Auditors begin SPLA audits by gathering essential information about your data infrastructure before they ask you to run any scripts or extract any data. They will provide you with a questionnaire that typically includes questions about the number of data centres, their locations, the number of clients, and the types of products hosted.

Provide concise and technically accurate answers. Do not overshare. Do not answer if you don't know the answer. Consult experts if necessary.
