How much does a network audit or IT audit cost in Abu Dhabi?
The cost of a practical network audit for an Abu Dhabi SMB office (single site, 25-75 users, one core switch, one firewall, one or two Wi-Fi controllers) depends on asset count, depth, and deliverables; we do not publish a price list. A light network health check — topology mapping, switch and routing configuration review, firewall rule-base sanity check, Wi-Fi coverage walk-test, cabling visual assessment, and a written findings report with prioritised remediation — sits at one end. A deeper engagement adding Microsoft Secure Score review, an authenticated vulnerability scan, EDR posture check, backup restore verification, and a written roadmap sits higher. A full M365 tenant audit covering Conditional Access, MFA enforcement, external sharing, retention, sensitivity labels and admin role hygiene is scoped separately because effort depends on tenant size and licence SKU. Cabling certification using Fluke testers is priced per drop. Cost drivers are simple and we state them upfront: number of switches, firewalls, access points and endpoints in scope; whether the audit is documentation-led or includes active testing; whether you want a one-page executive summary or a full report with evidence; and whether a retest is included after remediation. Emirtech Technology is an Abu Dhabi integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) founded in 2018, based at Mussafah M44, and our audits focus on practical fixes you can action. To be clear on scope: we install and programme Control4 working with a third-party authorised dealer, but we are not an ISACA-certified IT audit firm, not a Big Four advisory practice, not an ISO 27001 / PDPL / ADHICS certification body, and we do not issue formal compliance certificates — our audits are engineering reviews that help you prepare for those programmes.

Cost drivers by scope
What drives the cost of a network or IT audit
We do not publish a price list. For a single-site SMB (25-75 users), asset count, depth and deliverable format all move the final cost, which is why the free scoping call exists. The table shows what drives the fee for each scope.
| Scope | Typical depth | What drives the fee |
|---|---|---|
| Network health check | Documentation-led: topology, config review, no active testing | Number of switches, firewalls and access points in scope |
| Security baseline audit | Adds Secure Score review, authenticated vulnerability scan, EDR check | Endpoint and server count, depth of testing, retest after remediation |
| M365 tenant audit | Scoped separately by tenant size and licence SKU | Tenant size and licence SKU |
| Cabling certification | Fluke permanent-link or channel test, per drop | Number of drops tested |
This guide covers the engineering-review scope described above — not a formal ISACA audit, penetration test or ISO 27001 / PDPL / ADHICS certification programme, which carry significantly higher fees and sit outside what we deliver. An itemised written quotation follows a free scoping call — call +971 55 651 7843.
What an audit typically covers
Scope variants we cost separately
Security Baseline Audit
Microsoft Secure Score review, authenticated vulnerability scan against servers and endpoints, EDR / antivirus posture check, backup restore verification, patch-state sampling, and a roadmap aligned to common SMB hardening guidance.
M365 Tenant Audit
Conditional Access policy review, MFA enforcement, external sharing controls, retention and sensitivity labels, admin role hygiene, mailbox forwarding rules, and audit-log retention check against your licence SKU.
Cabling Certification
Fluke-based certification per drop with permanent-link or channel test results, labelling check against the patch schedule, and a PDF certification report you can hand to a landlord, tenant or main contractor.
What drives the price up or down
Cost is a function of asset count, depth, and deliverable format. Tell us how many switches, firewalls, access points, endpoints and M365 seats are in scope, plus whether you want a short executive note or a full evidence-backed report, and we will return an itemised written proposal.

How we run an audit
Engagement flow from scoping to retest
Scoping Call
Free scoping call to capture asset counts, business drivers (insurance, PDPL preparation, tenant fit-out, M&A due diligence), constraints, and the deliverable format you actually need so we can provide an itemised written quotation.
On-Site & Remote Review
Combination of on-site walk-through at your Abu Dhabi or Al Ain premises and remote configuration review using read-only access where possible. Evidence is captured against a written checklist, not from memory.
Findings Report
Written report with executive summary, prioritised findings (critical / high / medium / low), screenshots and configuration extracts as evidence, and a remediation roadmap with indicative effort so you can plan budget and resourcing.
