IT Infrastructure Assessment

FOR BUSINESSES IN EVERY INDUSTRY

Know where your IT really stands - before it costs you.

Most teams only find their IT and security gaps the hard way - during an outage, a breach, or a failed audit. A thorough, vendor-neutral assessment finds them first, and hands you a clear plan to fix them - whether you stay with your current IT or not.

WHY IT PAYS OFF

A real assessment pays for itself - fast

Every number below came out of an environment we assessed this year.

Every one
Of the environments we assessed had multi-factor authentication switched on but never actually enforced.

Findings in a typical assessment, and every one we have delivered surfaced at least one rated Critical.

IS THIS YOU?

Made for the person who keeps the business running

You're the office manager or operations lead - you own the vendors, the staff, the day-to-day, and the quiet worry that a security slip could land on your desk. You don't want to become an IT expert. You want to know you're covered.

A diverse team of business professionals - office manager, operations lead, owner and finance manager

Who usually asks us for one

  • Office managers
  • Operations leads
  • Owners & CEOs
  • Finance & admin teams
  • IT coordinators & internal IT
  • Incoming leadership

"Are we actually compliant?"

You sign off on security and compliance - but you're not sure it would hold up to an audit.

"Staff keep signing up for new apps."

AI note-takers and cloud tools touching company data, often with no agreement in place.

"When the system's down, we stop."

Every hour the system freezes means lost revenue and frustrated customers.

"Is our current IT actually doing the job?"

You've wondered - but you have no evidence either way.

EVERY INDUSTRY

One assessment, built for any industry

Good IT and security rest on the same fundamentals everywhere - we simply tailor the assessment to how your industry actually runs. A few of the industries we serve:

...and plenty more. If your business runs on IT, we can assess it.

What's at stake if you don't look

The reason a real assessment pays for itself - the cost of getting this wrong is not small, in any industry.

WHY BUSINESSES RUN ONE

Every reason points the same way: do it before you're forced to

The gaps that hurt most are the ones nobody is watching - and they rarely wait for a convenient time.

Your compliance obligation

HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, cyber-insurance - regulators and insurers now expect a real assessment, and penalize the businesses that skip it.

Cyber-insurance renewal

Renewals demand attestations you can't truthfully make without knowing your environment. Get the facts before your deadline hits.

Before an incident forces it

The worst time to learn your backups failed is mid-ransomware. Find the gaps now, while fixing them is still a choice and not an emergency.

A credible second opinion

"Is our IT actually doing its job?" Get evidence, not opinion - before you renew a contract you're not sure about.

Switching or reviewing IT

Changing providers or onboarding new leadership? Start from a clean, vendor-neutral baseline everyone can trust.

Growth, M&A or an audit ahead

Scaling, acquiring, or facing due diligence? Walk in with your IT documented and defensible - not scrambling at the deadline.

WHAT HAPPENS

A real assessment, in three steps

No mystery, and no disruption - we don't take your systems down or interrupt your operations.

1

On-site or remote review

We analyze your environment and scan your network - on-site or fully remote, whichever fits - and map how your team actually works.

4 hours on-site, or 2 hours remote

2

Assessing & reporting

We turn what we found into two clear documents - one for your engineers, one for your leadership.

A few business days

3

Findings call

We walk you through what we found and what we recommend - and you decide where to go from there.

One remote meeting

Total time: about 1-2 weeks, from your review to your findings call.

Curious what we'd actually check in your environment?

Below: exactly what we review, what's in and out of scope, and how we rate what we find.

Book my 15-minute call →

WHAT WE REVIEW

What we review (and what we don't)

A credible assessment is honest about its edges. Here's the line we draw.

In scope

  • Network edge and firewall
  • Switching and wireless
  • Servers and cloud identity
  • Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant - licensing, admin roles and MFA enforcement
  • A representative sample of workstations
  • Backup and recovery posture
  • Endpoint security stack - what's installed vs. what you're billed for
  • Industry-specific equipment (POS, kiosks, imaging, lab, or line-of-business terminals)

Deliberately out of scope

  • Active penetration testing or live exploitation
  • A 100% workstation-by-workstation audit - business-critical machines stay in use
  • Anything we weren't given access to - flagged clearly, and picked up at no charge during onboarding if you proceed

WHAT WE INSPECT

Everything we lay eyes on

Inside the review, here is the ground we cover - end to end.

Connectivity

Internet, WAN & edge

How your sites connect, your firewall, and what's exposed to the outside world.

Internal network

Switching, wireless & VLANs

How traffic moves inside your network - and whether guest, operational, and admin zones are properly separated.

Identity

Sign-in & access

How people log in, who has access, and whether access leaves when staff do.

Core systems

Servers & cloud

Where your data and key applications live, and how they're protected.

Devices

Endpoints & specialized gear

Workstations, mobile devices, phones, UPS - plus the industry-specific terminals nobody usually checks.

Protection

Security: observed vs. billed

We verify the security you're paying for is actually running. It often isn't.

HOW FINDINGS WORK

Rated by risk, written in plain English

Every finding gets a severity so you know what to fix first - and none of it hides behind jargon.

Critical

Fix-now exposure - the things that could cause a breach, a compliance violation, or downtime. Each gets real detail.

High

Serious gaps to close soon, each explained so you and your team understand the stakes.

Medium

Worth addressing as you stabilize - documented so nothing quietly slips.

Low

Minor housekeeping and hardening. Logged so you have the full picture, not because it is urgent.

A finding we still think about

"They were paying an IT company every month and assumed they were covered. We got on a screen share and looked. No monitoring agent, no next-generation antivirus, no threat detection. What they had was a browser plug-in they thought was their antivirus. A few months later their email was compromised, about seventy-five phishing messages went out under their name, and their IT company billed them separately to clean it up."

WHAT IT'S WORTH TO YOU

Two things you can do the moment you have it

Operations manager reviewing an IT assessment checklist with two IT technicians
01

Hold your current IT accountable - take documented findings to your provider and ask them to fix what's wrong, with evidence in hand.

IT budget benchmark comparison showing current spend versus a right sized monthly cost
02

Benchmark what IT should cost - get a clear number for what proper IT & security runs for an organization like yours.
