Abstract
The increasing dependence of organisations on complex, interconnected information systems has heightened exposure to cyber threats, operational disruptions, and systemic vulnerabilities. Security breaches, data loss incidents, service outages, and compliance failures have demonstrated that traditional, compliance-oriented security controls are insufficient for ensuring long-term information system resilience. Consequently, security auditing and enterprise risk assessment have evolved from isolated assurance activities into strategic governance mechanisms aimed at strengthening organisational resilience. This paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of security audit and enterprise risk assessment frameworks relevant to resilient information systems, drawing exclusively on literature published. The study reviews foundational audit models, risk assessment methodologies, governance standards, and resilience-oriented security paradigms, highlighting their strengths, limitations, and areas of convergence. By integrating insights from information systems security, risk management, internal control, and organisational resilience research, the paper develops a structured perspective on how security audits and enterprise risk assessments can be aligned to support robust, adaptive, and trustworthy information systems. The findings contribute to both academic and practitioner discourse by clarifying the role of assurance and risk assessment in achieving sustained information system resilience.
