Technology Audit in Derby
A structured review of everything a Derby business runs — systems, licences, contracts, security posture and the people who hold the knowledge. Commissioned before an acquisition, after inheriting an estate, or when the honest answer to what do we actually have is that nobody knows.
Why this comes up
The problem
No single person can list the systems the business depends on. Licences are paid for staff who left, contracts renew unexamined, and critical knowledge sits with one person nobody has documented.
What you get
What we deliver
- A complete inventory of systems, licences, subscriptions and who owns each
- Contract and renewal positions, including notice periods and exit terms
- Security posture assessed at a level a board can act on
- Key person dependencies identified, since those are the least visible risk
- Costs consolidated, which usually reveals overlapping tools and dormant licences
- Findings ranked by risk and by recoverable cost rather than listed flat

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what technology audit would actually involve — whether or not you use us.
Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Technology Audit in Derby — common questions
- What usually comes as the biggest surprise?
- Spend. Duplicate tools bought by different departments, licences for people who left years ago, and subscriptions renewing on a card nobody reviews. The recovered cost frequently exceeds the audit fee within the first year.
- Is this the same as a security audit?
- No, though it covers posture at a level that identifies whether a deeper security assessment is warranted. A dedicated penetration test or Cyber Essentials assessment goes considerably further on that specific question.
- We are acquiring a business. Is this the right work?
- For the technology view, yes — systems, licences, contracts and key person risk. Where the target's own software is the asset being bought, technical due diligence goes deeper into the code and the team.
- What do we get at the end?
- An inventory you keep and a ranked findings list, written so a non-technical director can act on it. Handing over a spreadsheet of systems without a judgement on what matters is not worth commissioning.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
