Overview
Most businesses have accumulated years of digital assets — accounts, domains, code, platforms, and subscriptions — with no clear picture of what exists or who owns it. A Digital Audit maps everything, closes the gaps, and gives you back control.
Detail
The problem most businesses don't know they have
Over time, businesses accumulate digital assets in an unplanned way. A domain registered years ago by a developer who no longer works there. A hosting account on a personal credit card. Source code in a private repository nobody else has access to. Subscriptions nobody remembers signing up for. When something breaks — or when someone leaves — the gap between what you think you control and what you actually control becomes very expensive to discover.
A Digital Audit is a structured review of every digital asset your business depends on: who owns it, where it lives, what it costs, who has access, and whether it's secure. The output is a clear, documented inventory you can act on — not a report that sits in a drawer.
What we audit
Domain names
Every domain your business owns or depends on — including variations, old brands, and country-specific extensions. We check registrar ownership, renewal dates, DNS configuration, and whether the registrant contact details are current. A domain that lapses or is registered in the wrong name can take your business offline overnight.
Platforms and hosting
Website hosting, cloud infrastructure, CMS platforms, e-commerce systems, email hosting, and third-party SaaS tools. We document what each platform does, what it costs, what business function depends on it, and who holds the login credentials. Surprise outages and renewal failures are almost always the result of nobody knowing who owns the account.
Code and intellectual property
Source code repositories, custom software, proprietary tools, and any digital work created on your behalf. We confirm ownership agreements are in place, that code is stored in accounts your business controls, and that documentation exists for any systems you depend on. Many businesses discover their most valuable software asset lives in a developer's personal GitHub account.
Digital accounts and access
Social media profiles, advertising accounts, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Apple Developer, app store listings, and any platform where your business has a registered presence. We map who has admin access, flag accounts tied to personal email addresses, and identify profiles that are unmaintained or at risk.
Processes and documentation
Digital processes that keep your business running — publishing workflows, update procedures, backup routines, and anything that requires specialist knowledge to maintain. If the answer to "how does this work?" lives only in one person's head, that's a risk. We document it so the knowledge belongs to the business.
Why it matters
A Digital Audit is particularly valuable when: a key person is leaving or has already left; you're buying, selling, or merging a business; you've engaged a new agency or developer and need to understand what you're inheriting; your website or systems have been built and maintained by someone outside your organisation; or you simply want confidence that your business is not exposed to avoidable digital risk.
The businesses that benefit most are usually those who have been operating for five years or more and have never taken stock of what they've accumulated. The audit typically uncovers unused subscriptions that can be cancelled, accounts that should be secured, and assets that need to be transferred into proper business ownership.
What you get
A structured digital asset register covering every domain, platform, account, and system we discover — with ownership details, renewal dates, access status, and a priority action list. Delivered as a working document your team can maintain going forward, not a one-time PDF.
Many clients follow the audit with a technical strategy engagement to act on what we find — consolidating accounts, migrating ownership, improving security practices, and building a more resilient digital foundation for the business.
