IT Audit Services
An IT Audit focusses on more than just your technology. It provides you with a holistic overview of your IT and how that fits with your business plans, highlighting opportunities and benefits, as well as risks.
We understand that you are most likely caught up in the day-to-day running of your business. We also recognise that IT often doesn’t get the focus it needs to ensure that it continues to meet your requirements and/or if there are technology alternatives available that could potentially transform your operations.
Our IT Audit team have a deep understanding of industry best practice. They also bring with them a multitude of recognised credentials, as well as a wealth of experience.
They will produce a comprehensive IT audit report that includes a complete review of your:
- Servers and Desktops
- Networking and Security
- Applications and licensing
- Hosting and Internet Access
- Backup and Disaster Recovery
- Telephony
- IT Team and stakeholders
- Technology Suppliers and Costs
A thorough gap-analysis will highlight any areas of concern and ways to consolidate, rationalise and make cost savings, while also uncovering ways to improve performance, productivity and efficiency across your business will be uncovered.
Helping you Understand your Current IT Setup Better, Reducing Risk Related to IT
Your IT Audit will provide you with valuable information that will help you tackle any risks related to the availability, integrity and confidentiality of your data and technology. This will allow you to improve the reliability, effectiveness and efficiency of your IT systems and services.
Uncovering the Source of Performance Issues
Your IT Audit will help uncover the source of any performance issues and will provide advice on the course of action you can take to eliminate or reduce those issues, which will help with your team’s satisfaction, productivity and effectiveness.
Helps Enhance your IT Governance, Bolstering your Control and helping ensure Data Security
It is crucial that your business follows all local laws, industry regulations and compliances. Your audit will help identify if you are falling short, which will allow you to make changes in order to ensure compliance. That will, in turn, help improve your IT governance as you will have a much better understanding of the controls, risks and value of your technology and data.
A list of Actionable Suggestions that can help form the Basis of your IT Strategy and Roadmap going forward
You will get recommendations based on the IT audit that will identify where you could do better. You can then prioritise those and use them to help ensure that your technology fully supports your business goals. That could be actions to reduce your support issues, ensuring you have up-to-date software across your business or that your security is fit for purpose in an evolving cyber-security landscape, for example.
Knowing that you are getting the Most from your Systems and IT Investment
At the same time, it is important that you demonstrate a positive return on your existing investment in technology. Your IT audit will uncover inefficiencies and will help you ensure that you are utilising your assets optimally.
A Sanity Check of your Systems to Ensure you are Running Optimally
Often it takes an independent set of eyes to spot issues or raise thought provoking questions. Our experienced team will be able to sanity check your technology setup, make sure you have reliable systems in place and generally ensure that you are paying the right amount to your technology vendors.
