Limited Visibility
Management lacks a complete inventory of systems, devices, software and technology responsibilities.
IT Auditing and Compliance
Structured reviews of infrastructure, security, access, licensing, backups, policies and operational controls to help organisations reduce risk and improve accountability.
IT Audit Overview
An IT audit reviews how technology is managed, protected and used across the organisation.
Hozit assesses infrastructure, access, cybersecurity, software, backups, support processes and documented controls to identify risks and improvement priorities.
Audit Challenges
Organisations often depend on systems and suppliers without a complete view of access, licensing, backups, security controls or operational responsibilities.
Management lacks a complete inventory of systems, devices, software and technology responsibilities.
Users and administrators may retain permissions that are no longer required.
Software may be unlicensed, under-licensed, duplicated or assigned inefficiently.
Backups may exist without verified retention, monitoring or restore testing.
Weak configurations, outdated systems and missing controls increase cyber risk.
Policies, procedures, diagrams and support records may be incomplete or outdated.
Audit Capabilities
The audit scope is defined according to the organisation, technology environment, contractual obligations and required outcomes.
Review devices, servers, network equipment, applications and assigned ownership.
Assess networks, servers, cloud services, connectivity and technical dependencies.
Evaluate endpoint protection, firewalls, identity, patching, monitoring and security practices.
Review user accounts, administrator privileges, shared credentials and access processes.
Compare installed and assigned software against available licences and agreements.
Assess backup coverage, retention, storage, monitoring and restore readiness.
Review available security, acceptable-use, access and technology-management policies.
Review support agreements, service responsibilities, renewals and vendor dependencies.
Provide findings, risks, priorities and recommended improvement actions.
Business Benefits
Audit findings help management prioritise improvements based on evidence rather than assumptions.
Understand which systems, assets, licences and controls are currently in place.
Identify weaknesses before they cause outages, security incidents or compliance problems.
Clarify ownership, responsibilities, approvals and technology-management processes.
Identify duplicated tools, unused licences and avoidable technology expenditure.
Prioritise practical controls that reduce exposure across users, systems and data.
Turn findings into phased remediation and technology-improvement actions.
Audit Process
The audit is designed to produce practical findings that management and technical teams can act on.
Confirm the systems, locations, departments, risks and compliance areas included in the review.
Gather inventories, configurations, policies, licences, contracts and operational records.
Review infrastructure, access, security, backups, software and support processes.
Document control gaps, risks, inconsistencies and improvement opportunities.
Present findings, risk levels, priorities and recommended corrective actions.
Create a practical roadmap for addressing high-priority issues and improving controls.
IT Audit Questions
The scope may include infrastructure, cybersecurity, user access, software licences, backups, policies, suppliers and support processes.
Yes. The scope can be adjusted according to the organisation’s size, systems, risks and available documentation.
Yes, where included in the agreed scope. This may cover identity, firewalls, endpoints, patching, monitoring and user security practices.
Yes. The review may include users, licences, administrator roles, authentication, mail security and configuration controls.
Yes. The report can include findings, risk ratings, priorities, recommendations and a remediation roadmap.
Remediation can be delivered under a separate approved scope after the audit findings have been reviewed.
The frequency depends on risk, regulatory requirements, business changes and the importance of the systems being reviewed.
