Service & Governance
Health Check
A structured operational diagnostic that maps your current support gaps, governance risks and quick wins — and delivers a prioritised roadmap so you know exactly what to fix, why, and what it is worth commercially.
No obligation. Expert guidance from day one.
A Rigorous Six-Stage Assessment Process
Every engagement follows the same proven methodology — from current-state review to measurable business outcomes.
What You Will Receive
Six tangible documents — not a verbal debrief. Every client receives the same structured set of deliverables in both executive and technical formats.
Sample Operational Maturity Score
Every health check produces a scored assessment across five dimensions. This is what a typical early-stage SaaS company looks like on day one.
Risk Heat Map
Every finding is plotted by likelihood and business impact. Executives see the risk landscape at a glance — without reading a 40-page report.
Sample Executive Finding
This is the format every finding takes in the Executive Summary — clear, commercial, and actionable.

What is an ITSM health check?
An ITSM health check is a structured diagnostic of your IT service management practices. It reviews how your team handles support requests, incidents, changes and governance — and produces a scored maturity assessment, gap report and prioritised roadmap to fix what matters most commercially.
How is this different from hiring a full-time IT manager?
A health check gives you senior-level expertise for a fixed period and fixed cost — with no employment overhead, no notice period and no ongoing salary commitment. You get a clear picture of where you are and exactly what to do next, then decide whether to implement it internally or bring us back for a sprint.
Do you need access to our systems?
We typically need read-only access to your service desk platform, ticketing data and any existing documentation. We do not require access to production systems or sensitive customer data. Everything is handled under a mutual NDA before we begin.
How long does an ITSM health check take?
The standard engagement runs 2–4 weeks from kickoff to final report delivery. This includes 2–3 stakeholder workshops, documentation review, analysis and two rounds of report review. Scope is agreed and fixed upfront — no open-ended engagements.
What does the maturity score mean?
The operational maturity score rates your practices across five dimensions — support operations, governance, documentation, automation and AI readiness — on a scale of 1 to 10. It gives leadership a single reference point for current state and a measurable target for improvement over 90 days.
Can a small business afford this?
The Starter Assessment starts from €3,000 — which is typically recovered within weeks through reduced support inefficiency or a single retained customer. We also offer a free 30-minute operational review before any commitment so you can assess the value before spending anything.
Is this the same as an IT audit?
No. A formal IT audit is conducted by an accredited body for compliance or certification purposes. The Plotwise Digital health check is an operational diagnostic — it assesses maturity, identifies gaps and produces a commercial roadmap. It is an excellent preparation step before engaging a formal auditor.
What happens after the health check?
You receive six deliverables including a 90-day improvement plan. Many clients implement quick wins internally, then engage Plotwise Digital for a follow-on ITSM Foundation Sprint or Governance Readiness Review. There is no obligation to continue — the report is yours regardless of next steps.
