How Entech Performs IT Assessments

A Strategic, Educational Approach

Our philosophy at Entech centers on education over fear.  Rather than relying on scare tactics, our IT assessments focus on transparency and knowledge-sharing, helping clients understand their current technology landscape and the risks they may face.  The process is about uncovering the truth of your IT infrastructure and using that knowledge to drive informed, strategic decisions.

Step 1: Data Collection and Deep Analysis

The assessment begins with a thorough examination of your entire IT ecosystem.  Our team collects detailed data on your infrastructure, including hardware, software, network architecture, and security controls.  This process may involve diagnostic tools that gather live inventory and system information, ensuring a comprehensive view without disrupting your operations or compromising your data privacy.

Step 2: Baseline Evaluation and Gap Identification

Once the data is collected, we lay out a clear, objective picture of your current IT state.  This includes identifying:

• Security vulnerabilities (both internal and external)
• Operational inefficiencies
• Compliance gaps (such as with NIST or SOC 2 standards)
• Data recoverability and backup integrity
• Employee technology usage and productivity
• Alignment with industry best practices

We use frameworks like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to benchmark your security posture and ensure your business is prepared to identify, detect, and respond to evolving threats.

Step 3: Vulnerability Scanning and Best Practice Assessment

The assessment includes both internal and external vulnerability scans, providing a clear understanding of risks from inside and outside your network.  We review firewall configurations, access controls, endpoint protections, and more, testing your environment against recognized best practices.

Step 4: Remediation Roadmap and Strategic Planning

With all the findings documented, we work collaboratively with your leadership to build a remediation roadmap.  This tailored plan prioritizes risk mitigation, operational improvements, and compliance initiatives, ensuring your technology supports your business goals both now and in the future.

Step 5: Ongoing Support and Continuous Improvement

We don’t stop at the assessment.  We offer ongoing monitoring, regular audits, and periodic reassessments to ensure your IT environment remains secure, efficient, and aligned with your evolving business needs.  Regular reports and audits—weekly for backups and security, monthly for service quality, and annually for hardware and software—help maintain optimal performance and minimize risk.
