Security , Licensing and Network Audit
A security,
licensing
and network audit proactively looks at your
current setup and documents it for future
reference.
You can then decide if changes are required in
order to give you a higher level of security
(from both internal as well as external
threats), while still allowing users to work
productively.

Licensing is often overlooked, especially by small
companies. However, the penalties can be
large if you are caught with unlicensed
operating systems or applications: the
managing director can be held personally
responsible, and prosecuted.
An independent audit measures that you know what
you have got, and can decide on the
appropriate licensing measures.
