In-depth Audit

At Q2Q, we believe that the best IT consultancy support starts with really understanding your business, and that’s exactly what our IT audit is all about. It’s a friendly, no-pressure process where we get to know your current IT setup and provide practical, straightforward advice that’s tailored to you. No jargon, just clear recommendations that will help your business thrive.

Our IT audit includes a 36-point health check covering everything from technology and infrastructure to security and support services. Plus, we can run a detailed system scan over the course of a week to give us a real sense of how your IT performs day-to-day. This helps us suggest upgrades only where they’re truly needed, so you can get the most out of your existing setup without unnecessary costs.

Once the audit’s complete, you’ll get a customised report with easy-to-understand insights and recommendations. We use a simple traffic light system, red for urgent fixes, yellow for areas to improve, and green for what’s already working well. It’s all about helping you make small, smart changes that can boost efficiency and productivity across your business.

The best part? The audit itself is completely free! If you decide to implement any of our suggestions, we’ll work with you to do so in the most cost-effective way possible. Visit our IT Audit page for more information on how we use our audit to ensure our IT Consultancy services are bespoke to your business and it’s needs!
