What is an IT Technical Audit?
A technical audit is an independent review of your business technology. It gives you an honest, evidence-based picture of where things stand and a clear path forward.
Most businesses in the North West have grown quickly, and their IT has grown with them. Systems get patched together over time without a clear plan. The result is hidden inefficiencies, security gaps and hardware that is quietly costing more than it should.
Theo Technologies carries out structured technical audits that cut through the complexity. We examine your infrastructure from the ground up, covering servers, endpoints, cloud services, network architecture and your compliance position. Every finding is documented in plain English with a clear priority level and a recommended action.
Whether you are planning a migration, working towards Cyber Essentials certification or simply want confidence in your current setup, an audit from Theo Technologies gives you the facts.
What is covered in your audit
Performance Analysis
Slow systems cost your team time every single day. Our performance analysis identifies bottlenecks, underperforming hardware and misconfigurations that are dragging productivity down.
We look at server and endpoint performance, network throughput and latency, cloud resource utilisation, application response times, storage capacity and how well your infrastructure supports remote and hybrid working.
Compliance Checks
Regulatory requirements and cyber insurance demands are tightening. Our compliance checks tell you exactly where you stand against the frameworks that matter to your business, before an auditor or an incident does.
We assess your Cyber Essentials readiness, GDPR and data handling practices, password and access control policies, patch management, firewall and endpoint protection, and whether your backup and disaster recovery arrangements are fit for purpose.
Hardware Lifecycle Review
Ageing hardware is both a security risk and a hidden ongoing cost. Our lifecycle review gives you a complete asset register with end of life dates, so you can plan replacements proactively rather than reactively.
We document every asset, check end of support status, review warranty and contract coverage, forecast replacement costs and identify where cloud alternatives could reduce your long term spend.
How the audit works
Discovery call We start with a conversation to understand your priorities, your current setup and what you need the audit to achieve.
Infrastructure review We assess your systems in a way that works for your team. We can come on site across the North West or carry out a full remote review using secure tooling.
Report and recommendations You receive a written report with prioritised findings, a risk rating for each issue and specific next steps. Everything is written in plain English.
Follow up support We do not disappear after delivering the report. We can help you act on the findings through our managed IT service or as a standalone project.
Who is it for
Growing businesses Your business has moved faster than your IT. We help you understand what you have built, identify the risks and put a plan in place that scales with you.
New IT decision makers If you have recently taken on responsibility for IT, an independent audit gives you an honest baseline rather than having to rely on what you have been told.
Businesses preparing for investment or sale An IT audit demonstrates maturity to buyers and investors and surfaces any technology risks that could affect valuation or slow down due diligence.
Organisations seeking Cyber Essentials Theo Technologies has helped businesses pass Cyber Essentials first time. Our compliance checks map directly to the five technical controls.
Teams planning a cloud migration A pre migration audit ensures you move the right things in the right order, with nothing left behind and no surprises once you are live.
Businesses with internal IT support An independent audit complements your in house team. We provide an outside perspective that is difficult to see from the inside, without stepping on toes.
