Technology Audits
Learn More
What technology does your district have, where are the potential risks, and what needs attention next?
CESA 6 Technology Audits help districts answer these questions through a review tailored to their needs. An audit examines the physical equipment and virtual systems within an agreed scope to assess technology life cycles, identify potential security vulnerabilities, and evaluate alignment with best practices.
Your district receives a detailed report documenting findings and recommendations, giving your team useful information for maintenance, replacement planning, and future technology decisions.
The Benefits
- Understand your technology environment. Build a clearer picture of the equipment and systems supporting your district.
- Plan for replacements. Identify aging technology and use life cycle findings to inform future purchases.
- Identify potential security gaps. Recognize vulnerabilities that may need further attention.
- Evaluate current practices. Understand where technology practices align with best practices and where improvements may help.
- Support budget decisions. Use documented findings to guide spending priorities and long-term planning.
- Build shared understanding. Give technology staff and district leaders a common reference for discussing needs and next steps.

Structure & Schedule
Each technology audit begins with a conversation about your district’s needs. Together, we establish the audit scope, buildings and systems to be reviewed, access requirements, and timeline.
CESA 6 completes the agreed review and prepares a detailed report of findings and recommendations. Your district provides access to the buildings, Wi-Fi networks, and relevant systems needed to complete the audit.
The scope and schedule vary based on the size of your technology environment and the areas included in the review.
