Free External IT Audit Checklist

Give your IT network a health check!

Free IT Audit offered by Clear IT Solutions to all local companies

The Free IT Audit is a structured IT survey that provides you with a top-level analysis of your IT infrastructure. There's no cost to you and no obligation to purchase anything from us. It's an IT health check; think of it as a second opinion on your technology set up.

We'll advise you of how robust your technical architecture is, how good your security is and the performance of your equipment and applications. We'll recommend improvements, where improvements are needed. It's not uncommon for us to tell people that they have a good IT system and should be happy with their existing suppliers or organisation.

Cabling, networking, internet connection and Email system

Our Free IT Audit is non-intrusive; no-one needs to stop working or turn anything off, we'll never interrupt anyone's critical workflow.
