Certified IT Expertise
This page presents the types of engagements carried out by our team members before founding Techgemony, during their time at audit firms, including Big Four firms. These are not engagements carried out by Techgemony itself, but the concrete expertise base our practice draws on today.
IT general controls audit (ITGC)
This topic covers the IT environment as a whole, independently of individual applications. Our experience spans three structuring areas: access management (who can access what, periodic access reviews, segregation of duties between sensitive functions), change management (control and traceability of changes made to systems before they go live), and IT operations (backups, day-to-day operations monitoring). This work was carried out both on engagements subject to US SOX regulation (US-listed companies) and on standard IT audit engagements outside the SOX scope, with experience on internationally scoped engagements including coordinating teams across several countries, notably in Africa, Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
Application controls audit (ITAC) and IT dependencies
Unlike ITGC, which covers the general environment, this topic looks at the reliability of processing within the applications themselves. It covers three complementary dimensions. Automated application controls (ITAC) first: verifying that the calculations, validations and business rules built into applications work correctly and reliably. Interfaces between systems next: most IT environments rely on several applications exchanging data with one another, and our work verifies that these exchanges happen without loss, duplication or alteration of information. IPE (entity-produced information) last, a point often underestimated but central to modern auditing: verifying the reliability of reports and information automatically generated by a company's systems, which many decisions and downstream controls rely on.
Application migration reviews
Supporting an application migration project requires a complete methodology, from initial diagnosis through to post-cutover follow-up. Our experience covers this entire cycle: initial diagnosis and technical and functional mapping of the existing setup, defining the most suitable cutover strategy (phased approach or full switchover), data governance with clear responsibilities and quality rules throughout the project, data takeover and migration with verification of integrity and completeness, building a test and validation plan ahead of go-live, preparing a rollback plan in case of incident, and post-migration support (hypercare), a period of reinforced follow-up after go-live to secure the new system's stabilisation. This experience was gained across several different engagements, notably in the insurance sector.
Regulated assurance reports (including ISAE 3402)
Experience
The team carried out this type of engagement, including ISAE 3402 reports, during its professional experience at audit firms, for clients notably in the insurance sector, including testing IT general controls across various interfaces and applications.
Current limitation
Techgemony, as an IT agency, does not carry out ISAE 3402 engagements in its own name, as this is a regulated service reserved for registered statutory auditors. Techgemony can instead support a client ahead of such an audit (preparation, bringing IT internal controls into compliance), with the audit itself then carried out by a licensed third-party auditor.
What these engagements taught us
Mentoring junior teams, managing multi-country and multicultural scopes, methodological rigor forged in environments with particularly demanding standards: this field experience directly shapes how we run every engagement at Techgemony.
Custom Creation
This website is itself a Techgemony creation
Design, development and an upcoming client portal: techgemony.com was built entirely in-house. The clearest proof of our custom website expertise, no third-party client needed to demonstrate it.
This pole covers, first and foremost, the design and development of custom websites and applications. It also includes AI-driven content generation, which we illustrate below through our media outlet Glorieuxgeek.com.
Glorieuxgeek.comopen_in_new is a French online media outlet designed and operated by Techgemony, covering a wide range of topics: geek culture, manga and video games, film, sport in all its diversity, technology, cryptocurrency, health, society, politics, geopolitics, and economics and finance. It's a real-world testbed for the AI content-creation technologies we master, from research to final publication, with no editorial team.
Website creation
Design and development of custom websites, from showcase sites to complex platforms, always starting with a scoping phase to understand your needs, audience and goals. Every interface is custom-designed with careful attention to user experience, and built on both the front-end (what your visitors see and use) and the back-end (the part that makes the site actually work). At delivery, you choose: ongoing managed services with maintenance and evolutions over time, or a fully autonomous handover with complete access transfer.
Application creation
Design and development of custom business applications: internal management tools, client platforms, interfaces connected to your existing systems, or data-driven dashboards. Our approach always starts with a scoping phase to understand your real needs, followed by iterative development so you can track progress and adjust along the way. At delivery, you choose: full access handover or ongoing managed services with maintenance and evolutions.
