One time network and security review for small and mid sized teams

Network health and security in a clear red amber green report.

This is a focused review of your network, servers, backups and remote access. You get a simple scorecard, a short list of real risks and practical next steps that a normal team can act on.

  • Red amber green scoring across network, security and recovery basics.
  • Plain language findings that owners, managers and non technical leaders can follow.
  • Priority list of what to fix first, not a long wish list that never gets done.

Many clients use this as a starting point before committing to Managed IT Support, Cyber Security Care or a broader roadmap.

Who this service is for
  • Owner led and professional firms that rely on their network, but have not had a review in some time.
  • Teams that have grown or moved to hybrid work and want to know if the setup still makes sense.
  • Leaders who want a neutral view of risks and quick wins before buying more tools.

If you already have an internal IT person or another support firm, we can carry out the review and share the findings with them so they can act on it.

What is included in the Network Health and Security Assessment.

The aim is not a heavy audit. It is a focused look at the parts that matter most so you can see where you stand.

Core network

Internet, firewalls and switches

A basic review of how you get online and how your network is stitched together.

  • Internet connections, failover and how they tie into your firewall or router.
  • High level look at switch layout, bottlenecks and basic network hygiene.
  • Simple view of where guest, staff and server traffic flows today.
Perimeter and remote access

How people connect in

A check on how staff, vendors and remote users reach your systems.

  • VPN setups, remote desktop exposure and common remote access tools.
  • Basic checks for open ports that stand out for your size and risk level.
  • Simple notes on multi factor use for remote access where it is available.
Servers and systems

Core servers and line of business apps

A high level view of how your important systems are set up and maintained.

  • Basic review of server roles, age and where they sit in the network.
  • Patch habits and support state for a small set of key systems.
  • Notes on single points of failure that stand out at first pass.
Backup basics

Backups and simple recovery view

We do not rebuild your backup setup here. We check if it makes basic sense.

  • What appears to be backed up today and what looks outside backup coverage.
  • Where backups live and how many separate copies you have.
  • Simple notes on how long a basic recovery might take for core items.
Security posture

Overall risk picture and quick wins

A short view of where you sit and what you can do in the next few months.

  • Red amber green scoring for network, access, backup and people basics.
  • Short list of three to seven high value actions that a normal team can handle.
  • Notes you can share with insurers, boards or clients if they ask where you stand.
Fit with other services

How this links with support and advisory

The assessment is a snapshot. Other services help you act on the picture it shows.

  • Managed IT Support can take on day to day work that flows from the findings.
  • Cyber Security Care can handle deeper security tools and hardening once priorities are clear.
  • Backup and Disaster Recovery can be shaped using the backup section of the report.

How the Network Health and Security Assessment works.

Simple steps. Clear outputs. No heavy audit that drags on for months.

1

Discovery and access

We speak with you or your IT contact, gather basic diagrams or inventories if they exist, and arrange secure access for the review. The focus is on a light touch that respects your time.

2

Review and scoring

We carry out the review across network, remote access, servers, backups and basic security. Findings are scored red amber green with short notes and a focus on patterns rather than a long list of tiny issues.

3

Walkthrough and next steps

We walk you through the report in plain language, answer questions and agree on a short priority list. You can use your own team, existing vendors or us to carry out the work.

Is this service a good fit for you.

A quick way to see if this kind of review makes sense for your size and situation.

Usually a good fit when:

  • You have 10 to 150 staff and have not had a structured network and security review in the last few years.
  • You feel you are likely fine, but could not explain why in simple terms if a client asked.
  • You want a neutral view before buying new tools or making large changes.

Maybe not the right fit when:

  • ! You run many sites with formal regulatory frameworks that need a heavy audit and long form reports.
  • ! You already complete detailed compliance audits with an existing partner every year.
  • ! You only want a quote for a specific piece of hardware rather than a wider view of risk.
