IT Environment Audit

What is an IT Environment Audit?

An IT environment audit is a multidimensional analysis of a current IT environment, covering software, IT architecture, technical infrastructure, and network topology. The audit takes into account IT resources, processes, and security. The analysis can be general or targeted to a specific customer need. The product of the audit conducted by Beyond.pl experts is a detailed report.

The main objective of the audit is to determine whether the client’s current IT environment properly addresses the organization’s business needs. The results of the report, depending on the need, can be the basis for implementing changes that will lead to the elimination of bottlenecks, increase the functionality of the IT process, optimize the efficiency of the infrastructure, or improve the security of the client’s IT.
