Technical Consulting · The Systems Audit

Technical consulting that starts with a map of what you run.

Most companies don't need more software. They need someone to look at all of it at once. The Systems Audit does that in two weeks for a flat fee, and you keep the plan whether or not we do any of the work.

Is an audit worth it for you?

If you tick two or more of these, the audit usually pays for itself in the first year. If you tick none, you probably don't need one, and we'll say so.

Tick anything that applies

Nothing is saved or sent anywhere. It's just a quick way to see where you stand.

What we do

What the audit gives you

01

The map

Every system, tool and license you're running, who owns it and what depends on it.

02

The costs

What each one costs, what's duplicated, and what renews before anyone will think to cancel it.

03

The exposure

Where you're vulnerable: who has admin access, whether backups exist and have been tested, and which systems depend on one person.

04

The workarounds

The spreadsheets and copy-paste routines people have quietly built to fill the gaps. These usually say more than any vendor demo.

05

The plan

A ranked twelve-month plan: what to fix first, what can wait, and what to stop paying for.

06

No platform to push

We work across Google, Microsoft, Zoho and Odoo, so there's no single vendor the answer needs to be. If the right move is something we don't sell, the plan says so.

How it works

How the two weeks go

  1. 01

    A 30-minute call

    We'll tell you whether an audit is worth doing for you. Sometimes it isn't, and a single fix is enough.

  2. 02

    Access and conversations

    Read-only access where possible, recent software bills, and short conversations with the people who use each system, not only the person who bought it.

  3. 03

    Inventory and costs

    We build the map: every tool, what it costs, what it connects to and where the data really lives.

  4. 04

    The written plan

    Findings ranked by what they cost you and what they put at risk, with rough effort for each fix.

  5. 05

    The readout

    We walk you and your team through it and answer questions. The document is yours either way.

  6. 06

    Then it's your call

    Do the work with us, with someone else, or yourselves. We implement what we recommend, so the plan is costed against what things actually take.

Questions

What people ask before they call

How much does the Systems Audit cost?

It's a flat fee, agreed before we start, based on the size of the company and how many systems are involved. We'll quote it on the first call, and it won't change halfway through.

Do we have to hire you to do the work afterwards?

No. You keep the document whether or not we do any of the work. Plenty of companies use the plan with their own team or another vendor.

What if the plan recommends something you don't sell?

Then it says so. That's the point of having someone who isn't tied to one platform.

What do you need from us?

Read-only access to admin consoles where possible, recent invoices or card statements for software, and short conversations with the people who use each system. We keep the time your team spends on it small.

Is this a security audit?

It covers security at a practical level: admin access, backups, MFA and single points of failure. It isn't a penetration test or a compliance certification, and we'll tell you if you need one of those.
