Abstract

This essay aims to be an argumentative discussion on a present issue, which involves both companies, regulatory bodies and external auditors, and for which the latter are beginning to adapt the planning and execution of some of their work. It will also try to analyze the issue from a context that is new and changing in Latin America at times, but trying to provide an understanding of the issue from the observation of how this situation has begun to be addressed by regulatory bodies and auditing firms in the United States. and Europe.

On the other hand, this essay tries to provide a vision of the future on how new needs for assurance work could begin to emerge from companies and provide some tools that the external auditor could count on to carry out their work in cybersecurity audits.
