An independent audit of your IT environment, at a fraction of the cost

Most MSP contracts are scoped around technology delivery: infrastructure, helpdesk, connectivity. Governance, cybersecurity oversight, and compliance responsibilities often sit outside that scope. That’s not a failing on their part; it’s how the contracts are written.

A traditional cyber audit would find these gaps but costs $50K+, takes 6 to 8 weeks, and produces a technical report written for an IT team. The IT Check gives finance leaders the same picture: independent, structured, and in business language.

FAQs

We have cyber insurance. Doesn’t that cover us?+–
Insurance covers some costs after an incident, subject to policy conditions being met. It doesn’t cover regulatory penalties, and insurers are increasingly requiring evidence of governance practices at underwriting. The IT Check supports both.
Our MSP recently did a review. Is that enough?+–
An MSP review tells you what they cover. The IT Check gives you an independent view of the full picture, including what sits outside their scope.
Will this affect our MSP relationship?+–
In our experience, the opposite. Good MSPs welcome independent validation; it confirms what they’re delivering and gives both parties a shared, agreed map of responsibilities. Most find it improves the working relationship.
How do we know it’s worth $5K?+–
You’re spending $150K+ a year on managed services. The IT Check gives you the first independent view of what that investment actually covers and where the gaps are. Every pilot has surfaced at least one gap that, left unaddressed, would have cost significantly more.
What does the output look like?+–
A responsibility matrix across 8 domains, colour-coded by owner. A prioritised gap list with business-language next steps. A one-page executive summary for your board pack. No technical report.