Optional Retest
After your team or ours has actioned the remediation, an optional retest re-runs the relevant checks and updates the report so you can demonstrate closure to management, insurers or a parent-company auditor.
Scope — what we deliver and explicitly do not
We publish honest scope so you can compare quotations like-for-like. An audit is only useful if the deliverable matches the business decision it has to support, so we state both inclusions and exclusions in writing before any fee is agreed.
- We deliver: network health checks, security baseline audits, M365 tenant audits, Wi-Fi walk-test surveys, Fluke cabling certification, vendor and contract reviews, written findings reports with prioritised remediation, and optional retest after fixes — across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
- We do not deliver: formal ISO 27001 / PDPL / ADHICS / NESA certification, SOC 2 attestation, CREST or OSCP penetration tests, internal audit opinions under ISACA standards, statutory financial-IT audits, or any signed compliance certificate — those require accredited certification bodies.
- We are not: an ISACA-certified IT audit firm, a Big Four advisory practice, a CREST-accredited penetration testing provider, an ISO 27001 certification body, a SIRA-licensed entity, or a UAE Cyber Council accredited consultancy.
- We are not affiliated with: ISACA, IIA (Institute of Internal Auditors), AICPA, PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, EY, BSI, DNV, Bureau Veritas, or any specific named IT audit firm.
- Audits are engineering reviews intended to prepare you for accredited programmes, support insurance questionnaires, or give a new IT manager an honest baseline of the estate they have inherited.
- Geographic scope for on-site audit work is Abu Dhabi mainland and Al Ain; remote M365 tenant review can also be arranged for tenants based elsewhere in the UAE.
- All findings are written in plain English with the underlying evidence attached so a third party can verify the conclusion without our involvement.
If you need an accredited certification audit, we will say so and recommend you engage a certification body directly. Where our engineering review can usefully complement that work, we will scope it as preparation rather than overclaim. For day-to-day support, see IT support services in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
Common questions
FAQs
Are you an ISACA-certified IT audit firm or a Big Four advisory practice?
No. Emirtech Technology is an Abu Dhabi integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) and a Control4 installer working with a third-party authorised dealer. We are not an ISACA-certified IT audit firm, not a Big Four advisory practice (PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, EY), not affiliated with IIA or AICPA, and not an ISO 27001 / PDPL / ADHICS certification body. Our audits are engineering reviews that help you prepare for those programmes.
Can your audit issue an ISO 27001, PDPL or ADHICS certificate?
No. Formal certification can only be issued by an accredited certification body such as BSI, DNV or Bureau Veritas — we are not affiliated with any of them. Our audit produces a written findings report and remediation roadmap that helps you close gaps before you engage a certification body for the formal audit.
What does a typical network audit fee depend on?
Asset count (switches, firewalls, access points, endpoints), depth (documentation review versus active testing), deliverable format (one-page summary versus full evidence report), whether a remediation roadmap and retest are included, and travel scope (Abu Dhabi mainland or Al Ain). We do not publish a price list: a documentation-led network health check, a deeper security baseline audit with vulnerability scanning, an M365 tenant audit and cabling certification (priced per drop) are each scoped and quoted separately. We provide an itemised written quotation against your asset list.
Do you perform penetration testing as part of the audit?
We perform authenticated vulnerability scanning as part of a security baseline audit, which is not the same as a penetration test. We are not a CREST-accredited penetration testing provider and our engineers are not OSCP-certified pen testers. If you need a formal pen test for insurance or regulator purposes, we will refer you to an accredited provider.
Can you audit our Microsoft 365 tenant without disrupting users?
Yes. M365 tenant audits are run with read-only Global Reader access where possible, so we can review Conditional Access, MFA enforcement, sharing settings, retention, sensitivity labels and admin roles without changing configuration. Any recommended change is delivered as a written roadmap for your team to action.
How do I get an itemised written quotation for a network or IT audit?
Call +971 55 651 7843, email [email protected], or use the request a quotation form with your asset count (switches, firewalls, access points, endpoints, M365 seats) and intended use of the report. We return an itemised written proposal with clear scope, deliverables and exclusions.
