IT Health Check Quickstart
The eighteen checks that most reliably predict an outage or a failed audit — each with the exact command, console path or query that proves it, what a passing result looks like, and the fix if it does not.
A checklist tells you what to look for. This tells you how to look. Every check can be completed by one competent administrator in under fifteen minutes.
What is inside
- 18 checks, sequenced by severity — if you run out of time after check 6 you have still covered the failures that most often turn into a bad week
- A verify / pass / fix block for every check — the actual nmap line, the Entra ID console path, the report to pull
- A findings template — an eighteen-row summary a non-technical executive reads in five minutes
- A sequenced 30-day plan — what to do in days 1–3, 4–10, 11–20 and 21–30, and why that order
The checks cover
| Recovery | Whether you can actually restore, whether one backup copy is beyond an attacker's reach, and whether your SaaS data is backed up at all |
| Access | Universal admin MFA including service and vendor accounts, exposed management ports, departed staff who still have access, and standing global admin rights |
| Estate | Real patch compliance numbers, the gap between devices on your network and devices you manage, encryption key escrow |
| Cloud | Public exposure you did not intend, and spend with no owner |
| Resilience | Alert volume you actually read, agreed RPO/RTO, a rehearsed incident plan, and where your key-person risk sits |
