls in place is a good start,
but without proper testing and review, there’s no assurance they are working as intended.

Many issues are only discovered when:
An audit is performed
An incident happens
Or data is already affected

That’s why regular review and validation of controls is critical.

Are your controls giving you real protection or just comfort?

If your IT controls fail today… will you even know what’s at risk tomorrow?

IT Audit goes beyond compliance - it makes sure your controls are actually working and protecting your business when it matters most.

Some control gaps are not easy to see until they become a real problem. Understanding your current controls is the first step to improving them.

21/04/2026

Even with systems in place, many businesses still have control gaps that are often overlooked.

Based on our experience, these are some of the common areas where gaps exists. Many of which are not immediately visible but can expose the business to risks over time.

The good news is that once these gaps are identified, they can be addressed through the right controls, processes, and awareness.

𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘃𝘀 𝗜𝗧 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁 - 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲?

Many businesses invest in cybersecurity tools and assume they are already secure. In reality, gaps can still exist when there is no independent check to confirm that controls are complete and actually working.

These two functions serve different but complementary purposes. 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 focuses on protecting your systems and data from threats, while 𝗜𝗧 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁 ensures that your controls are properly in place and operating as intended.

Both are essential in managing risks effectively. Having security tools alone does not guarantee that your business is secure, what matters is knowing that your controls are complete, effective, and consistently followed.

In short, cybersecurity protects, while IT Audit validates.
Don’t rely on tools alone, make sure they are working as intended.
