What is an IT MOT?
Like an MOT, but for your business IT
A practical review of your business IT, with findings you can understand and act on.
If you run a business without your own IT person, your technology probably just ticks along in the background with nobody really keeping an eye on it. It works, mostly, right up until the day it does not.
Most IT trouble builds up quietly. Out-of-date software, weak passwords, backups that were never tested and old user accounts that should have been closed years ago. You rarely see any of it coming.
An IT MOT helps you see those risks. In around 35 to 45 minutes, remotely or on-site, we review the main areas of your IT and explain the findings, with no obligation to take anything further.
What we check
The six areas we look at
We score each area with a simple traffic light. Green where no issue was identified, amber for items to look at, and red for risks needing attention. You get the results in plain English, not a 40-page audit that leaves you more confused than when you started.
Backups & recovery
Your backup arrangements, the data they cover and any available evidence of restore testing. We explain where more investigation or a separate recovery test is needed.
Microsoft 365 & email
How your email, OneDrive and SharePoint are set up, who can see what, and whether anything has been left wide open.
Network & Wi-Fi
Your router, firewall and Wi-Fi. Is it fast and reliable, and is it set up in a way that keeps your business safe?
Devices & hardware
What machines you're running, how old they are, and whether there's a sensible plan for replacing them before they fail.
Accounts & access
User accounts, admin rights and what happens when someone joins or leaves. Forgotten logins are a favourite way in for attackers.
The IT MOT is an initial review of the information and access available. Your report identifies anything we could not check. A green finding applies to the area reviewed; it is not a security certification or a guarantee against future problems. Recovery testing and remedial work are agreed separately.
Is it for you?
An IT MOT is especially handy if...
If any of these sound familiar, it's a good place to start.
You have no in-house IT
You rely on your tech every day, but there's nobody whose actual job is to look after it.
You are growing fast
You are taking on people and want to be sure your systems can keep pace without falling over.
You have had a scare
After a virus, a near miss or lost work, you want a clearer view of the risks and what to improve.
You want a second opinion
You already have an IT provider but are not certain you are getting what you pay for.
How it works

We've kept it simple, and it takes up as little of your day as possible.

FAQ
Common questions
A few things people usually want to know before requesting an IT MOT.
Yes. There's no charge and no obligation. We do it because a business that understands its IT makes better decisions, whether that ends up involving us or not.
Usually around 35 to 45 minutes. We work around your day and keep the disruption to a minimum.
Not at all. We're based in Somerset and mostly work locally, but most of the check can be done remotely, so we can help businesses further afield too.
We plan the review around your working day and agree any hands-on access in advance. Anything likely to affect your team is discussed before we proceed.
Yes, and treat it as a second opinion. If everything's in good order, that's worth knowing. If there are gaps, you'll want to be aware of them.
We talk you through the findings and leave you with your report and 60-day plan. If there's something we can help with, we'll explain how. If not, there's no pressure at all.
