Why a free IT audit makes sense for a Tewkesbury business
Tewkesbury punches above its weight industrially. The light-industrial estates around Northway Lane, Tewkesbury Business Park and out to Junction 9 of the M5 host manufacturers, distributors, engineering firms and a steady cluster of professional services in the town centre. The IT estates we see across GL20 share a particular pattern: a mix of cloud and on-premise, often a Sage or sector-specific system that has been there a decade, broadband that is no longer fit for the headcount, and a current IT provider who is generalist rather than specialist.
That generalist coverage is fine for day-to-day. It is not fine when an audit question is asked: when did we last test the backup, are leaver accounts actually closed, is our Microsoft 365 tenant configured for the threats from 2026 or the threats from 2019. The honest answer in most cases is that nobody knows, because nobody has had the brief to find out. Our free audit gives you that brief and the answer in a written report, in five working days.
Because we are 15 minutes south of you in Gloucester, scheduling is easy, same-day on-site cover is realistic, and the audit itself is normally run remotely so it fits around your week.
If your current Tewkesbury IT provider is doing a good job, our audit will tell you. If they are not, you should know that too.
How the free audit works
1. Book a 60-minute call
Fill in the form or call us directly. We schedule a video call with a senior engineer within one working day, at a time that suits you. No screen access, no credentials, no follow-up meetings unless you want one.
2. We audit your IT
Structured questions in the call, then an hour or two of our own checking afterwards. We look at cyber security, Microsoft 365, backup, network, devices, support contract and compliance posture.
3. You get a written report
Within five working days. Plain English, prioritised, showing what is healthy, what needs attention, and what needs fixing now. Yours to use however you choose. We do not call to chase work.
What your free Tewkesbury IT audit covers
- Cyber security baseline – MFA coverage, conditional access, endpoint protection, admin account hygiene, dormant identities.
- Microsoft 365 review – tenant configuration, mailbox forwarding rules, sharing permissions, default security settings.
- Backup and recovery – what is actually being backed up, when it last restored, and how long a real recovery would take.
- Network and connectivity – business broadband resilience, firewall configuration, wireless coverage and segmentation.
- Devices and patching – Windows update state, third-party patch cadence, end-of-life hardware, encryption status.
- Support cost and contract – what you are paying, what you are actually getting, whether the cover matches the risk.
- Compliance starting point – Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, customer questionnaires, cyber insurance requirements.
- Plain-English written report – findings, priority, fix cost where known, and what you can fix yourself.
Sixty minutes of structured questions, an hour or two of our own checking afterwards, and a written report within five working days. Yours to use however you choose.
The four gaps we find on almost every Tewkesbury audit
MFA that is mostly on
Mostly is not on. Shared production-floor accounts, service accounts and old reception inboxes are exactly the ones attackers find. We flag the exceptions.
Backups that have not been tested
A backup nobody has restored from is a hopeful gesture, not a recovery plan. We check the last successful restore and what would happen this week.
Broadband that no longer fits the headcount
Five-year-old broadband contracts on offices that have doubled in size. We look at what you are paying versus what would actually be resilient.
Active accounts for people who left
Leavers from six months ago, still with mailboxes, file access and sometimes admin rights. We name them so you can close them.
What it feels like once you actually know
Most leadership teams carry a low-grade IT worry for months: not sure if the backups work, not sure who has admin access, not sure whether the current provider has done what they were paid to do. The audit closes that uncertainty in one short engagement.
- You know exactly where you stand on cyber security, with evidence not opinion
- You have a written record to share with your insurer, your board or your auditors
- You stop wondering whether your current IT provider is delivering what they are paid for
- You decide what to fix and when, with realistic costs and priorities
- You either stay where you are with confidence, or you move with a plan
