IT Infrastructure Review

Before you invest in something bigger, let's check the basics

A practical review of configuration, updates and backups — not a formal security audit. If you need penetration testing or certified compliance, we'll honestly point you to a team that specializes in that.

Scope of the review

What an IT infrastructure review covers

A review is a check of your infrastructure — network, servers, workstations, backups and access permissions — assessed against whether the basics actually work as they should, not a checklist pulled off the internet. The result is a report with concrete observations and priorities you can use regardless of whether you have us implement the fixes or someone else.

  • Review of network, servers and workstations
  • Assessment of backups and recovery plans
  • Check of access permissions and authentication
  • A report with observations and prioritized actions
Before something happens

Prevention is cheaper than cleaning up after a failure

If nothing has gone wrong yet, it's easy to see a review as an unnecessary expense. In practice, the cost of cleaning up after a ransomware attack or a data breach — downtime, data recovery, lost client trust — is often many times higher than the cost of a review that catches the gap beforehand. We cover this in more detail in our guides on what ransomware is and how to protect against it and why you should turn on two-factor authentication. A review checks whether the basics described in those articles are actually in place — not just on paper.

  • Basic resilience check against common threats
  • Checking whether 2FA and password policies are enforced
  • Assessment of how current system and software updates are
  • Verification that backups actually work
Methodology and honest limits

Not a SOC audit or a pentest — and we say so upfront

We understand the skepticism — an IT company reviewing its own client's infrastructure, then selling you something, sounds like a conflict of interest. That's why our reviews are built on an established methodology (ITIL® 4 Foundation) and networking knowledge backed by a Cisco CCNA certification, not on a list of products to sell. An important distinction: this is not a formal security audit carried out by a specialized SOC team, nor is it penetration testing. If you need a certified compliance audit (e.g. ISO 27001, NIS2) or penetration testing, we'll honestly point you to a firm that specializes in that — we don't take on work outside our competence. We also don't publish artificially generated reviews or inflate client counts to look more credible — our approach is built on honesty, not marketing tricks.

  • ITIL® 4 Foundation methodology
  • Networking knowledge backed by Cisco CCNA
  • We're upfront about where our expertise ends
  • An honest report — even when nothing urgent needs changing
What you get

A concrete result, not a vague opinion

01

Infrastructure review

A complete map of what you have: network, servers, workstations, backups, access permissions — written down in one place, often for the first time.

02

Observed gaps and their practical risk

Every gap described in terms of what happens if it's ignored — not just the technicalities, but the business consequences.

03

Prioritized recommendations and budget

Concrete steps ranked from most urgent to those that can wait, together with an approximate budget for implementing them.

From our experience

The basics matter most where a mistake costs the most

We've reviewed infrastructure for a medical facility running PACS, DICOM and HL7 systems alongside standard Windows workstations and a local file server on Windows Server — an environment where a configuration mistake can affect not just downtime, but patient data. Due to confidentiality we don't disclose client names.

Questions

Before you ask about a review

Why do I need an infrastructure review if nothing has gone wrong yet?
If nothing has gone wrong yet, it's easy to see a review as an unnecessary expense. In practice, the cost of cleaning up after a ransomware attack or a data breach — downtime, data recovery, lost client trust — is often many times higher than the cost of a review that catches the gap beforehand. We check whether the basics are actually in place, before someone else checks it for you the hard way.
Is this the same as a professional security audit or a penetration test?
No, and we want that to be clear. A formal security audit or penetration testing requires a specialized team — certified pentesters or a SOC team — and a different methodology than the one we use. Our review is a practical check of the basics: updates, backups, access permissions and configuration, built on ITIL 4 methodology and networking knowledge backed by a Cisco CCNA certification. If you need a certified compliance audit (e.g. ISO 27001, NIS2) or penetration testing, we'll honestly point you to a firm that specializes in that.
Isn't this just upselling hardware and licenses?
We understand the skepticism. Our reviews are built on an established methodology (ITIL 4 Foundation) and networking knowledge backed by a Cisco CCNA certification, not on a list of products to sell. The report contains real observations and priorities — if the conclusion is "nothing urgent needs to change", that's exactly what you'll hear.
What does a review actually deliver?
An infrastructure review (network, servers, workstations, backups, access permissions), a list of observed gaps described in terms of real business risk, and prioritized recommendations with an approximate budget for implementing them.
How long does a review take and what does it cost?
Time and scope depend on the size of your infrastructure — from a few hours for a small business to several days for a more complex environment. We quote it individually via our pricing page, and clients on the Large plan get free IT consulting included in their subscription.
Does the review include implementing the recommendations?
The review ends with a report and recommendations. Implementation can be done within your plan's support hours or as a separate project — the choice is always yours.
