Frequently asked questions

What does the $990 IT Audit include?
A half-day on-site visit by a CIO Tech engineer. We assess your Microsoft 365 environment, endpoints, servers, network, backups, and security posture. You receive a written Risk Report with findings, severity ratings, and a prioritised 90-day remediation roadmap.
How long does the audit take?
The on-site assessment takes 2 to 3 hours. Your written Risk Report is delivered within 5 business days.

No. The audit is a standalone service. You keep the report whether you work with us or not. There is no obligation and no sales pitch during the visit.
When do I get the report?
Within 5 business days of the on-site assessment. It is a written document, not a slide deck. Findings, severity ratings, and a prioritised action plan you can hand to any IT provider.
What areas do you assess?
Microsoft 365 configuration, endpoint security (EDR, patching, encryption), server and network infrastructure, backup and disaster recovery, user access and identity management, and Essential Eight alignment.

Four things to check this week

You do not need to wait for the audit to start improving your IT posture. Here are practical steps you can take right now.

Check your admin accounts

Log in to your Microsoft 365 admin centre and check how many global admin accounts exist. If more than two have admin access, that is a risk. Every admin account should have MFA enabled.

Test a backup restore

Ask your current IT provider: when was the last time a backup was successfully restored? If they cannot answer, or if it was more than 90 days ago, that is a red flag. Untested backups are not backups.

Count your unpatched devices

Check how many laptops and desktops are more than 30 days behind on Windows updates. Unpatched devices are the most common entry point for ransomware.

Review who has MFA

Multi-factor authentication should be on every user account, not just admins. If anyone in your business logs in with just a password, that account is one phishing email away from compromise.
