Most business owners have limited visibility into their IT systems. They know the technology is essential but often don’t understand what’s happening behind the scenes until something stops working.
At Midland Computers, we offer a free IT Security Audit, which is the perfect solution to this uncertainty. It can bring clarity, peace of mind and a little more understanding to the workings of your business’s security systems. Our team of highly skilled, Microsoft-certified engineers have years of experience and a complete understanding of the IT industry, so you know you’re in good hands.
Who is Our Free Audit for?
Who exactly is our free audit for? If you already know the ins and outs of your business’s security and digital operations, then it might not be for you.
Our free IT audit is ideal for businesses that haven’t updated their hardware in over three years and suspect they may be running on borrowed time. It’s perfect for organisations aiming to achieve Cyber Essentials or other industry-specific certifications and need to pinpoint exactly where their security gaps lie. Additionally, it’s designed to assist managers who face the challenge of securing a mix of devices, from office desktops and home laptops to personal mobile devices brought by employees. For CFOs or business owners looking to avoid unnecessary IT spending, this audit provides a prioritised list of smart investments, ensuring that funds are directed where they are actually needed.
Our 4-Step Comprehensive IT Audit Process
Our free IT audit follows a high-touch, expert-led process designed to thoroughly assess your IT environment, far beyond an automated scan.
1. Your Current Infrastructure and Our Services
It starts with a conversation. We book a call to understand your setup and ensure we’re the right fit to help. We want to understand your current infrastructure, worries and business operations to see where you sit.
2. The Strategy Session to Identify Potential Risks
You’ll speak with a dedicated Account Manager to review your current pain points, figuring out what’s slow, what’s scary, and what’s stopping your growth. By securing a strategy, we can move on to the next steps, knowing exactly where to start.
3. The On-Site Technical Audit
A Technical Engineer visits your premises to get under the hood of your physical and digital infrastructure. They conduct a thorough examination of your current hardware, software, network configurations, and security measures to identify any vulnerabilities or inefficiencies.
This hands-on inspection allows our technical engineers to gather essential information about your IT environment, ensuring no risks are missed, and your systems align with your business goals and best practices.
4. The Actionable Roadmap to Cyber Security
We don’t just send a bill. We present the results back to you with clear, actionable recommendations and a traffic-light system of priorities. From our specialist advice, we can recommend our services or any additional help; however, there is no obligation – your audit is entirely free with no strings attached.
What are the Benefits of a Free IT Security Audit?
There are many benefits to conducting an IT security audit, from hidden cost savings to finding your business’s bottlenecks you didn’t know were there.
- The hidden cost of downtime can be detrimental to SMEs. An audit can prevent the £10k+ daily loss that occurs when a server fails or a breach hits.
- An audit identifies bottlenecks in your IT systems that drain staff productivity and business growth. For example, slow PCs or outdated Wi-Fi points aren’t just an expensive upgrade, but an essential element to your daily work.
- Instead of being left in the dark, you can understand every aspect of your business’s IT footprint. Unlike other companies, Midland Computers’ results are presented in plain English. You’ll know exactly what needs fixing and why.
