S.U.R.E IT Infrastructure Review
Find out how Secure, Usable, Reliable, and Extendable your IT really is with our S.U.R.E review
- Secure: Spot and fix security vulnerabilities quickly
- Usable: Accelerate and enable greater productivity for every team member
- Reliable: Deliver optimal network performance day in, day out
- Extendable: Handle future workloads, projects, and growth with confidence
The problem a S.U.R.E review solves:
Organisations spend more time resolving issues caused by poorly designed or neglected IT, or not appropriately reviewing or updating technologies than by cyber-attacks.
We are experienced and impartial assessors who look at cloud services, firewalls, wired / wireless networks, and endpoints from compliance and operational perspectives to deliver outstanding ROI. Choose what you need, based either on known weaknesses or previous incidents, or take guidance from your Vambrace experts.

Types of S.U.R.E Reviews
Strategic S.U.R.E Review
An independent, future-focused overview of your IT’s strengths and weaknesses, presented in plain English for the benefit of leadership teams. Using our S.U.R.E model we look at day-to-day operations, future goals, and security to:
- Give leadership a clear and honest picture to aid strong strategic decision making.
- Align short – and long-term goals with your resources to help you move forward with confidence.
- Provide assurance from a trusted outside eye before major IT projects and investment are approved.
- Get ahead of security and operational headaches before they impact business continuity.
Operational S.U.R.E Review
We surface misconfigurations, architectural gaps, inefficiencies, or instances where technologies are not being deployed correctly, if at all. These factors will all contribute to operational difficulties.
It’s a big problem because these issues can be hard to spot and they impact every user in your organisation, every day.
- Are usability issues frustrating staff and impacting productivity?
- Can your teams easily communicate, work with each other, and interact with apps and data regardless of their location?
- Is latency degrading the end-user experience or limiting the effectiveness of certain IT solutions?
Security S.U.R.E Review
An important question to ask is: ’when an attacker gains access to our systems, will our existing IT be a help or hindrance?
We design IT infrastructure from the ground up, and in a way that thwarts attackers at every turn.
- Get better at detecting malicious and negligent insider threats.
- Get assurance that key information security compliance standards are being met.
- Get assurance from a trusted outside eye that security controls are performing to the required standard.
Benefits of a S.U.R.E IT Infrastructure Review
Give leadership accurate information to aid decision making
When it comes to IT, senior leaders want to know if:
- Appropriate controls are in place to protect the organisation from cyber attacks.
- The investment they have made in IT is delivering an ROI.
- There is any risk of commercial performance being impacted by weaknesses in IT, and how to mitigate it.
Get ahead of I.T issues before they impact business continuity
Senior leaders are rightly looking at their cybersecurity performance and information security compliance closer than ever.
We pinpoint weaknesses in IT infrastructure, supply chains, and compliance before they fail or can be exploited. Our team will bring the likely impact and real-world consequences of a
malicious or accidental incident to life… but they will also tell you how to make it better.
Ensure usability issues are not impacting productivity
Does your IT facilitate seamless collaboration with colleagues, connectivity with customers, and accessibility to data?
Or are frustrations creeping in? Usable and reliable IT improves performance, capabilities, and team morale. We look at your IT solutions and processes, providing the expertise to identify issues in these highly specialised areas.
Be confident your IT is delivering the ROI you were expecting
Misconfigurations, architectural gaps, operational inefficiencies, or simply never using technologies properly all contribute to ROI failing to meet expectations.
It’s a big problem because these issues can be hard to spot and they impact users in your organisation every day. Our team looks closely at specific domains and the technologies within
them to produce a clear, prioritised plan to start growing your ROI.
Mentorship and upgrading skills are always included
When it comes to remediation, we can deliver fixes, act as trainers to your teams, or hand our reports over to you or a third party.
Acting as trainers and mentors is always our preferred way of working. Over the years we have received outstanding feedback around the time we take to up skill teams while delivering IT infrastructure reviews.
The reassurance from a trusted outside eye before starting projects
When it comes to big IT infrastructure projects, your only option is to get it right first time.
We work closely with original architects and internal teams as a constructive reviewer to provide assurance that a proposed project is achievable and will deliver an appropriate ROI, taking into account your existing capabilities, timeframes, and resources.

“I can’t rate the service highly enough. Vambrace cybersecurity just do what they say they will do, its incredibly reassuring. It’s refreshing to have real face-face conversations with the team instead of just emails or calls about contracts. Their willingness to travel to meet us and discuss our needs makes a huge difference. I have no concerns, only confidence”.

The S.U.R.E IT Infrastructure Review process
1. Pre assessment
We begin with a S.U.R.E Workshop, allowing us to gain an understanding of:
- Your current IT resources and capabilities
- Existing concerns, issues, or risks that have been identified before
- Regulatory factors and obligations impacting you
- The future goals of your business
2. Discovery
We gather information and start discussions with key people from IT and leadership to validate the information provided and fill in gaps, ensuring we have a complete and accurate picture of your environment.
3. Validation
We verify that controls, configurations, and practises are not only in place, but are functioning
as expected, and are providing the level of protection, performance, and scalability you need.
4. Reporting
We consolidate our findings into a report that simplifies complex issues, details what
has been observed, what risks have been identified, and how these could impact you.
5. Debrief
Your report has been delivered, and you’ve had time to review it.
Our debrief is an opportunity to walk through our findings, address questions, and ensure all
recommendations are clearly understood before planning remediation.
S.U.R.E IT infrastructure review FAQs
Secure IT infrastructure protects your business systems, data, and networks from cyber threats, unauthorised access, and breaches. It includes strong access controls, regular security updates, encryption, and proactive monitoring to minimise risks.
Usability ensures that technology systems are intuitive and efficient for employees to use. An IT infrastructure that is easy to navigate reduces errors and improves overall productivity across your organisation.
Reliable IT infrastructure guarantees system uptime, consistent performance, and minimal disruptions which are crucial for business continuity, customer satisfaction, and ensuring critical operations run smoothly without costly interruptions.
Extendable IT infrastructure is designed to scale up (and down) with your business growth or times of high or low demand. It allows for the seamless integration of new tools, users, and technologies without requiring a complete overhaul, saving time and costs as your business evolves.
IT infrastructure reviews should be conducted at least annually, with regular updates applied as needed. Cybersecurity controls and policies, hardware, and software should be monitored continuously to stay ahead of evolving threats and technological advancements.
