How healthy is your portfolio company's technology?

A self-assessment, scored from your own answers, so it is a starting point rather than a finding. The technology health check is the version that reads the systems themselves.

Where to start

A two week technology health check. One document. No obligation.

Fixed scope, fixed price. It reads your systems and tells you what is wrong, what each fix costs, and what to do first. You keep the report either way.

Technology health check 2 weeks

What it turns up

  • Licences paid for and not used
  • Firewall rules nobody has reviewed since install
  • Administrator accounts with no owner
  • Reports built on a source that stopped updating
  • An integration failing quietly, nobody alerted

What it reads live

  • Licences, systems and what they cost waiting
  • Network, remote access and segmentation waiting
  • Cloud tenant, identity and admin rights waiting
  • Core systems and how they connect waiting
  • Reporting, data quality and access waiting

One document: what is wrong, what it costs to fix, and what to fix first.
