WHY US
Why TECHLINQ?
Using generalist auditors for specific IT audits will not generate optimal results as the generalist auditors lack real world experience and often recommend best practice approaches that without contextual understanding, fail in implementation. All of TECHLINQ Consulting audit products are focused on providing the required oversight to the organisations executive, but also provide truly actionable advice to IT on how to improve their service levels to the business.
These core products include:
- IT Operations Audit
- External Service Provider Operations Audit
- IT Infrastructure Audit
- IT Governance and compliance Audit
- IT Risk Audit
- Business/IT alignment Audit
- Internal Audit function Technology SME
Each of these Audits provide a management report that identifies any areas of concern, considers industry benchmarks and make recommendations in terms of “Actionable Advice” on how measurable improvements can be made. The focus of each audit is tailored to suit our client’s individual needs or concerns, common areas of concern include:
- IT skills
- Process maturity
- Documentation
- Software licensing and hardware lifecycle management
- Helpdesk service levels
- Financial & budget management issues
- Project benefit realization
- Technology and operational efficiency
- Infrastructure performance & vulnerabilities
- Security risks

- Proactive and Preventative maintenance
- Recoverability and Data integrity
- Failure point identification
- Governance effectiveness
- Policy compliance
TECHLINQ utilizes a formal IT Audit methodology that applies its specific Technology to Business alignment focus to the traditional IT Audit governance process. While the traditional approach simply looks for compliance against control measures, we take a broader view of the efficiency and effectiveness of these controls in ensuring alignment between business and IT goals. If you outsource your IT capabilities, or manage your own IT department it is good business practice to regularly undertake IT Audit processes using an independent 3rd party such as TECHLINQ.
