ICOM HealthCheck

Annual assurance for critical Linux, IBM, and Nagios environments

Platform Assurance

Know what is healthy, exposed, or overdue

HealthCheck gives leaders independent evidence on how critical platforms are configured, secured, performing, monitored, backed up, and supported.

  • Assess configuration, security, compliance, performance, monitoring, and operational readiness.
  • Identify risks before they create downtime or service pressure.
  • Turn technical findings into a prioritised improvement plan, including CIS level 1 and 2 checks where required.

Review Areas

What HealthCheck examines

Platform configuration

Review configuration choices, patch posture, service dependencies, broken links, logs, errors, and resilience patterns.

When To Run One

Run one before risk becomes visible

Use HealthCheck when a platform is critical, changing, aging, under pressure, or hard to judge from monitoring alone.

Before a major change

Use HealthCheck before migrations, upgrades, cloud moves, automation programmes, or support model changes.

  • Migrations
  • Upgrades
  • Support changes

When performance feels uncertain

Identify bottlenecks, capacity risks, configuration drift, and monitoring gaps before they turn into visible service problems.

  • Bottlenecks
  • Capacity risk
  • Configuration drift

When leadership needs evidence

Give technical and operational leaders evidence on current health, priority risks, and where investment should go.

  • Health view
  • Priority actions
  • Investment focus

Questions

Assessment with a fix list

HealthCheck should leave teams knowing what to fix, tune, monitor, or cover next.

Which platforms can be reviewed?

HealthCheck can cover enterprise Linux, IBM AIX, monitoring platforms such as Nagios, and related operational practices.

Is HealthCheck a remediation service?

HealthCheck identifies risks and recommended actions. Remediation can be scoped separately through Assist, 247, or project services.

Who should use HealthCheck?

Use HealthCheck when a platform is business-critical, aging, changing, underperforming, or hard to assess from day-to-day monitoring.
