Technology audit checklist

A board-ready checklist for assessing your current technology posture in 90 minutes. Print, walk through it with your IT lead, decide what needs investigation.

Published 10 Oct 2025

What this tool does

Most technology audits take three weeks and cost $30K+. This checklist is not a replacement, it is the 90-minute version that tells you whether you actually need the three-week version.

Inside the tool

What it includes

  • 60 yes/no questions across 6 domains (security, contracts, vendors, costs, capability, governance)
  • Each item scored and rolled up into a director-grade dashboard
  • Red-amber-green summary suitable for the next board pack
  • No data leaves your computer, runs entirely client-side

How to use it

  1. Print the checklist or walk through it on screen with your IT lead
  2. Answer each item honestly (the value is in the gaps, not the green ticks)
  3. Use the red items as the agenda for your next operational review
  4. Take the summary into your next board meeting as evidence-led reporting
