An IT Health Check (ITHC) is a vital compliance requirement for any organisation working within the public services sector.

The purpose of an IT Health Check is to make sure your organisation’s internal and external systems are secure with adequate protection to reduce security threats. If you’re working within the public sector, the chances are you’re handling a lot of official sensitive data, and it’s crucial that this information is properly protected to prevent unauthorised access.

Why an IT Health Check is essential for all public sector organisations

IT Health Check overview

An ITHC is an essential compliance requirement for any organisation working within the public services sector. Without it, your business is unable to access the Public Services Network (PSN) – the government’s own high-performance network.

The PSN is designed to help public sector organisations operate more effectively and efficiently, working closely with each other, sharing resources and communicating with third-party suppliers and service providers over a secure network.

Fines and compliance

Lack of certification can be damaging for business

4X

of turnover fines are for data breaches

16%

of tests found evidence of a previous breach

3M

records have been stolen from breaches since 2013

If you want to qualify for a valid PSN compliance certificate, an ITHC from a government-approved cyber security specialist like us is a must.

We’ll perform ITHC for your organisation, providing an independent assessment of your IT infrastructure. We’ll make sure you meet all the necessary requirements for PSN accreditation, which will put you in the running for those all important tenders.

An ITHC allows your business to access the government’s high-performance network: the Public Services Network (PSN).

Here's something to think about

Since 2017 there has been a 14% (from 72% to 86%) rise in businesses experiencing phishing attacks. And that’s just in those organisations who report them!

In 2019, it was reported that 23.2 million hacking victims had “123456” set as their password. Something as simple as educating your workforce in how to set and update strong passwords could make a real difference.

Learn more about IT Health checks

An IT Health Check is an essential measure of your organisation’s inner IT workings to make sure that there are no security weaknesses or potential problems waiting in the wings. As well as ensuring that systems are properly set up, an IT Health Check helps to safeguard against the expense of lost productivity and business downtime. It establishes that adequate protection in place against the possibility of unauthorised entry.

An IT Health Check audits your organisation’s entire IT set up, detecting potential vulnerabilities or issues and putting in place a plan of remediation as quickly as possible. This health check ensures that best practices and processes are consistently followed across your organisation’s computer systems to establish proper IT usage, stability and function.

An IT Health Check gives you assurance that your organisation’s external systems are fully protected against unauthorised changes or access. It also offers peace of mind that there are no weaknesses on your network’s infrastructure or on any individual systems, which could allow internal devices to unintentionally (or intentionally!) lead to a security breach.

A report will be issued following the IT Health Check, summarising the number of issues detected, the types of issues detected, and how severe they are. All vulnerabilities will be properly identified and explained, and a solution to each problem will be indicated. Organisations can then put measures in place as quickly as possible in order to mitigate the risks.
