Start My Free Technology MOTWhat Does the Technology MOT Check?
The assessment reviews the areas that most directly affect your organisation’s security, resilience, productivity and ability to recover when something goes wrong.
Cyber Security
Checks multifactor authentication, endpoint protection, email security, patching and protection against emerging threats.
Backup and Recovery
Reviews Microsoft 365, device and server backups, retention arrangements and whether successful recovery has been tested.
Business Continuity
Assesses how quickly the organisation could resume work after ransomware, hardware failure, data loss or a major outage.
Microsoft 365
Reviews licensing, identity protection, independent backup, account security and the management of Microsoft 365 services.
IT Support
Looks at response times, proactive monitoring, internal support workload and whether recurring problems are being prevented.
Governance and Compliance
Identifies gaps in user awareness, documentation, access controls and the management processes expected of modern firms.
Start Your Technology MOT
Answer a series of straightforward questions about your organisation, current IT support, security and backup arrangements. No technical knowledge is required.
Would your business technology pass its MOT?
Check the systems your organisation depends on. We will identify pass items, advisories and priority faults, estimate the hidden cost of IT disruption, and recommend the most appropriate support model.
Your Personalised Technology MOT Inspection Report
Your result explains where your current IT arrangements are working and where action may be required. It is designed to be understood by business owners and managers—not just technical specialists.
Your result is based on the answers supplied and provides an initial business-level assessment rather than a full technical audit.
Most Businesses Discover IT Weaknesses Too Late
A business can appear to have functioning IT while still carrying significant hidden risks. Email may work, files may remain accessible and computers may start normally—but that does not confirm that the organisation could withstand ransomware, recover deleted Microsoft 365 data or continue working after a major failure.
The Technology MOT is intended to expose those gaps before they become expensive incidents. It also identifies areas where existing controls are already working effectively, so the recommendation is based on what your organisation actually needs.
Security
Are MFA, endpoint detection and response, email protection and proactive threat monitoring actually in place?
Recovery
Can deleted, encrypted or inaccessible business data be restored within an acceptable timeframe?
Productivity
How much valuable staff time is lost each year to recurring faults, slow systems and avoidable IT interruptions?
Support
Are problems prevented through monitoring and maintenance, or only addressed after they have already disrupted the business?
How long does the Technology MOT take?
Most organisations can complete the assessment in approximately five minutes. You do not need detailed technical information or administrator access.
Is the Technology MOT genuinely free?
Yes. There is no charge to complete the online assessment or view the resulting recommendation.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. The questions are written for business owners, directors, office managers and other non-technical decision-makers.
Is this the same as a full technical audit?
No. The online MOT is an initial assessment based on the information supplied. A technical review may be recommended where important details are unknown or need to be independently verified.
Will every result recommend a managed service?
No. Depending on your answers, the result may recommend pay-as-you-go support, a security and monitoring service, a full managed service or an initial IT review.
How are the estimated hidden costs calculated?
The calculation uses the selected number of users, salary range, frequency of IT interruptions and likely disruption. It is an illustrative productivity estimate rather than a guarantee of actual financial loss.
Are the prices fixed quotations?
No. They are ballpark figures based on published per-user pricing and the selected organisation size. Final pricing is confirmed once users, devices, licensing, backup and support requirements have been verified.
Can I repeat the assessment later?
Yes. Repeating the Technology MOT after making improvements can help show how the organisation’s security and resilience have progressed.
