An audit that gives you a decision - not a presentation

IT systems audit

An audit of IT systems in cloudTSL is not a checklist or a report to be put in a drawer. This is a technical and business analysis that answers one question: what exactly should be changed in the system to make it safer, cheaper to maintain and ready for development.

We work with systems often created 10-15 years ago, developed over the years without coherent architecture, documentation and up-to-date security measures. An audit allows you to name problems, calculate their cost and plan sensible modernization - without rewriting everything from scratch.

When does a system audit make sense?

An audit is especially necessary if:

  • the system was created a few or a dozen years ago
  • it was developed by many people or companies
  • it works, but any change is risky
  • maintenance and manual labor costs are increasing
  • you are planning online/remote work/integration
  • you are afraid of failure, data leakage or attack
  • you want to implement automation or AI, but you don't know where to start

An audit does not mean that the system is "bad". It means you want to make decisions based on facts, not guesswork.

An audit is not a “verdict.”

It gives you an information advantage. It helps you understand the real state of your technology before it becomes a growth barrier or a target for attack.

What do we check in an IT systems audit?

01

Architecture and code

  • application structure and dependencies
  • bottlenecks and failure points
  • quality and consistency of solutions
  • elements that hinder development and scaling
We don't evaluate the "niceness of the code" - we check whether it can be developed safely.
02

Security

  • method of storing and processing data
  • user access and roles
  • vulnerabilities typical of older applications
  • risk of failure, data loss and attacks
We treat security practically, not in compliance terms.
03

Costs (technical and operational)

  • infrastructure maintenance costs
  • development and change costs
  • costs of manual work around the system
  • places where the system generates "hidden debt"
It is often processes outside the system that are the most expensive.
04

Ready for modernization

  • which can be modernized gradually
  • which requires reconstruction
  • which is better left alone
  • where automation makes sense and where it does not
An audit does not involve rewriting everything.

How do we work?

We combine practical technical experience with an understanding of business processes and costs, which is why:

we understand the realities of legacy code
we know that "rewrite" is often an error
we look at the system from the inside, not from PowerPoint
we design changes that can be implemented in stages

The audit is based on:

technical talks
architecture analysis
review of key parts of the system
analysis of processes around the system

Without unnecessary ceremony.

What do you get after the audit?

Depending on the scope of the audit, you receive:

description of the current system state
list of real risks (technical and business)
identification of the largest sources of costs
modernization recommendations (what, when, why)
proposal for further steps

In extended variants:

estimation of costs and potential savings
modernization map (roadmap)
scenarios: minimum / optimal / ultimate
The audit ends with a conversation, not just a report.

For whom is the audit the most valuable?

  • develop their own business applications
  • they use systems created years ago
  • they plan changes, but want to reduce the risk
  • they want to reduce the costs of manual work
  • they need a technical decision partner

When an audit may not make sense

if the system is very simple and fresh
if you don't plan any changes
if you are just looking for a "compliance stamp"

In such cases, we will say it directly.

Audit as the first step to modernization

The audit does not oblige you to further cooperation. But very often it is the cheapest way to avoid incorrect modernization, not to burn the budget and not to stop the business halfway.

If you decide to modernize with cloudTSL, the audit cost is deducted from the implementation price (in accordance with the conditions on the website).

Schedule a conversation about the audit

We don't start with sales. We start with a short conversation to check whether the audit makes sense in your case, what scope will be appropriate and what you really need.
