Let’s face it—“IT audit” doesn’t exactly spark excitement. Most people hear the word audit and immediately think paperwork, stress, and someone pointing out everything that’s wrong. But at RQ Tech, we see it differently.
A proper IT audit isn’t about catching people out or running through a checklist. It’s about taking an honest look at your systems, spotting the gaps, and figuring out how to make things work better—and more securely.
Whether you’re a growing company with a patchwork of systems or a large organisation that hasn’t reviewed its tech in years, an audit gives you clarity. It tells you what’s working, what’s vulnerable, and what could be costing you more than it should.
So what exactly do we do during an IT needs and risk assessment?
We start by mapping out your current setup—your hardware, software, security policies, backups, networks, user access… the full picture. We look for outdated tools, unsupported systems, and inefficient processes. But we don’t just stop at the technical stuff. We also ask the big questions:
Are your systems supporting your business goals?
Where are your biggest risks—cybersecurity? downtime? human error?
Are your teams using the tech to its full potential?
Once we’ve gathered everything, we don’t just dump a report on your desk and leave. We explain the findings in plain language, show you where your risks are, and give you practical, budget-conscious recommendations.
And here’s the thing—this kind of assessment isn’t just for “techie” companies. Every modern business relies on technology, which means every business has IT risks. Ignoring them doesn’t make them go away. It just means you’re more likely to run into issues when it really matters—like during a launch, a client deadline, or a cyber attack.
An IT audit is a bit like getting a health check for your business. It helps you spot problems early, plan with confidence, and avoid nasty surprises down the line. And with RQ Tech, it’s not about fear tactics or finger-pointing—it’s about building something better.
