IT Strategy & Consultancy

A second opinion, in writing.

Most IT issues aren’t technical, they’re decisions made without enough context. We do independent IT audits – look at what you’ve got, what it’s costing, where the gaps are – and hand you back a written report and a 12-month roadmap.

What you get

An audit you can hand to your board.

A written report you can actually use – to negotiate with your current provider, to plan next year’s spend, or to hand the whole thing to us.

Infrastructure audit

What you’ve got, what it’s doing, what’s failing quietly. Servers, network, storage, endpoints.

Security review

MFA coverage, admin sprawl, patch state, backup integrity, identity protection.

Compliance gap analysis

Cyber Essentials, KCSIE, sector-specific (GDPR, ISO 27001) – what’s in place, what isn’t.

Contract review

Auto-renewing software, over-provisioned licences, comms contracts running on rails. We’ll find them.

12-month roadmap

Prioritised actions with rough costs and dependencies. Use it as your next year’s plan.

Staff interviews

What’s actually broken from the user’s seat. We talk to your team, not just your kit.

Vendor health-check

Are you getting what you’re paying for? We’ll read the SLA and check the reports.

Board-ready summary

One page, no jargon. Suitable for a non-technical exec, governor, or trustee.

Process

One day on-site, one week to write it up.

01

Scope

30-minute call. Confirm the brief, agree access, sign the NDA. No charge for this step.

02

On-site

One day walking the site, reviewing the kit, interviewing key staff. We bring our own tooling.

03

Report

One week to write it up. Prioritised findings, costed recommendations, 12-month roadmap.

04

Walk-through

One meeting to walk you through it. Q&A, decisions, next steps. No obligation to keep us on.

Who you’ll speak to

The engineers who’ll write your report

Two engineers, one office in Oldham. Master’s-level qualifications, fifteen-plus years between us. The people on-site are the people writing the report.
