Why a free IT audit makes sense for a Worcester business
Worcester’s economy is unusually broad for a city its size: long-established manufacturing along the A38 and through WR4, distribution and logistics around Junction 6 of the M5, a strong professional services base in the city centre, and the agricultural and food-production firms that ring the WR3 and WR5 outskirts. The common thread across these IT estates is mixed-age infrastructure. A Microsoft 365 tenant that grew organically. Some Sage or sector-specific software still on-premise. A current IT provider doing the basics, and a board paper from two years ago that says the cyber side needs another look.
That last point matters more in Worcester than most places. Manufacturing supply chains in the WR postcodes are now expected to evidence Cyber Essentials, sometimes ISO 27001, by customers who will not buy from you otherwise. Insurance renewals here have started declining cover or doubling premium without proof of MFA, endpoint protection and tested backup. Our free audit gives you that evidence base in five working days.
We cover Worcester same-day on-site from our Gloucester base, 30 minutes down the M5, with most of the audit run remotely so it fits around your week.
If your current Worcester 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 Worcester 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 and supply-chain readiness – Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, customer security 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 Worcester audit
MFA that is mostly on
Mostly is not on. The accounts that bypass MFA, the shared production-floor accounts, the service accounts, are exactly the ones attackers find. We flag them.
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.
Cyber Essentials evidence that will not survive a real audit
The self-assessment was clean. The estate has drifted since. We surface the live state against the controls so the next renewal is honest.
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
