What is a Network Assessment?

A network assessment provides a snapshot of the entire IT network.

It creates an effective IT strategy including recommendations and pain points.

The network and security assessment will cover the following:

To get a “TRUE” picture of your entire business, you need a solid foundation to build

on and you should collect the following information within a excel sheet with your

management team.

2. Geography?

3. Business Goals?

4. New technology?

5. Pain points?

Step 2 = Assess Your Network Assets

This will show any vulnerability in your network that might be exploited by a security

threat. Risks include potential consequences and vulnerabilities including loss of

data, downtime and security breach.

following areas:

Firewalls & Routers

Network Switches

Wireless Access Points

guide lines. This will reduce the potential for legal action that may be taken by a

user, and often protect the organization.

Do you have an Email and Computer Monitoring policy?

outline that the company can monitor email and/or computer activity any time.

Do you have an BYOD Policy?

If an employee leaves/terminated, phone must given to IT to delete email/data or

phone can be remotely wiped causing complete data loss. Organization is not

responsible for data lost if policy is violated.
