What Does The Technology Audit Include?

The audit will typically include an analysis of the company's network, servers, desktop computers, backup systems, and any other systems that are used to support the company's operations. A technology audit is a comprehensive assessment of all the technology that your company uses.

Your technology audit will include an analysis of the following:

Your technology process and roadmap
Your technology tools and assets
Your technology structure
Your technology team
Your technology reporting
Your technology effectiveness

Our Process

To ensure our audits are completed effectively, we now have 6 phases for each of our projects:

Define - What are we doing here? Get clear on the objective.
Discover - What exists? Get clear on what is through research and exploration.
Discuss - How can we make this epic? Collaborate on the best possible outcome.
Develop - Do the work. Build. Create. Put it together.
Detect - What are the results? Publish intentionally and consistently. Use data to learn.
Deepen - How can we make this better? Optimize.

How long does it take to complete an IT audit?

It audits can be conducted in-house or by an outside firm. When performed internally, an IT audit is usually focused on specific areas of the organization's technology use, such as security or compliance. In some cases, an internal audit may be necessary if you have multiple departments that use different systems and need to ensure everyone is on the same page with their IT use. If your company uses multiple systems and needs to standardize its processes and practices across departments, an external audit may be a better choice for you.

How long does it take to complete an IT audit?

The length of time needed to complete an IT audit depends on many factors including: The size of your organization (the larger the organization, the longer it will take); how much time each person dedicates towards completing the audit; and what type of system you're using (for example: Cloud-based systems are typically faster than on-premise solutions).

What kind of information do I need to gather before I begin a technology audit?

You'll need to know what applications are currently in place, what kind of hardware you're using, and what type of software licenses (if any) you have purchased. You'll also want to consider how each department uses technology within the company and where it currently falls short in terms of efficiency or productivity. Additionally, consider how much money has been spent on IT over the past year—this can help give you an idea of how much funding might be available for updating equipment or purchasing new software licenses.

Why should I get a technology audit?

If you want to improve your business processes, save money, or stay competitive in your industry, then getting an audit is definitely worth it. A good tech audit will give you insight into what's working well with your current systems and where there are opportunities for improvement—plus ways to move forward with those improvements.

Who should perform my company's technology audit?

A third-party ISV (independent software vendor) can perform your company's technology audit, but it's best if they have experience working with companies similar to yours in size and industry.
