Construction IT Health Check
Ten questions for contractors, housebuilders and specialist subcontractors.
The construction IT health check from Indigo Unified Communications asks ten questions about the problems we see most on sites and in construction offices across Scotland: sign-in security, backup, device management, drawings on site, cabin connectivity, subcontractor access, bank-detail fraud, Cyber Essentials for tenders, the PSTN switch-off at yards and offices, and support response times. You get a score out of 100 and your three biggest risks.

Why these ten questions
Construction firms work across a head office, live sites, temporary cabins and a changing team of subcontractors. That's why the questions go beyond standard office IT. Can site teams see the latest drawings? Do cabins stay online? Do subcontractors lose access when a package ends? Would a fake request to change bank details get through? Each one comes from the problems covered in our complete guide to technology for construction companies.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the general IT health check?
Six questions are shared with the general check: multi-factor sign-in, backup, device management, Cyber Essentials, the PSTN switch-off and support. The other four are specific to construction: drawings and RAMS on site, site cabin connectivity, subcontractor access and payment diversion fraud. Those four cover the problems we see most often at construction companies.
Does a good score mean we'd pass Cyber Essentials?
Not on its own. The check covers several Cyber Essentials areas but not all of the detail an assessor looks at, such as firewall settings and every device's supported software. A readiness review from Indigo Unified Communications checks each requirement before you apply.
What happens after I get my score?
Your score and three biggest risks show straight away. If you ask for them by email, a consultant will offer a free construction technology assessment, covering your IT, security, site connectivity, phones and mobiles, with practical recommendations and no obligation.
