Network System Discovery/Computer Network Audit Process

The second part of our initial meeting typically consists of a Network Audit Process (a.k.a. System Discovery) performed by one (or a team) of our Senior Network Consultants. The purpose of this step is to establish a baseline knowledge of your technology infrastructure and more importantly, uncover vulnerabilities. The team could have Virtualization Experts, Industry Experts, Branch Managers, Managed Services Expertise, and Certainly the help of You, the Potential Client to gather the tangible and intangible problems and success of the past - further we can gather the importance of the pieces and gather information on vendor relationships, core computing device functionality and a gap analysis from what we've seen with networks of the same ilk (size, industry, end-user use, etc.). Nothing beats on-site work with the help of small-footprint agents gathering performance and health data that will be delivered and the property of yours, the potential client, a the end of the relatively short process.

Our skills can be used at a shallow level or a deep-dive into gap analysis of HIPPA Compliance, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SOX, and other industry-specific regulations that quite frankly are not usually difficult to achieve.

Agility will then assign a priority to items based on your goals and aligning your systems with "Best Practices" and report these items in a formal proposal.

In this proposal, we will point out the strengths and vulnerabilities of the network and recommend changes where/if applicable. System Discoveries are driven by vulnerability assessment and a custom application used to garner information about desktops, servers and the computer network as a whole.
