What is included in a Northstar IT assessment?
Our IT assessment covers a full inventory of your hardware and software, a comprehensive security scan to find vulnerabilities, and an analysis of your network performance. We also evaluate your backup and disaster recovery readiness to ensure your data is protected. After the audit, we provide a detailed report with prioritised recommendations to improve your efficiency and security posture across your entire organisation.
How long does a network audit take to complete?
The duration depends on the size and complexity of your environment, but most assessments for mid-market firms take between one and two weeks. This includes the initial data collection phase, technical analysis, and the final presentation of our findings. We work to ensure minimal disruption to your daily operations in Prince George, Vancouver, or Calgary while we gather the necessary configuration details.
Why should my business perform an IT audit regularly?
Regular audits are essential for maintaining security and staying competitive. Technology changes rapidly, and new vulnerabilities emerge every day. By performing an audit at least once a year, you can ensure that your systems remain compliant with industry standards, your software is properly licensed, and your hardware is not approaching a failure point. It is a proactive way to manage your technology budget and avoid unexpected expenses.
