Regular auditing is essential to ensure your business meets the requirements of both General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the NIS2 Directive. These regulations place clear expectations on how organisations protect data, manage risk and respond to security incidents. Without proper auditing, gaps in security, access control or data handling can go unnoticed, increasing the risk of breaches, fines and reputational damage.

At A500 Tech Solutions, we carry out structured GDPR and NIS2 audits to review your policies, systems and technical controls. This includes assessing data protection practices, user access, patching, backup processes and overall cyber resilience. We provide clear, actionable recommendations to help you meet compliance requirements, reduce risk and strengthen your security posture — ensuring your business is both protected and aligned with modern regulatory standards.

A Cyber Essentials pre-audit is designed to assess your current security posture before undertaking the Cyber Essentials certification. It helps identify gaps in your systems, configurations and processes, ensuring you are fully prepared and reducing the risk of failing the assessment.

At A500 Tech Solutions, we carry out a detailed pre-audit covering key areas such as firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection and patch management. We highlight any issues, provide clear recommendations and support you in implementing the required changes. This ensures a smoother certification process, strengthens your security and gives you confidence that your business meets the Cyber Essentials standard.

File system and Active Directory audits are essential for ensuring the right people have the right access to your data and systems. Over time, permissions can become overly complex or outdated, increasing the risk of unauthorised access, data breaches or accidental data loss. Without regular review, these issues often go unnoticed.

At A500 Tech Solutions, we carry out detailed audits of your file systems and Active Directory environment, reviewing user accounts, group memberships and access permissions. We identify excessive or unnecessary access, highlight security risks and help you implement best practices such as least privilege and proper role-based access control. This improves security, enhances visibility and ensures your business remains compliant and protected.
