Business technology

Business IT Assessment
Understand where your technology stands — and what to improve next.
A practical, independent review of your business technology, Microsoft 365, cybersecurity, devices, backup and resilience.
Fixed price£195
The full assessment fee is credited against recommended work completed by DMSCrow within 60 days.
This is a paid professional assessment — not a free sales consultation disguised as an audit.
What we review
A practical look across the technology your business depends on.
The assessment is designed for small and growing businesses that want a clearer understanding of risk, reliability, cost and future priorities.
Microsoft 365
Licensing, users, administrator access, MFA, email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and the overall security posture of your tenant.
Devices and access
Computers, laptops, operating systems, updates, encryption, administrator rights, endpoint protection and remote-working arrangements.
Cybersecurity
Identity protection, passwords, MFA, email security, antivirus, firewalls, user risk and practical security controls.
Backup and recovery
How business data is protected, where backups are held, retention arrangements and whether recovery has been tested.
Network and resilience
Internet connectivity, Wi-Fi, routers, firewalls, switches, guest access, business continuity and key points of failure.
What you receive
Clear findings you can understand and act on.
The value of the assessment is not simply identifying technical issues. It is turning them into sensible business priorities.
- Plain-English executive summary
- Red, amber and green risk overview
- Prioritised findings and recommendations
- Immediate quick wins
- Suggested 3, 6 and 12-month roadmap
- Indicative next steps and likely investment areas
- Recommendations review meeting
How it works
A straightforward process from review to action plan.
Initial questionnaire
We gather basic information about your business, users, devices, current suppliers and the challenges you are experiencing.
Assessment
The review is completed remotely, onsite or through a combination of both, depending on your environment and location.
Written report
You receive a clear assessment of the current position, the most important risks and a prioritised improvement plan.
Recommendations meeting
We talk through the findings, answer questions and help you decide what should be addressed first.
Who it is for
A sensible starting point when you need clarity.
The assessment is particularly useful when technology has grown organically, responsibility is unclear or you are considering a new IT support relationship.
- Businesses without dedicated internal IT expertise
- Companies reviewing their current IT provider
- Teams concerned about Microsoft 365 security
- Businesses unsure whether backup is adequate
- Organisations preparing for growth or change
- Owners who want a clear, independent second opinion
Clear scope
What the assessment is — and what it is not.
The Business IT Assessment is a high-level technology and security health review based on the systems, information and access made available to DMSCrow.
It is not a penetration test, formal compliance certification, forensic investigation or guarantee that every technical weakness will be identified. Specialist testing can be recommended separately where appropriate.
Larger or unusually complex environments may require a separately scoped assessment. We will always discuss this before work begins.
