FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to frequently asked questions.

General

What does SETORD actually do?

We bring an IT infrastructure into order: we assess what you already have, propose a rational target state, and can operate, rebuild and hand over a documented environment. Selling hardware or moving everything to the cloud is not our goal.

Are you a hosting company?

No. We manage infrastructure and operations. Hosting and hardware are a separate commercial item and are only chosen once the required architecture is known.

Do I need to move to the cloud?

No. You don't have to move everything to the cloud. The target state is chosen to fit your situation — hosted, on-premises or a mix.

Do I need to replace current servers?

Not automatically. We first assess what you already have. Existing servers can stay and be brought into order where that is the rational target state.

Can SETORD work with our current administrator?

Yes. We can rebuild, document and hand the environment over to your administrator, or work alongside them, depending on the service level.

Assessment and your profile

Is the preliminary assessment free?

Yes. The questionnaire, the preliminary evaluation and the preliminary plan are free.

What do I receive after the questionnaire?

A preliminary assessment: your S/M/L size and C/R criticality and recovery profile, an indication of risks and weak points, and a possible direction. It is preliminary — not a technical audit and not a final solution or price.

What does the S/C/R profile mean?

It is shorthand for size (S/M/L), criticality (C1–C3) and recovery (R1–R4). It helps choose a service and infrastructure class. It is not a certification or compliance score; Deep Assessment validates and may adjust it.

What is Deep Assessment?

A paid professional engagement. It verifies the current state, validates the profile, and produces risks, a target service and infrastructure model, a transformation plan and an estimate.

What information is needed before Deep Assessment?

Minimum legal and company details, plus an agreed scope. We do not ask for documents before they are actually needed.

Pricing and infrastructure

Is infrastructure included in the SETORD fee?

No. Infrastructure, hardware, datacenter, storage and licences are separate commercial items from the management service.

How do you calculate management pricing?

Management pricing is based on the managed estate, operational criticality and recovery requirements — not on the purchase price of the infrastructure. Prices are shown as "from".

How is infrastructure selected?

The placement site is chosen after architecture, workload, geography, networking, SLA, ownership and commercial requirements are known. Where existing infrastructure stays on-premises, that is reflected instead of inventing a hosting cost.

Can systems remain on-premises?

Yes. On-premises and colocation are placement options and are decided at contract stage.

Process, access and data

Will SETORD need administrator or root access?

Only where justified and never as the first step. We prefer documentation, exports and read-only evidence first. Privileged access, when needed, is scoped, temporary, approved and revoked.

How does agreement and payment work?

Deep Assessment begins with a short agreement shown before payment. Standard remote work is paid by card; for larger B2B amounts an invoice or bank-transfer flow may be used.

What happens if an on-site visit is required?

Deep Assessment works remote-first. If on-site work is genuinely needed, travel and on-site costs are shown separately and approved before they are charged.

How does SETORD approach security and compliance?

We help improve alignment and readiness for the security, governance and resilience requirements that apply to your organization. We do not claim automatic compliance or certification; detailed controls are defined during Deep Assessment.

What happens to uploaded documents?

Uploaded documents are used to prepare the assessment and are handled as set out in the Privacy Notice.

How long is unfinished questionnaire data retained?

Unfinished assessments are automatically deleted after 30 days of inactivity.
