IT Security Audit Perth
Most Perth businesses discover their IT security gaps one of two ways: through an audit, or through a breach. A structured review of your environment, with a clear, prioritised plan to fix what's found.

The Six Areas We Cover
An IT security audit is a structured review, not an active attack - it documents what exists in your environment, evaluates it against best practice, and produces a prioritised list of findings for remediation.
Identity & Access
MFA coverage, admin account hygiene, stale accounts, least privilege, and password policy.
Endpoint Security
EDR/antivirus coverage, patch management, disk encryption, BYOD controls, and device decommissioning.
Network Security
Firewall configuration, network segmentation, remote access, exposed ports, and DNS filtering.
Data & Backup
Backup coverage and isolation, whether restores are actually tested, retention windows, and data classification.
Email & Collaboration
SPF/DKIM/DMARC, anti-phishing controls, external mail warnings, and your Microsoft 365 security score.
Policies & Awareness
Staff security training, acceptable use policy, incident response process, and third-party vendor access.
Find the Gaps Before an Attacker Does
Identity is the most common entry point for attackers - an audit almost always finds stale accounts or MFA gaps most businesses didn't know they had.
Backups are the other recurring surprise: most businesses are confident they're protected, but haven't actually tested a restore. A backup that's never been tested may not work when it's needed most.
The cost of a one-to-two day audit is typically far less than the cost of a single incident - and unlike a breach, you get to choose when it happens.
What's included
- Structured review across all six areas - identity, endpoint, network, data/backup, email, and policy
- Findings report rated by severity - critical, high, medium, low
- A clear, prioritised remediation plan, not just a list of problems
- Plain-English explanations - no jargon, no scare tactics
- Typically one to two days of assessment work, with findings back within a week
- Optional re-assessment once remediation work is complete
Our Audit Process
From discovery to a clear, prioritised report - typically one to two days of assessment work.
Discovery
We review your current environment - devices, identity systems, network, backup setup, and existing policies.
Assessment
Each of the six areas is assessed against best practice, identifying what's missing, misconfigured, or overlooked.
Findings Report
You receive a report with every finding rated by severity, in plain English - not a wall of technical jargon.
Remediation & Re-Check
We can implement the fixes, then re-assess to confirm the gaps have actually been closed.
IT Security Audit FAQs
What is an IT security audit?
A structured review of your technology environment to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and gaps in your security controls. Unlike a penetration test, which actively attempts to exploit weaknesses, an audit documents what exists, evaluates it against best practice, and produces a prioritised list of findings.
What does a security audit cover?
For most Perth SMBs, a security audit covers six main areas: identity and access management, endpoint security, network security, data and backup, email and collaboration security, and policies and staff awareness.
What happens after the audit?
A good audit produces a findings report rated by severity - critical, high, medium, low - along with a remediation plan explaining exactly what needs to be done to fix each issue, not just a list of problems.
How long does an IT security audit take?
For most Perth SMBs, a security audit takes one to two days of assessment work and produces actionable findings within a week.
How is this different from the Essential Eight or NIST CSF assessments?
This is a general-purpose audit covering the fundamentals across your whole environment. Essential Eight and NIST CSF assessments benchmark you against a specific named framework, which some insurers, boards, and tenders require by name. Many businesses start with a general audit, then move to a framework-specific assessment once they need to demonstrate compliance against one.
