Configuration Audit

Definitions

1. A review of system, cloud, or application settings to verify they match approved security baselines and do not expose risky misconfigurations. Configuration audits are a key way to catch drift before it turns into breach conditions.

   In plain English: A review of settings to check whether systems are configured securely.

   Example: "The configuration audit found publicly exposed storage buckets that had never gone through the normal review path."
