DATA Health
Good data should be useful, well managed and safe.
Our low-cost DATA Health assessment helps you understand where you stand and what needs attention.
What is a DATA Health assessment?
Our DATA Health assessment is simple and low-cost, designed to give you both a top-level view and a deeper understanding of how well your data is looked after.
It combines a structured assessment with expert judgement, so you understand what the findings mean for your business and what to do about them - not just how you score.
It’s a health assessment, not an audit. We’re not trying to trip you up. We’re looking for what’s working well as much as what could be improved.
Why might you need one?
Clean, organised and accessible data is the lifeblood of better business. It’s the foundation for getting things done and for the insight and decisions your business relies on.
Businesses come to us when:
They're not completely confident what data they have or where it sits
Reporting takes more effort than it should
Different versions of the same information exist
They simply want an independent view of whether their foundations are sound
They feel their data isn’t delivering the advantages it should
They’re preparing for AI, growth, investment or a system change
They're concerned about governance, access or security
What will you get?
You’ll receive a detailed DATA Health Check report, giving you both the big picture and a clear understanding of what sits behind it, explained in simple, accessible language.
Including:
A summary and scorecard showing how you perform across each area assessed
Detailed findings across 11 areas, from governance, data protection and IT security to people, policies, suppliers and contingency planning
An assessment of where the most significant gaps lie, taking account of both current capability and importance to your business
Specific, practical recommendations for what to improve, why it matters and the actions you can take
So you know what you're doing well, where the gaps are and what to prioritise next. Giving you greater confidence in how to keep your data safe from prying eyes and cyber attack, and how to use it to pursue and achieve your business ambitions.
What happens next?
We’ll talk you through your findings and recommendations, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and make sure you understand what they mean for your business.
What you do next is up to you. There may be things you can address yourself, areas where you’d benefit from further support, or simply reassurance that what you already have in place is working well.
Our aim is to leave you feeling more confident about your data and what to do next.
“The data security health check experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Alan provided a prompt and reliable service that was highly beneficial and reassuring. It felt like a genuine health check rather than a test, which significantly alleviated any initial concerns we had.
“Alan's easy-going nature made him a pleasure to work with. His extensive experience and deep knowledge were evident throughout the engagement. He took the time to understand our specific context and provided recommendations that were both realistic and tailored to our needs. Moreover, he was mindful of our budgetary constraints, ensuring that his suggestions were feasible and cost-effective.”
