Canadian IT audit services that examine the running estate, then price every finding.
One Canadian team examines the estate, scores it, and prices the fixes, so a technology audit ends in a funded order of work instead of a list of unpriced risks.
We read configs, contracts, and topology, not a questionnaire your team fills in. An infrastructure assessment covers network, servers, cloud, identity, backups, and end-of-support state.
Firewall rules, segmentation, patch state, and identity, tested against how you actually run. A network security assessment asks whether the design would contain an incident, not just whether a scanner found a known CVE.
We produce the evidence your insurer or auditor asks for, before they ask: patch records, restore tests, segmentation, and access control, in the form the questionnaire wants it.
A Canadian breach averages $7.11M and runs 205 days from detection to containment (source: IBM Canada, 2026-07-29). An audit's job is to shorten both.
IN PRODUCTION
Most of what gets sold as an IT health check comes back as a spreadsheet of risks with no prices and no order, so nobody reads it twice. We sort findings by what would actually hurt you, put a cost against each, and name the ones your own team can close that week. A finding nobody can price isn't a finding. It's a worry.
I run this practice, so this is written by the engineer who'll read your configs, not a product page.
A financial-controls IT audit tests whether your controls satisfy an auditor or a framework, and it ends in an opinion or an attestation. Accounting firms do that, and for a SOC 2 or a statutory audit you want one. What we do is an engineering IT audit: we examine the running estate and tell you what's broken, what it costs to fix, and what order to fix it in. No opinion, no attestation, just findings with evidence and a price against each. If a vendor won't say which of the two they're selling, that's your answer.
Our technology audit reads the systems, because self-assessment forms record what your team believes and the gap between belief and configuration is where every incident lives. Risk clusters in three places: the firewall rule somebody added at 2am in 2022 and nobody removed, the device outside your patch process because it predates it, and the admin account belonging to someone who left. An infrastructure assessment finds those by looking. Then we price the fix and say which findings you can close yourselves.
A breach here averages $7.11M and runs 205 days from detection to containment (source: IBM Canada, 2026-07-29). Bill C-8 got royal assent on 2026-06-15, its Part 2 rules are law but not in force and no operators are designated yet, so an audit that tells you where you'd stand is cheap insurance against a deadline nobody's set. PIPEDA never transfers accountability to a vendor. Quebec's Law 25 applies if you have customers there.
Four steps, and none of them is a workshop. Most audits start by asking your team to describe the estate, which produces a document about what people remember. An IT assessment should read the configuration instead and come back with what's there, because those two things always differ and the difference is the report. Findings arrive with evidence: the rule, the version, the log line. Every finding carries a price and a severity, so the report sorts itself.
Configs, topology, contracts, licence state, patch levels, and identity. Read-only access, nothing changed, and anything that needs a live test gets booked with your team first.
Checks run against how you actually run, not a generic template: segmentation, firewall rules, patch and end-of-support state, backup restores, and who holds admin rights.
Every finding gets a severity, the evidence behind it, and a cost to fix. We name the ones you can close without us, because those are usually the fastest risk reduction you'll get.
Once remediation lands we go back and verify the fixes held. An audit nobody retests is a snapshot, not a control, and a snapshot is what your insurer will not accept next renewal.
Answers first, including what we don't do. An architect takes the call.
