IT Consulting: what you need to know
Before investing in a new server, migrating to the cloud or changing providers, you need a clear assessment. An IT audit documents the existing setup, identifies vulnerabilities and defines a realistic roadmap. Our articles cover the strategic questions SME leaders ask: where to start, what budget to plan, how to prioritize.
An audit should define its evidence, tests, exclusions and expected deliverables before work begins.
Audit duration and deliverables depend on the scope and authorised tests.

How does an IT audit work?
Define the systems, evidence, authorised tests, exclusions, stakeholders and deliverables first. Duration and output depend on that written scope.
What is an IT strategic plan?
An IT strategic plan is the roadmap that aligns IT investments with business objectives over 2-3 years. It prioritizes projects (cloud migration, network overhaul, cybersecurity) and defines the associated budget.
