IT systems usually grow in layers: a server added here, business software there, backups “to check one day”. An audit puts you back in control: what exists, what works, and what exposes the company.
Here are the seven points our consultants examine first.
1. Asset inventory
Workstations, servers, network equipment, licences: without a reliable inventory you can neither plan a budget nor respond quickly to an incident.
2. Network infrastructure
Cabling, switches, Wi-Fi, remote access: we measure real performance and identify single points of failure.
3. Workstation and server security
Up-to-date certified antivirus, patches applied, admin accounts under control: these are the first barriers against cyberattacks.
4. Backup policy
A backup only exists if restoring it has been tested. We check frequency, location (on-premise, cloud) and recovery time.
5. Business software
Usage rate, unused features, gaps against management standards: under-used software is expensive.
6. Fit with business needs
Does your IT follow the company’s strategy? That is the purpose of an IT master plan (SDSI).
7. Action plan
Every finding leads to a recommendation with budget, timeline and reliability figures, so you can decide with full information.
