IT Auditing and Compliance

Understand your technology risks, controls and compliance gaps.

Structured reviews of infrastructure, security, access, licensing, backups, policies and operational controls to help organisations reduce risk and improve accountability.

IT Audit Overview

Clear findings across your technology environment.

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

Technology risk is difficult to manage without reliable evidence.

Organisations often depend on systems and suppliers without a complete view of access, licensing, backups, security controls or operational responsibilities.

01

Limited Visibility

Management lacks a complete inventory of systems, devices, software and technology responsibilities.

02

Excessive Access

Users and administrators may retain permissions that are no longer required.

03

Licence Exposure

Software may be unlicensed, under-licensed, duplicated or assigned inefficiently.

04

Backup Uncertainty

Backups may exist without verified retention, monitoring or restore testing.

05

Security Gaps

Weak configurations, outdated systems and missing controls increase cyber risk.

06

Missing Documentation

Policies, procedures, diagrams and support records may be incomplete or outdated.

Audit Capabilities

A structured review of systems, controls and responsibilities.

The audit scope is defined according to the organisation, technology environment, contractual obligations and required outcomes.

IT Asset Review

Review devices, servers, network equipment, applications and assigned ownership.

Infrastructure Audit

Assess networks, servers, cloud services, connectivity and technical dependencies.

Cybersecurity Review

Evaluate endpoint protection, firewalls, identity, patching, monitoring and security practices.

Access-Control Review

Review user accounts, administrator privileges, shared credentials and access processes.

Software Licence Audit

Compare installed and assigned software against available licences and agreements.

Backup and Recovery Review

Assess backup coverage, retention, storage, monitoring and restore readiness.

Policy Review

Review available security, acceptable-use, access and technology-management policies.

Supplier and Contract Review

Review support agreements, service responsibilities, renewals and vendor dependencies.

Audit Reporting

Provide findings, risks, priorities and recommended improvement actions.

Business Benefits

Better control over technology risk and investment.

Audit findings help management prioritise improvements based on evidence rather than assumptions.

Improved Visibility

Understand which systems, assets, licences and controls are currently in place.

Risk Identification

Identify weaknesses before they cause outages, security incidents or compliance problems.

Stronger Governance

Clarify ownership, responsibilities, approvals and technology-management processes.

Cost Control

Identify duplicated tools, unused licences and avoidable technology expenditure.

Improved Security

Prioritise practical controls that reduce exposure across users, systems and data.

Clear Roadmap

Turn findings into phased remediation and technology-improvement actions.

Audit Process

A structured process from scope definition to remediation planning.

The audit is designed to produce practical findings that management and technical teams can act on.

01

Define Scope

Confirm the systems, locations, departments, risks and compliance areas included in the review.

02

Collect Evidence

Gather inventories, configurations, policies, licences, contracts and operational records.

03

Assess Controls

Review infrastructure, access, security, backups, software and support processes.

04

Identify Findings

Document control gaps, risks, inconsistencies and improvement opportunities.

05

Report

Present findings, risk levels, priorities and recommended corrective actions.

06

Plan Remediation

Create a practical roadmap for addressing high-priority issues and improving controls.
