IT Audits

01 Uncover the truth

Slow and unreliable technology can cripple business growth. Patching your IT problems may work in the short term but often, surface level fixes hide systemic issues that can prevent your company from scaling. At SugarShot, we help businesses make sense of their technology with a holistic IT audit. Our method is simple: First, we inspect your business from top to bottom and discover what’s not working. Then we build a plan that fixes your gaps, prioritize your needs and designs a clear technology roadmap to get you where you want to go. Finally, we help you plan put measures in place to prevent and respond to incidents that can cause upheaval in your business.

02 Clear and comprehensive

Traditional IT risk assessments often bring more confusion than clarity. You uncover problems and inefficiencies only to be left scratching your head and wondering how you’re going to fix them and which to tackle first. Our talented systems specialists investigate your infrastructure, security compliance and monitoring processes to better understand your unique setup. Then, we deliver a clear and comprehensive IT audit report that identifies your gaps, the areas you need to focus on first and critical concerns.

03 IT security recommendations

An IT audit doesn’t just stop at infrastructure, hardware and systems. It extends to processes that impact the ongoing performance of your IT systems as well as best practice security and disaster recovery protocols.

 

The Sugarshot
approach to
IT audits

If you’ve been burned by IT support companies in the past, you’re not alone. IT companies are notorious for slow response times, bad communication and arbitrary technology recommendations. SugarShot is your virtual CIO service, running high level strategy to align your technology with the business objectives you have in place. SugarShot takes IT audits two steps further and identifies gaps while recommending IT solutions for roll out. With our USA based IT consulting service, you receive a comprehensive IT audit, and a clear blueprint that guides your IT needs into the future.

Investigate Your It Infrastructure
Our talented systems specialists talk to your key staff, review your processes and take a detailed inventory of your current technologies, applications and systems.
Stage 2
Learn Your Goals
We make every recommendation with your future business plan in mind. We want to know your goals – one year, five years and a decade from now.
Stage 3
Identify IT Gaps
We pinpoint processes and technologies that are costing you unnecessary time, money and resources.

We look at your security posture to identify pressing security risks. Some may not be affecting your business now but could cause serious problems in the near future.
Stage 5
Assign An Operational Maturity Score
Based on our findings, we assign you an operational maturity score. Your score quantifies your security posture, risks and efficiency. It makes it easy to visualize how your business stacks up to others and where you have room for improvement.
Stage 6
Create And Execute A Strategic Plan
We don’t believe in confusing, long-form proposals that are difficult to understand. We cut to the chase and lay out all the IT resources and costs required to get you from A to B. Then we get to work.

A platform to manage your
technology blueprint & risk

Technology matters. It plays an important role in the daily operations of your business and paves the way for future growth. Making it scalable, compliant, secure, and ready to support your growth trajectory is pivotal to success. From planning for cybersecurity threats, licensing clean ups, policy gap fixes, compliance accountability, and cloud infrastructure updates, Frosty helps manage every technology consideration within your business through the lens of risk reduction.

A strategy first framework
Plan and manage your technology, security, and compliance initiatives strategically by connecting priorities to the bigger picture of where you are going and how you will get there.
Guaranteed alignment
Achieve alignment across your organization by agreeing on risk appetite, strategic priorities, and known operational gaps. Alignment allows you to decide what to do, and importantly, what to do next.
Risk reduction tracking
Uncover risk in the business through Frosty’s comprehensive framework which covers every possible corner of your technology infrastructure. Where risk is higher than you’d like it, plan for and track risk reduction as initiatives are completed.
Priority and timing
Not every important initiative is urgent. Frosty helps you prioritize what to do next by assessing the quantum of risk reduction it represents. Decide what to do now and plan three years out with aligned budgets and no surprises.
