What is an ITHC?
The Cabinet Office IT Health Check (ITHC) is an excellent means of discerning cyber hygiene within an organization by testing defined samples of the user, network, and public assets; presented within a formal, peer-reviewed report.
The programme is designed to ensure that the IT systems of the central government and the wider public sector are secure against the threat of cyber-attacks. Its primary purpose is to identify vulnerabilities in systems that might be exploited by an attacker with a medium level of capability.

THE THREE-PHASE APPROACH
Our Methodology
Internal Assets
Assessment of internal systems, servers, and workstations to identify security gaps, vulnerabilities, and compliance issues.
Internet Gateway(s)
Evaluation of internet-facing gateways such as firewalls and VPNs to ensure they are configured securely and free from vulnerabilities.
Network Equipment
Inspection of routers, switches, and other network devices to verify secure configurations and to prevent unauthorized access or data breaches.
Why conduct an IT Health Check?
Carrying out an IT Health Check (ITHC) is essential for UK organizations to protect their IT systems from cyber threats. An ITHC identifies vulnerabilities in networks, applications, and systems, enabling organizations to address issues proactively and comply with regulatory standards. Regular checks demonstrate a commitment to robust cybersecurity, which is crucial for maintaining trust with customers and stakeholders.
In the UK, sectors such as public services connected to the Public Services Network (PSN), financial institutions, healthcare providers like the NHS, and critical national infrastructure organizations are required to perform ITHCs. These sectors handle sensitive data and services where security breaches could have serious implications for national security and public safety.
