Why choose Protek for IT audits and assessments?
The type of IT assessment you need may vary based on what you want to achieve. You can count on Protek for any of the following types of assessments.
Hidden issues can easily create costly downtime, sluggish performance, and compliance concerns. Aging servers, unstable networks, and unchecked cloud use leave businesses vulnerable and less efficient.
So, let Protek audit every layer of your environment, including servers, IT networks, storage systems, and cloud platforms. Our process detects risks, inefficiencies, and areas where you may be overspending.
We then deliver a practical plan to stabilize, optimize, and future-proof your IT. With our recommendations, you can strengthen performance, cut waste, and reduce risks.
Uncontrolled IT spending drains budgets and limits growth. Duplicate licenses, unused services, and hidden fees often go unnoticed until they cause financial strain.
That’s why Protek will perform cost assessments that uncover waste across hardware, software, and cloud subscriptions. Our review highlights inefficiencies, contract overlaps, and spending misaligned with business priorities.
You’ll gain transparency into how your IT budget is truly allocated. This way, you can choose where you should reallocate funding based on data.
Slow connections, recurring outages, and unexplained bottlenecks signal deeper network issues. Left unchecked, these problems reduce productivity, open security gaps, and increase long-term costs.
Protek can deliver a full audit of your network infrastructure, including switches, firewalls, wireless access points, and configurations. Our process identifies misaligned settings, capacity limits, and vulnerabilities that create hidden risks.
Then, we’ll provide actionable recommendations to help you improve IT network speed, reliability, and security.
Regulations change often. That’s why many businesses that rely on manual processes or outdated controls struggle to keep pace with requirements.
However, a compliance auditor will still flag these risks, no matter why they exist.
Before your next audit, let Protek analyze your IT policies, configurations, and controls against industry standards and regulations.
Our assessments identify areas where practices fall short and provide clear direction to bring systems into alignment.
Cloud platforms offer flexibility, but unmanaged use often drives costs up and weakens reliability. Unused accounts, duplicate tools, and poor configurations reduce the value you should be gaining.
Protek provides assessments of Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and other platforms to show where value is being lost. Our review may uncover overspending, underutilized resources, and weak controls that prevent you from getting full benefit. You gain a clear view of how to capture more from your cloud services.
We then provide a focused plan to optimize usage, improve security, and boost efficiency.
Gaps in access controls, outdated defenses, and unmonitored activity give attackers opportunities to exploit weak points. These issues often go unseen until damage is done.
Protek can perform cyber risk assessments that analyze your IT systems, policies, and practices against current threats. Our goal is to find and patch any vulnerabilities, poor configurations, and compliance gaps that increase potential risks.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of where your defenses stand and what to do to improve them.
The average employee loses a cumulative 36 workdays to digital workflow inefficiencies over the course of 1 year. No employer causes that intentionally. It’s usually because these inefficiencies are hard to detect.
Protek can provide assessments that highlight hidden bottlenecks, underused tools, and outdated practices across your systems. By identifying these issues, we give you a clear picture of where performance falls short. Our expertise allows us to connect findings with practical recommendations tailored to your environment.
You benefit from a more efficient IT setup that reduces downtime and increases staff productivity. We can also implement the improvements we recommended or guide your team through the changes.
Our experts can help you pinpoint exactly what’s working and what’s not so you can make informed strategic decisions.
When businesses lack a roadmap, technology limits growth instead of supporting it. Organizations often outgrow their IT infrastructure or struggle to scale securely. Without a plan, expansion creates disruption and risks to daily operations.
Protek’s IT assessments provide forward-looking analysis to align current systems with business goals. We identify gaps, anticipate future demands, and highlight where investments should focus. This planning ensures technology can scale alongside the organization.
You gain a technology roadmap that supports expansion while adapting to new opportunities. Growth becomes more strategic, and operations remain stable during transitions.
Unexpected IT costs often appear through emergency repairs, overlapping tools, or unplanned upgrades. These surprise expenses disrupt budgets and make it difficult to plan long-term. Without oversight, businesses continue to pay for unused or redundant systems.
Protek will perform assessments that review hardware, software, licensing, and support expenses. By analyzing where money is wasted, we uncover opportunities to eliminate overlap and improve cost efficiency. Our recommendations help you shift spending from reactive fixes to planned investments.
You gain a predictable IT budget that aligns with business priorities and reduces financial strain.
Limited IT system access is usually needed for an audit or assessment. We require it to review infrastructure, configurations, permissions, and usage patterns.
The access provided can be made temporary and scoped to only what is necessary for the evaluation. This approach protects sensitive data while allowing us to identify weaknesses, inefficiencies, and risks.
We’ll coordinate with your internal team to keep access controlled, documented, and aligned with your security policies.
Most businesses benefit from completing an IT audit annually, but the exact frequency depends on your industry, regulatory requirements, and growth rate. Highly regulated sectors may require more frequent reviews, sometimes twice a year.
Fast-growing businesses or those adopting new technologies also benefit from shorter audit cycles.
Regular assessments keep systems optimized, uncover risks early, and align IT with evolving business goals, helping you maintain compliance, security, and operational efficiency.
Our IT assessments are designed to cause little to no disruption. Most of the work is done through scheduled reviews, background scans, and off-peak evaluations.
We coordinate with your team to avoid interfering with key business hours or critical processes.
When direct testing or interviews are required, we plan them in advance. This approach lets us gather accurate insights while your staff continues daily operations with minimal interruptions.
After an IT assessment, we deliver a detailed report outlining strengths, weaknesses, and risks in your environment.
The report includes practical recommendations prioritized by impact and urgency.
We review the findings with you, answer questions, and discuss options for remediation or optimization. If desired, we can assist with implementing improvements.
Follow-up after an audit is included as part of our managed services.
Once we present the assessment findings, our team works with you to implement recommended changes without additional fees.
This includes configuration updates, process improvements, and security adjustments.
