Our Network Audit Process

Our network audit process covers every aspect of your infrastructure, from on-site surveys to actionable recommendations:

On-Site Audit and Survey

We begin with a physical audit of your network, reviewing all equipment (e.g. switches, access points) to understand how everything is interconnected. This helps us clearly understand your network's topology and deployment.

Configuration Review

Our experts evaluate the configuration of each piece of equipment. We check for outdated firmware security vulnerabilities, and ensure that best practices are being followed. We also review event logs to catch issues that may have gone unnoticed.

User Consultation

We speak with your team to understand their on-the-ground experience. This ensures that our findings align with the actual challenges your staff may face, providing a more holistic view of your network’s performance.

Comprehensive Report

We compile our findings into a detailed report, categorizing issues by severity (e.g., high, medium, or low-level impact). This report also includes our tailored recommendations for network performance optimisation, ensuring your infrastructure continues to operate at peak efficiency.

Collaborative Solutions

Based on the audit results, we will work with you to address the identified issues. Whether it’s updating security protocols or improving network performance, our goal is to help you implement the solutions smoothly.
