Technology Audit Services

Almost every audit turns up the same category of surprise: devices nobody can account for, accounts belonging to people who left, software still installed after the project that needed it finished, and a licence count that no longer matches headcount. None of this is negligence. It is what happens when a business grows faster than its record-keeping. Establishing an accurate baseline is most of the value, because every later decision depends on knowing what you actually have.

A vulnerability on an internal print server behind a firewall is not the same as an exposed remote access service with a shared password, even if a scanner scores them similarly. Context decides severity: what the system touches, who can reach it, and what happens if it stops. We rank findings by that rather than by raw score, so effort goes where it changes the outcome.

How a new starter gets their accounts, how a leaver loses them, who approves a change, and whether anyone checks the backup restored are all process questions that no scan detects. They are also where most real incidents begin. An audit that only looks at boxes and software misses the half of the picture that people actually operate.

Findings are written to be read by a director as well as an engineer, with the reasoning visible rather than a bare list of severities. That matters when the audit exists because a customer, an insurer or a board asked for assurance, because the person asking is rarely the person who will implement the fixes.
