# Datadog HealthScan by Critical Cloud
marketplace   Datadog HealthScan™ overviewHealth scorecard and prioritiesExecutive summary snapshot
## Overview{% #overview %}

**Datadog HealthScan by Critical Cloud** is a fixed-scope, independent assessment of your existing Datadog environment. Designed for teams already running Datadog in production, it provides clear, actionable insight into alignment with Datadog best practices and what to optimize, remediate, or adopt next.

**Scope of assessment**

- Agent deployment and integration coverage
- Metrics and log ingestion quality
- Tagging strategy and potential cardinality risks
- Monitor coverage and alert signal quality
- Dashboard usage and visibility gaps
- High-level checks across APM, Security, and Cost Management (where enabled)

**Outcomes and deliverables**

- A structured health scorecard across key Datadog capability areas
- Identification of operational risks and inefficiencies
- Prioritized recommendations and suggested next steps

**Engagement approach**

- Kickoff and discovery workshop
- Independent environment analysis
- Findings and recommendations session

**Optional deep dives**

Where significant improvement opportunities are identified, customers can add targeted, fixed-scope **Deep Dive** engagements. These are separate services focused on detailed remediation planning and optimization within a specific domain, such as Observability Foundations, APM, Security, or Cost Management.

These typically take one to two weeks per capability area and provide more detailed design guidance and implementation planning.
