Networking · Network assessment

Know exactly what is on your network — and what to fix first

A vendor-neutral review of performance, security and capacity, with a clear, prioritised plan you can act on.

Sound familiar?

What we hear from customers

Nobody knows what’s on the network, and the diagrams are years old.
Teams calls drop or sound robotic every afternoon.
Guests, printers and servers all sit on one flat network.
Our firewall and switches are out of vendor support.
We can’t tell whether to upgrade the internet or replace the equipment.

What we do

What the assessment covers

Discovery

Every switch, firewall, access point and connection identified and documented.

Performance

Bandwidth, latency and utilisation measured over a monitoring window.

Wi-Fi health

Coverage, interference and roaming issues identified.

Security & segmentation

Firewall rules, VLANs, remote access and admin access reviewed.

Lifecycle

End-of-life and end-of-support equipment flagged with replacement timing.

Roadmap

Findings ranked by risk and impact, with costed options.

Architecture

What we assess, layer by layer

We review the whole path from your internet connection to each user’s device.

Where AI helps

Practical AI, switched on with care

Modern network platforms include AI analytics. We configure and interpret them for you — the AI belongs to the platform, the judgement comes from our engineers.

Platform analytics

Anomaly detection

Cloud-managed platforms flag unusual client and device behaviour during the assessment window.

Platform analytics

Experience insights

Supported platforms highlight likely causes of poor Wi-Fi or call quality.

Our approach

Tested by people

AI findings are confirmed with hands-on testing before they appear in your report.

How it works

A clear path from start to finish

  1. Day 1Kick-offAgree scope, sites and access. Read-only discovery begins.
  2. Week 1–2MeasurePassive monitoring and on-site checks; no disruption to staff.
  3. AnalyseAssessFindings rated by risk, performance impact and cost.
  4. ReadoutReportWalk-through of findings and the roadmap with your team.

What you get

  • Assessment report with risk ratings
  • Current-state network diagrams
  • Asset and end-of-life register
  • Capacity and performance findings
  • Prioritised, costed roadmap
  • Management summary

FAQ

Common questions

Will the assessment disrupt our staff?

No. Discovery is read-only and monitoring is passive. On-site checks are arranged around your working hours.

How long does it take?

For a typical small to mid-sized business, one to three weeks depending on the number of sites and the monitoring window.

Do we have to buy equipment from you afterwards?

No. The report is vendor-neutral and yours to keep.
