Where exactly is your money buried?
Business owners often see no reason for an IT audit while everything still works — and then ask for help once the loss is already unavoidable. An audit is the cheaper half of that sequence.
Four kinds of audit
Comprehensive audit
Lets you objectively assess every aspect of how the company’s IT system works.
Initial survey
Collection of the basic information about the infrastructure, its equipment and technical condition.
Audit of one criterion
Analysis from a particular angle: risk of failure, likelihood of data loss, performance of the system.
Business process audit
How the processes that involve IT actually run, who is responsible, and how well equipment and software are maintained.
Is it time for an audit?
There is a simple way to find out. If you answer yes to even one of these, a professional audit is worth having.
- You spend significant sums on IT and want the money used effectively
- You have no description or logical diagram of your infrastructure, and are unsure how backups happen
- You need to check how well the computer equipment is actually being maintained
- You want to see the bottlenecks that put the business at risk
- You care how satisfied staff are with the IT services they use every day
The report is the point
At the end of the audit you receive a report — and that is the tool for raising productivity and reducing risk. Before it starts, we sign an NDA.
