What is an IT audit and why is it necessary?
An IT infrastructure audit will take the IT component of your business to a new level.
A properly designed IT infrastructure minimizes the risks of financial and reputational losses, information security issues, and increases operational efficiency.
ITGLOBAL.COM will conduct a full audit of your IT infrastructure, identify weaknesses, and propose and implement the best solution. Once the implementation process is complete, we will take over support for both the hardware and software components of your IT infrastructure.
What tasks does an IT infrastructure audit solve? IT infrastructure
An audit allows you to analyze your security level, including assessing protective measures, ensuring data confidentiality, and preventing potential threats. This is important for protecting information both within the organization and against external cyberattacks.
Audits allow you to identify opportunities to optimize IT resources, improve the performance and efficiency of IT systems, and streamline the use of resources within the organization.
Audits help assess the compliance of IT infrastructure with the requirements of standards, regulations, and legislation that govern the operation of information systems. This allows organizations to confirm their compliance with security, information confidentiality, and data integrity requirements.
The results of an IT infrastructure audit form the basis for developing a technical and business plan for the organization’s development. The audit helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the IT system, determine priorities and development needs, and plan changes and upgrades to the system based on specific results and recommendations.
An audit helps identify potential risks and vulnerabilities in the IT infrastructure, allowing measures to be taken to prevent them. Conducting an audit helps prevent possible failures and problems, and also allows you to develop backup, data recovery, and business continuity plans.

How we work
The IT infrastructure audit begins with a description of which system components it should support. To determine this, we examine the following questions:
- What services and applications are currently running?
- What data is stored?
- What are the requirements for stored data?
- What goals were planned to be achieved with the current infrastructure configuration?
- What new services are planned to be deployed in the near future?
- What is unsatisfactory about the current infrastructure?
The scope of the audit is also preliminarily agreed upon, and access to the necessary infrastructure is obtained.
After the initial dialogue, a detailed IT infrastructure survey plan is drawn up based on the data obtained, indicating which details require closer attention.
The IT infrastructure is surveyed according to the plan.
Server infrastructure:
- analysis of the state of the existing server infrastructure;
- analysis of the architecture;
- analysis of resource utilization;
- software analysis;
- monitoring analysis.
Virtual infrastructure:
- virtual infrastructure analysis;
- Architecture analysis;
- vSAN cluster analysis.
Network infrastructure:
- analysis of the state of the existing network infrastructure;
- architecture analysis;
- analysis of system settings for elements;
- L2 and L3 performance analysis;
- network security analysis;
- monitoring analysis.
Data storage infrastructure:
- analysis of the state of the existing data storage infrastructure;
- architecture analysis;
- resource usage analysis.
Service infrastructure:
- analysis of the state of services;
- analysis of service architecture.
After the survey, we will begin analyzing the collected data. Our team will consider options for improving your IT infrastructure and select the most optimal option that meets all your company’s requirements.
All identified deficiencies will be outlined in the final report. It will also include information on how to improve your IT infrastructure in the most optimal way.
