Auditing Process
Network Discovery
We utilises key software packages that uses both agent and probe technology to gather information and report properties from all IP-enabled devices on a network. The agent and probe have a small network footprint and as such will have little noticeable effect on the end users experience. It is designed to run in the background gathering information ready to be compiled into a detailed report. Using our asset reporting software is safe, secure and completely confidential. All access information remains in the customer’s control.
Manual Discovery
Should it be required, a manual audit can be done as well on your IT infrastructure to improve the accuracy of the reports and validate the network discovery. Manual discoveries are utilised to provide a complete view of where the devices are located on your premise as well as to ensure that all systems have been available for Network Discovery
The output:
- Site diagrams of how your network is connected
- Site documentation as showing
- all IT assets connected to the network
- the function of each device
- the software installed on the device (server, workstation, laptop)
- the warranty period of the device
- Risk & Recommendations document outlining items that need to be fixed as they pose a risk (missing security patches, obsolete software, end of life, imminent hardware failure) or they are affecting productivity (computers not up to minimum operating standards, misconfiguration of devices, aging equipment).
From here we can work with you to put in place a remediation plan for the items that have been highlighted, make operational changes, provide a scope of work and project budget or work with you to put together a business case to obtain management or board approvals.
