What is an IT Audit?
An IT Audit examines your business’s IT infrastructure, focusing on areas such as business continuity, network infrastructure, cybersecurity, a modern workplace, and scalability for growth.
Why do you need an IT audit?
Your IT systems are running smoothly now, and “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” seems logical. But an IT audit is like a regular health checkup for a business: even when you feel healthy, it can uncover hidden issues before they become serious, ensure everything functions optimally, and guide you on staying in top condition for the challenges ahead.
Benefits of an IT Audit
- Enhanced Security: Uncover and address vulnerabilities to fortify your defenses against cyber threats, which are real and sadly common today.
- Optimized Performance: Gain insights into your network and server efficiency that provide smoother operations.
- Regulatory Compliance: Achieve peace of mind with systems aligned to China’s stringent cybersecurity laws, avoiding potential legal complications.
- Strategic Growth: Ensure your IT infrastructure meets current needs and future expansion.
When do we need an IT audit?
Simple answer – before you need it! But here’s when you can get an IT audit done:
- New business acquisition
- New CEO / General Manager appointment
- During a merger and acquisition
- When you notice a lack of IT documentation
- New investments / upgrades are imminent
My company has already completed an audit of our HQ's systems based outside China. Do I need another one in China?
Yes, absolutely, yes. Here’s why:
- Specialized Software Needs: Local software versions have unique requirements that demand a different focus.
- Cross-Border Connectivity: Bridging the IT systems between China and the rest of the world requires innovative solutions for seamless integration. What works outside China doesn’t always work in China.
- Adapting Standards: Global IT standards might not always apply in China. We find the right tech for your business here.
- Data Law Compliance: China’s cybersecurity regulations are strict. We navigate these to keep your data safe, much like Europe’s data protection laws, but tailored for China.