AI operator creation
An AI agent is what you're using when you chat with something like Claude or ChatGPT: a system that answers your questions and can reason, but stays within a conversation. An AI operator goes further: it's an autonomous virtual teammate, available around the clock, capable of planning multiple steps and acting directly inside your tools (email, CRM, ERP) to carry out real missions such as managing an inbox, replying to customers, processing documents, or preparing analyses, reporting back to a human supervisor. A technology in very strong demand among businesses, which Techgemony can implement, custom-built around your actual needs.
Multi-format AI content generation
Text, image, video and voice: we master AI content generation across all these formats. Writing original articles, creating custom images and visuals, producing video with AI-generated voiceover and presenters: every format is produced natively by our tools, with no human creative resources involved.
End-to-end automation
From monitoring and selecting topics through to final publication across different platforms, the entire process is automated, with no daily manual intervention. This automation also extends to maintaining content over time: updating outdated content, giving under-viewed content renewed visibility, and continuous quality control to avoid repetition.
Orchestrating multiple AI technologies
The real complexity isn't getting a single AI tool to work, it's coordinating several technologies together reliably and consistently: text, voice, image and video generation, adapting to the specific formats and constraints of each distribution platform, and handling the unexpected with fallback solutions so publishing is never interrupted. This orchestration capability, more than mastery of any single tool, is our real know-how.
This experience demonstrates a concrete ability to automate content production at scale, without daily manual effort, with end-to-end mastery: from text generation to video creation, through to multi-platform publishing. Our approach stays pragmatic and iterative, with methods continuously refined for the best possible results. This expertise is directly transposable to a client's own content needs: website, social media, newsletter, or any other form of digital communication.
Advisory & Digital / AI Transformation
We don't yet have a real client reference to share for this practice area. Here, for illustration, is the type of support we provide.
Structuring an IT roadmap for an industrial SME
Context
A fast-growing industrial SME was struggling to evolve its information system at the same pace as its business, with ageing tools and technology decisions made on an ad hoc basis.
Approach
Scoping interviews with leadership and operational teams, mapping actual needs by function, prioritising initiatives by impact and feasibility, building an 18-month IT roadmap with clear milestones.
Result
A roadmap shared and accepted by all stakeholders, enabling the first priority initiatives to start without waiting for a full overhaul.
First steps integrating generative AI into a services company
Context
A services company wanted to explore the concrete benefits of generative AI on its internal processes, without knowing where to start or which use cases to prioritise.
Approach
Collaborative identification of the highest-potential use cases, technical and organisational feasibility assessment of each, support deploying a first pilot use case with results measured before wider rollout.
Result
An operational pilot use case, a reusable methodology for assessing future use cases, and an internal team upskilled on generative AI fundamentals.
Supporting the digitalisation of business processes
Context
A multi-site organisation still ran a significant share of its business processes manually or through disparate tools, with limited cross-functional visibility.
Approach
Auditing existing processes, identifying pain points and redundancies, defining a phased digitalisation roadmap, selecting tools suited to the organisation's context and resources.
Result
Less time spent on repetitive manual tasks and better cross-functional visibility for steering the business.
Reliability & Continuity
We don't yet have a real client reference to share for this practice area. Here, for illustration, is the type of support we provide.
Cloud migration for a multi-site organisation
Context
An organisation with several sites ran its infrastructure on ageing physical servers, with rising maintenance costs and business continuity at risk in the event of a failure.
Approach
Auditing the existing infrastructure, defining a phased cloud migration strategy, prioritising critical systems, supporting internal IT teams through the change.
Result
More resilient infrastructure, better-controlled maintenance costs, and stronger business continuity in the event of a site incident.
Strengthening the cybersecurity posture of a services company
Context
A services company, aware of growing exposure to digital risks, lacked a clear overview of its vulnerabilities and had no formalised incident response procedures.
Approach
Assessing risk exposure, setting up continuous monitoring, defining incident response procedures suited to the organisation's context, raising team awareness.
Result
A strengthened security posture, a formalised incident detection and response capability, and teams better versed in good practice.
Setting up a structured Helpdesk support function
Context
A growing organisation handled its employees' support requests informally, with no tracking tool or visibility into resolution times.
Approach
Deploying a dedicated ticketing tool, defining criticality levels and associated resolution times, structuring a support team with clear processes.
Result
Reduced incident resolution time, better visibility into support workload, and higher employee satisfaction.
