About Us

eValid8 Corporation was founded in May of 2003 to solve an emerging and continuing problem within the IT auditing industry.  Mr. Brian Dilley, founder and CEO of eValid8, recognized there was an urgent need for an alternative source for IT auditing so that companies could save time and money, while improving their image and reputation.

Our mission is to further IT auditing practices and standards to ensure that trust, compliance, and operational practices are assessed in a comprehensive, consistent, and unbiased manner.  Our philosophy is simple; work with our clients in a professional, involved, committed, proficient, and goal-oriented way. We thoroughly understand that our success is directly linked to the quality of our services and products.  Therefore, our goal is to deliver the best product possible to our customers and to work with them to improve our products. We believe that the terms "lesson learned and industry best practices" are ambiguous and impotent if not applied the a project so we work with our customers on a daily basis to ensure our lessons learned are applied.

Only by understanding the issue at hand, adapting to our clients' environment, adjusting our understanding of the problem, correcting faults, applying our knowledge, and validating the quality of our services after each engagement can we succeed in our mission.

Ethics Value Approach Loyalty Integrity Dedication are our hallmarks - We are changing the industry!
