FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are you tied to any vendor?
No. We don't resell software licences, so our recommendations aren't influenced by commissions.
What do we get at the end of an audit?
A written report with findings ranked by risk, concrete recommendations and an estimate for each, presented in a meeting with your team.
How long does a technical audit take?
Most audits take one to three weeks, depending on the size of the system.
Can you implement the recommendations too?
Yes, if you want. But the audit is independent, and you're free to use another team.
