Audit Defence Maturity AssessmentThe ITAM Review is delighted to announce the availability of our free Audit Defence Maturity Assessment, presented in conjunction with Scott & Scott LLP. Being audit-ready is vitally important for ITAM teams in order to protect their organisations from time-consuming and expensive software license audits.

Robert J Scott, Managing Partner at Scott & Scott LLP said: “We are very excited to have collaborated with the experts at the ITAM Review for the development of the Audit Defense Maturity Assessment. Having represented companies in over 500 software audits, we have learned that organizations with higher maturity scores fare much better in software audits than those with low scores.”

How it works

The Maturity Assessment is an online survey which measures your organisation’s maturity across the audit lifecycle in four categories:

  • Pre-Audit
  • Data Collection
  • Dealing with the Auditors
  • Closing the Audit.

On completion of the survey, you will receive instant, customised feedback on your audit-readiness, along with a detailed report packed with improvement tips and further information. Please take the survey as many times as you wish, as this is a great way to track progress against the improvement suggestions provided in the report.
