Topical Requirements are a mandatory element of the International Professional Practices Framework® to be used with the Global Internal Audit Standards. They have been introduced to support internal auditors by providing clear criteria when performing audit engagements in particular risk areas. With their specialist focus, Topical Requirements will aid the internal audit professional and elevate the internal audit profession.

In February 2025, the IIA will release the first of its Topical Requirements. We invite you to learn about the Topical Requirement for Cybersecurity and how internal audit functions approach adoption and implementation.

• Understand why Cybersecurity risk continues to be a top internal audit priority.
