Network Audits & Health Checks

SAER network audits provide a clear, engineering-grade view of what you have today and what must improve to reduce outages and risk. We review network topology, device lifecycle, configuration standards, firewall rules, VPN access, segmentation, Wi-Fi settings, backups of configs, and monitoring coverage.

You receive a structured report with risk-rated findings and a prioritised remediation roadmap (quick wins, medium work, strategic upgrades). Audits are ideal before mergers, site moves, cyber insurance renewals, compliance reviews, or when your business has "mystery outages."

Comprehensive assessment with actionable recommendations, not just a list of problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about network audits and health checks

Typical network audits take 1-3 weeks depending on scope and complexity. A single-site SME with standard infrastructure can often be completed in 5-7 business days. Multi-site organizations or complex environments with legacy systems, cloud integrations, and multiple vendors may require 2-3 weeks. The timeline includes discovery (1-3 days), analysis and testing (3-10 days), and report preparation (2-4 days). We provide a detailed project plan with milestones after the initial scoping call.

Yes. Following the audit presentation, we can provide fixed-price or time-and-materials quotes for remediation work. The audit report includes effort estimates for each recommendation (hours/days), which helps you budget and prioritize. You're free to implement fixes yourself, use your existing IT team, or engage SAER for remediation. Many clients choose a phased approach: quick wins first (immediate security gaps, config errors), then medium-term improvements (monitoring, documentation), followed by strategic upgrades (hardware refresh, architecture changes).

Absolutely. Most modern businesses operate hybrid environments, and we assess both on-premises and cloud infrastructure as a unified system. This includes reviewing site-to-cloud connectivity (VPN, ExpressRoute, Direct Connect), hybrid identity integration (Azure AD, authentication flows), security boundaries between environments, and data flow mapping. We evaluate cloud network configurations (VNets, security groups, routing) alongside on-prem LAN/WAN design to identify gaps in segmentation, monitoring, or redundancy that span both environments.
