Small Business Tech Audit Kit: 51 checks + Excel tracker

Not sure who owns your domain, whether your backups actually work, or which ex-staff can still log in? This kit helps UK small business owners with 1 to 20 staff and no IT person find out in about an hour.

You get 51 plain-English checks across eight areas: domains and email, accounts and passwords, backups, devices, Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace, your website, people, and money leaks. Each check asks a simple question, explains why it matters in one line, and shows what "good" looks like. Mark it Red, Amber or Green and you'll quickly see where the real gaps are.

The tracker spreadsheet works out your Tech Health Score, flags renewals that are due, and keeps a record of who has access to what. There's also a fill-in "Who to call" page and a one-page plan for a lost laptop or a hacked account.

Written by Hampstead IT, a service for small businesses. No jargon, no scare stories.
