Many organisations buy technology one problem at a time: a new firewall after an incident, more licences when staff join, a new server when the old one fails. Over time this creates a mix of systems that cost more than they should and leave gaps in security. Before spending money, it helps to step back and look at the whole picture. That is the purpose of a free IT assessment.
This article explains what happens during a Junubia Host assessment, what you receive, and why it is the best first step for banks, microfinance institutions, government offices, NGOs and businesses in South Sudan, Tanzania and Rwanda.
What We Look At
Security
Firewalls, remote access, multi-factor authentication, antivirus and endpoint protection, email security, administrator accounts and patching.
Licensing
Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe and other software in use compared with what you own, including licences that could be removed or reassigned.
Email and collaboration
Your email platform, domain and DNS settings, file sharing and meeting tools.
Servers, backup and continuity
Age and condition of servers and storage, backup methods, off-site copies and what would happen if your main system failed.
Devices, network and physical security
Laptops and desktops, Wi-Fi and cabling, power protection, and where relevant CCTV and access control.
How the Assessment Works
Step 1: Request
You complete the short form on our free IT assessment page or message us on WhatsApp. We confirm a time that suits you.
Step 2: Discussion
We meet with your management and IT contact, in person or online, to understand your organisation, priorities, current challenges and any upcoming projects or audits.
Step 3: Review
We review your setup using the information you choose to share. We do not need passwords to your systems, and anything we see stays confidential.
Step 4: Findings and priorities
You receive a short summary of what is working well, the main risks, quick wins and recommended next steps, in plain language that managers and boards can use.
Why It Is the Best First Step
- No obligation: the assessment is free, and you decide what to do next.
- Independent advice: we work with many vendors, so recommendations fit your needs rather than one brand.
- Better budgeting: you can plan spending around real priorities.
- Fewer surprises: licensing gaps and security weaknesses are found by you, not by an auditor or attacker.
