Description: The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Audit is a systematic review and evaluation process aimed at ensuring that a PKI operates in accordance with its established policies and standards. This process involves verifying the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of PKI components, including digital certificate management, the certificate authority (CA), and revocation procedures. The audit is conducted by collecting objective evidence, conducting interviews, and reviewing documents, allowing for the identification of potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement. Additionally, the audit ensures that the PKI complies with applicable regulations and standards, which is essential for maintaining the trust of users and organizations that rely on the infrastructure for the security of their communications and transactions. In an environment where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated, PKI auditing becomes a critical practice to ensure that implemented security measures are effective and that the infrastructure continues to operate securely and reliably.
