What does an Emirtech IT health check actually deliver?
An IT health check is a layer of IT operations that is easy to skip — many businesses run for years on infrastructure that gradually drifts from the original design without anyone systematically reviewing what is actually in place, what has changed, what is not patched, what has been forgotten and what risk has accumulated. Emirtech delivers a documented technical audit covering eight layers: (1) Network & firewall — current VLAN structure, firewall rules, internet-exposed services, segmentation effectiveness, logging configuration; (2) Identity & M365 — MFA coverage, Conditional Access, admin accounts, privileged-access controls, joiners/movers/leavers gaps, M365 tenant configuration; (3) Endpoint security — EDR coverage, deployed product, policy tuning, missing endpoints, patch status; (4) Server & storage — server age, OS version, RAID and disk health, end-of-life hardware, server-room environmental state; (5) Backup & DR — what is backed up, retention, off-site copies, immutable configuration, last-tested-restore date; (6) CCTV — ADMCC compliance status, camera health, retention, NVR / VMS configuration, blind spots; (7) Wi-Fi & access — current Wi-Fi platform, coverage, captive portal, BYOD policy, biometric / card access configuration; (8) Documentation & AMC — current network diagram, credentials handover state, current AMC scope and gaps. The output is a prioritised gap-and-recommendation report — what is working, what is broken or risky, what should be addressed immediately and what can wait. The audit is technical only — we are not delivering ISO 27001, ADHICS or PDPL audit as a regulatory exercise, just an honest technical review of where your IT and security stand. As a security and IT systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) based in Mussafah M44 since 2018, we deliver across every Abu Dhabi district plus Al Ain, and, in Dubai, smart home, PABX and IP-PBX phone systems, IT AMC and time attendance through scheduled on-site visits.

When customers engage us for a health check
Common audit drivers
Post-acquisition / merger
After acquiring another business or merging operations — understanding what infrastructure was inherited, what risks come with it and what needs immediate remediation.
New CIO / IT manager joining
New CIO, IT manager or office manager joining wanting to understand what they have actually inherited — independent technical review provides a baseline.
Pre-compliance audit preparation
Preparing for ISO 27001, ADHICS, PCI-DSS or PDPL audit — understanding the technical gaps before the formal audit so they can be addressed.
Post-incident review
After a security incident or near-miss — understanding what failed, what was missing and what needs to be strengthened.
How an Emirtech IT health check unfolds
A typical audit engagement:
- Scoping call: Understand the environment, headcount, sites, current platforms and the driver for the audit (acquisition, new CIO, pre-compliance, post-incident, general review).
- On-site discovery: On-site review of network, firewall, server room, CCTV, identity, M365, endpoints, documentation.
- Configuration review: Read-only access to firewall, switches, AD, M365 tenant, EDR console, backup platform for direct configuration review.
- Internet-exposed scan: External scan identifying internet-exposed services that should not be exposed.
- Documentation review: Network diagrams, IP plans, AMC scope, credentials handover, compliance documentation.
- Report: Prioritised gap-and-recommendation report grouped by severity (immediate, high, medium, low) with proposed remediation and rough effort estimate per item.
- Handover & debrief: Walk-through of report with the customer's IT lead, prioritisation discussion and remediation roadmap.
Emirtech is an independent integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems). The IT health check is technical due diligence only — we are not delivering ISO 27001, ADHICS, PCI-DSS or PDPL audit as a regulatory exercise. Customers can use the report as input to their own compliance programme, share with their accredited auditor, or use it to scope remediation work with us or another integrator.
Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does an IT health check audit cover?
Eight layers: network and firewall, identity and M365, endpoint security, server and storage, backup and DR, CCTV, Wi-Fi and access, documentation and AMC. The output is a documented gap-and-recommendation report prioritised by severity.
Is this an ISO 27001 or ADHICS audit?
No. This is a technical due-diligence audit — not a regulatory audit. ISO 27001 audits are performed by accredited Certification Bodies; ADHICS audits are performed by DoH-licensed consultancies. Our technical health check can be input to those programmes but does not substitute for formal audit by an accredited body.
How long does an audit take?
The duration depends on the size of the environment and is confirmed in the scoped proposal. The steps are a scoping call, on-site discovery, configuration and documentation review, report drafting and a handover debrief.
Do you need administrator access to do the audit?
We need read-only or audit-level access to firewall, switches, AD, M365 tenant, EDR console, backup platform and CCTV NVR to perform a meaningful configuration review. We do not need (and do not request) production write access for audit purposes.
Will Emirtech then quote to fix everything you find?
We provide the audit report as a deliverable in its own right — you can use it however you choose. You can ask Emirtech to scope remediation, or use the report to engage your existing partner or a different integrator. Either path is fine.
How do I get a quote for an IT health check?
Call +971 55 651 7843 or request a free IT health check consultation. Share your environment overview, headcount, sites and audit driver. A specialist will respond with a scoped proposal once the survey is done.
