EBS IT Health Checks

Keeping Your Business Systems Healthy, Secure and Ready to Grow

In today’s tech-driven world, it’s easy for IT systems to fall out of shape without you noticing. Outdated servers, missed updates or forgotten backups can quickly turn into big problems. That’s why EBS created the IT Health Check – a clear, friendly review of your IT setup that highlights what’s working, what needs attention, and where to focus next, using a simple traffic-light system.

What Exactly Is an IT Health Check?

Think of it as a full MOT for your IT systems. Our technical team takes a detailed look at your hardware, software, and network, making sure everything is safe, up to date and running as efficiently as possible.

Unlike a one-off audit, the EBS Health Check is proactive and practical. We don’t just list problems – we explain why they matter and how to fix them in plain English. Better still, if you’re an EBS IT support customer, you get one free every year.

How it works:

  1. On-site visit – one of our engineers spends time at your site reviewing everything from your internet connection to your wireless network and endpoints.
  2. Technical deep dive – we review how your systems are configured, how backups run, and how well your defences are holding up.
  3. Conversations that matter – we speak to both IT contacts and everyday users to understand real-life frustrations and goals.
  4. Business alignment – we make sure your IT supports your wider business objectives, compliance requirements, and certifications like Cyber Essentials.
  5. Your report – you’ll receive a clear, friendly report showing critical issues (red), areas to watch (amber) and things that are already in great shape (green).

It’s not just a checklist – it’s a roadmap for making your IT stronger, safer, and smarter.

Why It Matters

When systems are healthy, your business runs smoothly. When they’re not, problems can snowball fast – from downtime and data loss to cyberattacks and compliance issues.

Recent UK data shows that:

  • Around 50% of SMEs have suffered a cyber incident in the last year.
  • The average spend on proactive IT support is just £5,000 per year – a small price compared to the cost of a breach.

An EBS IT Health Check helps you stay one step ahead. It’s not about finding fault – it’s about giving you peace of mind, a plan for improvement, and a clearer understanding of your IT landscape.

Annual Review and Continous Improvement

Each year’s health check builds on the last. We track your scores, monitor improvements, and highlight any areas that may need more focus.

That consistency helps you:

  • Stay compliant with frameworks like Cyber Essentials
  • Plan hardware refreshes before warranties expire
  • Benchmark IT performance and progress year-on-year

It’s not just a report – it’s an evolving picture of your organisation’s IT health.

How an IT Health Check can help your business

From multiple software systems to a reliance on Excel, to manual processes and paperwork, to connectivity issues to the effect on staff, the problems of poor tech can be never-ending. EBS discuss how reviewing your business and auditing your IT with an IT Health Check can overcome these challenges.
