Architecture and ownership
Domains, service contracts, responsibility boundaries, legacy zones, change cost and architecture debt points.
- domain model
- service contracts
- ownership
Technical IT audit before growth, budget approval or migration
We review architecture, server infrastructure, databases, Bitrix/portal, integrations, security baseline, SLA/SLO, RPO/RTO and technical debt. The business receives a risk map, cost of inaction and change roadmap.
- Architecture audit
- Server audit
- Database audit
- Bitrix audit
- technical debt
- Risk map
Which search requests this service matches
We map similar search wording into engineering scope, artifacts, roadmap and a clear next step.
What we inspect during the technical audit
The audit builds a full picture: from business risks to concrete bottlenecks in infrastructure, code, integrations and operations.
Servers, databases and performance
Capacity plan, CPU/RAM/storage, IOPS, PostgreSQL/MS SQL, backup, latency, resilience and readiness for growth.
- PostgreSQL
- IOPS
- backup
Security baseline and access
VPN, firewall, DDoS, SIEM/logging, roles, admin access, compliance requirements and baseline risk zones.
- VPN
- SIEM
- access control
Artifacts the team receives
The result is useful for decisions, budget and delivery: it can be discussed with CEO, CTO, operations and vendors.
Risk map and impact
Risk map with impact on revenue, SLA, security, release timeline and operational cost.
Change roadmap
Priorities, quick wins, dependencies, acceptance criteria and delivery stages without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Executive brief
Short brief for owner, CEO or CTO: cost of inaction, solution options and the next step.
How the audit works
We work in short iterations: collect inputs, inspect key contours and deliver an actionable plan.
- 1. Scope and accessWe document the goal, constraints, systems, roles, available data and success criteria.
- 2. DiagnosticsWe inspect architecture, infrastructure, databases, integrations, security and operating rules.
- 3. Decision defenseWe present risks, cost of inaction, priorities and budget logic for delivery.
Request route, budget and SLA for Technical IT audit
Before kickoff, SO-TECH documents the business goal, scope, constraints, SLA/SLO, RPO/RTO, risk map, budget logic and the next safe step.
Team and communication: Technical IT audit
The legal and communication center is in Moscow; interviews, reviews, artifact demos and support can run remotely with clear communication slots and owners.
- Moscow
- remote
- owner
How we estimate budget, SLA/SLO and risk map
The estimate depends on system count, diagnostic depth, access to logs and metrics, downtime risk, required artifacts, deadline and decision-defense format.
- budget
- SLA/SLO
- risk map
What to send for a fast start
Describe the goal, current system, critical services, integrations, symptoms, timeline, budget constraints, available diagrams and desired artifact: risk map, roadmap, executive brief or delivery control.
- scope
- timeline
- artifact
When technical audit points to a storage contour
If the bottleneck is tied to data growth, IOPS, backup window, retention, restore test or RPO/RTO, we turn the risk map into storage architecture, capacity plan and a recovery plan.
- IOPS
- retention
- restore test
When technical audit points to colocation
If the risk is tied to owned hardware, power, network, data center access, remote hands, backup or placement SLA/SLO, we turn audit findings into rack space and an operations runbook.
- rack space
- remote hands
- placement SLA/SLO
When technical audit points to a Bitrix audit
If the risk map points to Bitrix D7, ORM, REST/API, access rights, performance, an upgrade-safe roadmap, SEO or IndexNow, we split out a Bitrix audit with a safe remediation plan.
- Bitrix D7
- REST/API
- IndexNow
When the audit points to a security contour
If risks are tied to firewall, VPN, access, logging, SIEM, DDoS or production security baseline, we turn audit findings into protected server infrastructure.
- firewall/VPN
- SIEM
- security baseline
When the audit points to a database server
If the bottleneck is in PostgreSQL, MS SQL, MySQL, 1C/ERP, IOPS, RAM profile, latency, backup or replication, we turn the risk map into database server sizing and a migration plan.
- PostgreSQL/MS SQL
- high IOPS
- replication
Technical IT audit FAQ
Short answers about scope, result and boundaries.
When is a technical IT audit needed?
Before growth, migration, modernization budget, vendor change, critical launch or recurring incidents without a clear cause.
Can we start without full production access?
Yes. We can start with interviews, diagrams, configs, logs, metrics and read-only data. Critical access is agreed separately.
What happens after the audit?
You receive a risk map, roadmap, executive brief and next steps. If needed, SO-TECH supports implementation through delivery control.
How much does Technical IT audit cost and what affects the budget?
The cost of Technical IT audit depends on scope, number of systems, access model, diagnostic depth, SLA/SLO, downtime risk, urgency and required artifacts. We first document the goal, constraints and expected output, then propose the work format instead of a generic made-up price.
What is included in Technical IT audit at the start?
At the start we collect the business goal, constraints, symptoms, available diagrams, configs, logs, metrics, dependencies and success criteria. Then we prepare a risk map, roadmap, next steps and artifacts that can support budget approval or delivery.
When should you choose Technical IT audit versus another consulting service?
If the task clearly belongs to this contour, start with Technical IT audit. If the question is broader, compare technical audit, CTO session, architecture audit, Bitrix audit, infrastructure audit and delivery control by risk, timeline, budget and expected outcome.
