Before opening an office, an IT audit helps plan the network, internet, cameras, access permissions and workplace hardware correctly.

IT audit before opening a new office: what to check

"Opening a new office is not only about finishing furniture and renovation. If the IT part is not planned from the beginning, the company may later need to redo cabling, buy extra equipment and solve daily technical problems.

The first thing to check is the internet connection and network infrastructure. How many workplaces will the office have? Where will printers, POS devices, cameras, Wi‑Fi access points and a server or NAS be located? These answers define cabling, switch type, PoE requirements and router capacity.

The second important point is security. Employees should have correct access permissions, strong passwords, protected Wi‑Fi and, when needed, a separate guest network. If the office uses cameras or remote access, these systems must be configured securely with proper user rights.

An IT audit also checks workplace hardware: computer condition, operating systems, software, licenses, printers and backup requirements. It is better to understand these details before opening than after work has already started.
