Internal Audit Meets Cybersecurity: A New Assurance Model for Caribbean Organisations

July 22, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary The previous article in this series ended with a rule every well-governed board eventually adopts: for each material cyber assertion, the board must be able to answer “how do we know that is true?” Much of the answer flows through one function — internal audit.

Cybersecurity Is No Longer an IT Issue: Why Caribbean Boards Must Treat It as an Enterprise Risk

Cybersecurity as an Audit Mandate: The Topical Requirement Caribbean Firms Can’t Ignore

July 19, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

For years, cybersecurity occupied a strange place on Caribbean audit plans: acknowledged as important, deferred as specialist, and scoped down to whatever the function felt qualified to look at — usually access forms and password policies.
