Do You Know Where Your 'IT' Is?

How long has it been since you’ve had an IT audit of your organization?

Have you added new technology in your company in the last several years?  Are your systems documented with graphical depictions or illustrations that provide current information about your server environment, external security, internal security, and your back up system?  Do you know how your virus software is updated and company and client personal and confidential information is secured?   How up to date are your mission critical systems and what productivity gains are you missing as a result of older versions of software?  Does your business intelligence provide you the information that you need readily and in the most efficient and reliable manner?  Is your reporting capability timely and hassle-free?  What is your plan for a single point of failure contact for your IT system?  What plan is in place if that contact is not available?  Do you have a disaster recovery plan?  These are just a few of the questions that can plague an IT environment if these issues are not thought through, provisioned for and properly documented before an incident occurs.  An annual IT audit is a sound annual business practice.
