TechAssist has supported hundreds of Australian SMEs across construction, manufacturing, logistics, law firms, mining, and professional services. An honest audit tells you what is working, what is broken, what is wasting money, and what to fix first — without trying to sell you something you do not need.
Most IT audits we see are dressed-up sales documents from a vendor angling for the support contract. Ours are not. We audit your environment against the standard you choose to be measured against — and give you a plain-English report you could hand to any reputable IT provider to action.
How Our IT Audit Works
Three stages. Two to four weeks. One clear written report.
01
Discovery
We deploy lightweight discovery tools and conduct stakeholder interviews. Asset inventory, network map, identity model, M365 tenant scan, backup configuration, security posture all captured.
02
Assessment
Findings benchmarked against the standard you chose — ACSC Essential Eight, ISO 27001, cyber insurance questionnaire, M365 best practice, or general industry standard.
03
Report & Action Plan
Executive summary, detailed findings, prioritised action list, cost estimates. Optional walk-through with your existing IT team or board.
Audit Types We Run
Eight audit programs, scoped to what you actually need.
Independent Means Independent
If we audit your IT and find that everything is great, we say so. If we audit your IT and we are the right provider to fix what is broken, we say so. If we audit your IT and we are not the right fit, we say so — and we tell you who is.
The audit fee is fixed and is not contingent on any downstream work. You get the report regardless of what you do with it.
Built on Real-World SME Patterns
We audit hundreds of Australian SMEs and we see the same patterns repeatedly. Backups configured years ago and never tested. M365 tenants with 40% licence waste. Networks with WiFi gear from three generations and no segmentation. Cyber insurance questionnaires being signed without anyone checking whether the answers are actually true.
Our audits surface these patterns fast — because we have seen them all before.
