We assess your infrastructure, your cloud, your licenses, and your processes, and provide you with what’s missing from most assessments: prioritized risks with remediation costs and a roadmap that your management can approve. On-site and remotely, in Mexico and Latin America.

An accurate inventory of your IT infrastructure, including the "shadow IT" that no one had accounted for
Quantified licensing risk exposure prior to the manufacturer's audit
Outdated Technical Debt: Which Systems Are Reaching End of Support, When, and What Are the Consequences
Risks prioritized by probability and impact, with estimated remediation costs
A 90-day roadmap that your management team can approve and budget for
A useful audit doesn't just describe your infrastructure—it tells you what to do, in what order, and at what cost.
Executive decision report, separate from the detailed technical annex — two hearings, two documents
Qualified risk register, with clearly defined and traceable criteria
Prioritized roadmap with cost estimates and the required internal effort
Documents meant for decision-making, not for filing.
We conduct audits so you can make data-driven decisions, not to justify a sale. If nothing urgent comes up, we'll let you know.
Most IT audits result in a document that no one ever opens again. They describe the infrastructure in detail but don't say what to do with it. We write the report the other way around: we start with the decisions your management will need to make.
We work with you to define the actual scope—which sites, which systems, which subsidiaries—and gather the existing documentation. If it’s out of date, that’s not a problem: it’s our first finding.
We map the IT environment as it actually exists, not as it appears in the latest inventory. This is where “shadow IT” comes into play: cloud services subscribed to by a department without notifying IT, forgotten servers that are still running, and accounts belonging to former employees that are still active.
We also review licensing, because it’s the risk that’s least anticipated and most costly. We compare actual installations against acquired rights, in both directions: underlicensed content exposes you to a compliance process with no room for negotiation, and paid-for but unused rights represent money that’s going out every mes.
At the same time, we interviewed the department heads. A technically sound infrastructure can be misused, and that isn't something you can see on an administration console.
Each finding is rated based on probability and impact, with criteria clearly outlined so that you can verify our reasoning with any third party. Each risk is linked to a recognized control—CIS Controls, ISO 27001, ITIL, LFPDPPP —and includes an estimate of the cost and internal effort required for remediation.
We're providing two documents because there are two meetings: an executive summary for decision-making and budgeting, and a technical appendix for your team. Mixing them up ensures that neither one will be read.
An audit conducted by the very party that will later sell the remediation services raises a legitimate question. Our response is practical: the roadmap specifies what needs to be done, not who should do it, and the evaluation criteria are public and verifiable. You can carry it out with your team, with another provider, or with us. And if your infrastructure is sound, the report will say so—that’s exactly the kind of conclusion an honest assessment should be able to produce.
Scope, terms of reference, cost, independence, and internal effort: what to consider before commissioning an audit.
An IT audit is a structured assessment of your company's technology environment. It reviews the infrastructure, processes, and human resources to ensure security, efficiency, and alignment with your business objectives.
A standard audit takes 4 weeks, broken down as follows:
Multi-site or highly distributed environments may require an additional week or two. We’ll work this out with you before we start, not as we go along.
That's the right question, and it deserves a straightforward answer. Yes, there is a conflict of interest: the auditor may have an incentive to find problems that they can then sell as projects.
That’s why we keep the two separate. The report assesses risks using explicit and traceable criteria, so you can verify our conclusions with any third party. The roadmap outlines what needs to be done, not who should do it. You can implement it with your internal team, another provider, or us—and if your infrastructure is healthy, the report will say so.
If you prefer complete independence, we also audit environments that we do not manage and do not provide quotes for remediation.
We don't make up criteria: we rely on recognized frameworks so that our conclusions can be verified.
Each finding is linked to an identified control, along with its reference. This allows you to verify the reasoning behind it, not just the conclusion.
Yes, and it’s often one of the findings with the greatest financial impact. Many companies discover their licensing exposure on the very day the manufacturer audits them, when there’s no longer any room for negotiation.
We review the actual inventory of software installations against the licenses held: Microsoft, Adobe, databases, virtualization. We identify both under-licensing—which is a risk—and paid-for but unused licenses, which represent money lost every mes.
Less than you might fear, but not zero. We typically have:
We work with what we have. If your documentation is outdated, that in itself is a discovery, not an obstacle.
The report isn't the end of the process. We present the findings to your management team during a working session, work with you to prioritize the roadmap based on your budget and operational constraints, and provide the documents in an editable format so your team can follow through on them.
We also recommend a follow-up review after 6 or 12 months to assess actual progress regarding the identified risks. An audit that no one ever revisits didn't change anything.
How Keptos companies in Latin America with agile, secure, and people-centered solutions.
A situation we often see
A subsidiary would discover its license exposure every time the manufacturer came to audit it—always too late to negotiate. No one had a clear picture of the actual license inventory: there were cloud services contracted by one department without notifying IT, and forgotten servers that were still running.
The standard approach: take an inventory of what actually exists—not what is on paper—compare actual installations against acquired rights in both directions, and classify each finding by risk along with its estimated remediation cost.
What changes is not a promised savings figure, but rather management’s approach: instead of discovering problems only after they erupt, it has a prioritized roadmap that it can approve and budget for in advance.
