Technology Assurance From Auditors Who Understand Risk
Your finance, customer data and daily operations now run on systems most boards never see. When those systems fail or get breached, the damage is financial, legal and reputational at the same time. Bilal Arsalan & Co. provides cyber security audit services in Karachi that look at technology the way an auditor should: through risk, controls and evidence.
As a QCR rated firm in Karachi, we bring the same independence and documentation discipline to IT audit services in Pakistan that we apply to financial audits. That means findings your management can act on and reports your bank, regulator or client can rely on.
Our reviews are built for banks, fintechs, software houses, hospitals, manufacturers, NGOs and listed companies that face security questions from regulators and clients every year.
Why Unchecked Technology Risk Costs More Than You Think
Most breaches do not start with sophisticated hackers. They start with shared passwords, unpatched servers, former employees who still have access and backups nobody has tested. At the same time, teams are adopting AI tools faster than anyone can review how those tools use company data.
These risks rarely appear in management reports until something goes wrong. An independent review finds them while they are still cheap to fix.
Data Breach Exposure
Weak access controls leave customer and financial data open to misuse.
Regulatory Penalties
Gaps against SBP, SECP or client security requirements can cost fines and contracts.
Unmanaged AI Risk
AI tools used without clear policies can leak data or make unreliable decisions.
Our IT, Cyber Security and AI Audit Services
Our work covers information systems audit, an IT general controls review for statutory audit reliance, cyber risk assessments, an ISO 27001 gap assessment, business continuity and disaster recovery reviews, and data privacy audit work. We also review the scope and results of penetration tests, so management understands what the technical findings actually mean.
For banks, microfinance institutions and payment companies, we assess your controls against the SBP Enterprise Technology Governance and Risk Management Framework to support SBP IT governance compliance. For other organisations, we benchmark against ISO/IEC 27001, COBIT and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
Our AI audit services address a newer problem. We review how AI tools are selected, trained, monitored and governed, using ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework as reference points. The goal is AI that is useful, explainable and under control.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions About IT and Cyber Security Audits
What is included in a cyber security audit?
A review of access controls, network security, data protection, backups, incident response and policies against standards such as ISO 27001.
How is an IT audit different from penetration testing?
Penetration testing tries to break into systems. An IT audit checks whether controls and processes are designed and working properly. Both work best together.
What is an AI audit?
It reviews how your organisation governs AI tools, including data use, accuracy, bias, security and human oversight.
Do banks in Pakistan need IT audits?
Yes. SBP expects banks and other regulated institutions to have independent reviews of technology governance and information security.
How often should we audit our IT systems?
Most organisations benefit from a yearly review, plus a focused check after major system changes or a security incident.
