How often should we audit our IT infrastructure?
Most growing businesses benefit from a full IT infrastructure audit annually, with lighter quarterly check-ins on security patching, backup testing, and hardware lifecycle status. Companies going through rapid headcount growth, an office move, or a compliance push should audit sooner rather than waiting for the next scheduled cycle.
Annual audits catch the big structural issues, but the things that actually cause outages — an unpatched server, a backup job that silently stopped running months ago — get missed in a once-a-year snapshot. The businesses with the fewest surprises tend to treat the annual audit as the deep review and pair it with lightweight monitoring in between.
