It may seem like a minor oversight, but when the question arises of software or hardware failure, possible modernization, an expert opinion is needed to plan further steps.

In fact, any modernization and change implementation can be carried out only if there is a complete understanding of the existing state of the server and network equipment. Therefore, conducting an audit is a starting point allowing assess the current IT infrastructure objectively.

Which other services does IT audit provide?

How to control the activity of the company providing the IT services?

First of all, it should be noted that the IT outsourcing model has its own control tools offered to the customer:
