IT audit in plain words: find out what is wrong before it costs you
CloudHosting SIA, a Latvian IT infrastructure provider since 2016, audits the IT of small and mid-sized companies in Latvia: network, backups, access rights, equipment and NIS2 readiness, checked on site and remotely over a few days. You get a plain-language report with every risk ranked, for a fixed price from 200 EUR agreed before we start.
One fixed price, agreed before we start
You are never billed for open-ended hours. We look at the size of your company, quote a fixed fee, and only then begin.
We size it
The price depends on how many computers, sites and systems you have. A small office starts at 200 EUR.
We check it
On-site and remotely, over a few days, without interrupting your staff or your work.
You keep the report
The document is yours to act on with us, your own IT people, or anyone else. No lock-in.
Prices are net, without VAT. Larger companies are quoted individually, always as a fixed fee agreed in advance.
What we check
We look at everything that could stop your business or leak your data, and explain each finding without the jargon. In effect, a full cybersecurity audit in plain words.
Your network
How your office and shops are wired, where it is slow, and where it is open to strangers from outside.
Your data safety
Whether your files and backups would survive a disk failure, ransomware or a stolen laptop.
Who can get in
Passwords, access rights and remote logins: who can reach your systems and whether that is safe.
Your equipment
The age and health of servers, computers and network gear, and what is about to fail.
NIS2 and rules
Whether your company meets the NIS2 law and other duties that now carry real fines.
A plan you can use
A short document with risks ranked by danger and cost, in a clear order of what to fix first.

Typical audits, typical findings
Typical examples of what an audit turns up in companies like these: the kind of business, what is usually found and what such an audit costs.
Dental clinic
8 people, one clinic
€490 one-off
Patient records sit on one computer with no backup and a password everyone shares. We show the owner the risk and a simple 3-step fix.
Retail chain
4 shops
€900 one-off
The tills share the same Wi-Fi as customers, so any guest is on the payment network. We separate the networks and close the hole.
Manufacturing plant
25 people
€1200 one-off
No NIS2 readiness and a single server with no spare. We build a compliance plan and a backup that actually restores.
Accounting firm
6 people
€490 one-off
Passwords on sticky notes, no two-step login, and backups that silently stopped a year ago. Usually all fixed within a month.
Law office
12 people
€700 one-off
Confidential email is not archived and staff who have left still have access. We lock it down and set retention rules.
Logistics company
15 people
€900 one-off
An outdated firewall with open ports facing the internet. We flag it before it is used against the company.
These are typical scenarios, not specific clients.

Common questions
Will I understand the IT audit report without technical knowledge?
CloudHosting writes the IT audit report for a business owner, not an engineer: every finding says in plain words what the risk is, why it matters to your business and roughly what it would cost to fix. Risks are ranked by danger and cost, so you can see at a glance what deserves attention first. There is no jargon to decode and no long appendix of raw technical data. If anything in the document is still unclear, ask us and we will explain it again, in person and in plain language, until you can decide with confidence.
How much does an IT audit cost in Latvia?
CloudHosting's IT audit starts from 200 EUR for a small office, as a fixed fee quoted before any work begins. We look at how many computers, sites and systems you have, name a fee, and only then begin. You are never billed for open-ended hours, and the amount does not grow while the work is in progress. Larger companies are quoted individually, still as a fixed fee agreed in advance. All prices are net, without VAT. For an exact number, book the free 30-minute call or write to us with a rough count of your computers and locations, and you will get a quote before committing to anything.
What happens on the free 30-minute call?
CloudHosting starts every audit enquiry with a free 30-minute call with an engineer, and it puts you under no obligation to order anything. You describe what you run, how many computers and sites you have and what worries you; the engineer tells you honestly what is worth checking and whether NIS2 applies to your company at all. If an audit makes sense, you then get a fixed price from 200 EUR and the expected timeline before any work begins. If it does not, you have spent half an hour and gained an outside opinion. Book the call through the contact page or by phone.
Will the audit disrupt our work?
CloudHosting runs most audit checks quietly in the background over a few days, so your staff keep working as usual and most of them will not even notice it is happening. On-site visits are needed for some checks, but they are short and scheduled around your working hours, not ours. Nothing is switched off or restarted without agreeing it with you first. If your business has hours that are especially sensitive, for example when tills or production must not be touched, tell us in advance and we plan around them.
Do you check NIS2 readiness?
CloudHosting includes a NIS2 readiness check in every IT audit, at no extra charge and regardless of company size. We look at whether the NIS2 law applies to your company at all, and if it does, where you already comply, what is missing and what to do about the gaps. You get this in the same plain-language report as the rest of the findings, so you can plan compliance work next to your other risks in a sensible order. Since NIS2 duties now carry real fines, the point is that you learn where you stand before a regulator or an incident tells you.
Do we have to fix the findings with you?
CloudHosting puts no obligation on you after the audit: the report belongs to you, and you decide whether the findings are fixed by your own IT people, another contractor or us. We deliberately write the report so that any competent specialist can act on it, which is also why there is no lock-in to our services. If you do want help, we can fix the findings ourselves or take over your day-to-day IT afterwards, and that work is quoted separately, so the audit stays an independent, honest assessment and the decision always stays with you.
What does an IT audit include?
CloudHosting's IT audit covers everything that could stop your business or leak your data, for a fixed fee from 200 EUR. We check how your network is wired and where it is open from outside, whether your files and backups would survive a disk failure, ransomware or a stolen laptop, who can reach your systems through passwords, access rights and remote logins, and the age and health of your servers, computers and network gear. NIS2 compliance is reviewed as part of the same work. The result is a short report with every risk ranked by danger and cost, in a clear order of what to fix first.
How long does an IT audit take?
CloudHosting completes the IT audit of a typical small company in a few days, report included. The exact length depends on how many computers, sites and systems you have, so we give you the expected timeline together with the fixed price before the work begins. Most of that time the checks run in the background while your team works normally, and the on-site part is a matter of short, scheduled visits. At the end of those days you are holding the finished document with the risks and the action plan, not waiting weeks for paperwork. If the deadline is critical for you, say so when you get in touch.
What do IT audits cost in practice?
CloudHosting's typical IT audits cost around 490 EUR for an 8-person dental clinic, around 900 EUR for a retail chain with 4 shops and around 1200 EUR for a 25-person manufacturing plant, one-off and without VAT. The differences come from size and complexity: more computers, more locations and more systems mean more to check. Whatever the size, the pattern is the same: a single fixed fee agreed before starting that does not change during the work. These are typical scenarios rather than named clients, so you can compare your business with a similar one before asking for a quote.
