About IT audits

What is an IT audit?

An IT audit is an independent review of your technology: your network, hardware, software, data, backups, security and IT contracts. It shows what is working, what isn’t and what to do next.

Why would we need an independent audit?

An independent audit gives you an honest second opinion. It is useful before a big IT investment, when you are unsure you are getting value from your current provider, or after a problem or security incident.

Will the audit upset our current IT provider or staff?

We keep the process non-confrontational. We work with your internal IT team and external providers, not against them, and focus on improving your systems rather than assigning blame.

What do you need from us?

At the first meeting, we’ll give you a list of requirements. This usually includes administrator access, your IT documentation, key IT contacts and any current IT contracts.

Reports and next steps

What do we get at the end?

You get a clear report covering the strengths and weaknesses of your IT, the risks we found and practical recommendations, ranked so you can tackle the most important first.

Is the audit confidential?

Yes. All audits are carried out in strict commercial confidence, and if you prefer, we report only to the people you choose.

Can you review IT proposals from other companies?

Yes. We can act as a second set of eyes on IT proposals and quotes, so you can check they suit your needs and offer good value.

Can you help put the recommendations in place?

Yes. We can help you plan and manage the changes, working with your team and vendors to keep disruption to a minimum.
