What is an IT Health Check?
A simple way to understand your IT.
Businesses often know that their IT could be better, but do not always know where to start. Our free IT Health Check is an initial review designed to highlight obvious risks, gaps and opportunities.
We focus on the areas that matter most to a growing business: security, access, devices, Microsoft 365, backup and day-to-day reliability.
The aim is not to overwhelm you with technical jargon. We want you to understand what looks healthy, where the gaps may be and what is worth prioritising next.
What's included
Six areas we look at.
We tailor the conversation to your business, but these are the core areas we normally review.
Cyber Security
Look at the fundamentals around endpoint protection, email security, access and user awareness.
Devices & Users
Review how laptops, desktops and user access are managed across your business.
Backup & Recovery
Consider what is backed up, how recovery would work and whether important data could be restored.
Infrastructure
Discuss core network, cloud, server and connectivity considerations that affect reliability.
IT Improvements
Identify practical improvements that could make your IT more secure, reliable or easier to manage.
What you get
Useful findings, not a sales presentation.
After the initial discussion, we will explain the main observations in straightforward language and help you understand which areas deserve attention.
✓
Clear priorities
Understand what deserves attention first.
✓
Plain-English explanations
No unnecessary technical jargon.
✓
Practical next steps
Actions you can actually take to improve your IT.
✓
No obligation
You are free to take the recommendations and decide what to do next.
Who it's for
Especially useful for growing businesses.
You may benefit from a health check if your business is changing quickly, relying more heavily on cloud services or simply unsure whether your current IT setup is where it should be.
01
No internal IT team
You rely on ad-hoc support and want a clearer view of your technology.
02
Growing or changing
Your users, devices, locations or systems are becoming more complex.
03
Security concerns
You want reassurance that the basics around access, devices and data protection are being handled properly.
