Find out what would break first
Networks grow by addition. Over the years that produces dependencies nobody documented, hardware nobody replaced and capacity nobody measured. An audit gives you a clear, written picture of where you actually stand, before you commit budget to fixing anything.
The cost of not knowing
Undocumented dependencies
The map of how everything fits together usually lives in one person’s head. It leaves when they do, and the gap only shows during an incident.
Ageing hardware
End-of-life equipment still carrying production load, with no patch path, no spares and no replacement plan agreed.
Capacity blind spots
Utilisation creeps up quietly. Without measurement, the first sign that you are out of headroom is often an outage, not an alert.
What we examine
Every audit covers the same eight areas, adjusted to what you run. Nothing is skipped because it looks fine on the surface.
Zone files, scopes, lease behaviour and resolver paths, checked against current best practice.
How address space is allocated, tracked and reclaimed, and where it is running out.
Whether a single device, link or site failure would take services down with it.
Firmware levels, end-of-life status and the spares and support behind each device.
Where utilisation is near the ceiling, and what the next twelve months will demand.
The undocumented dependencies that would surface first in an incident.
What is backed up, how often, and whether a restore has ever actually been tested.
What you can see today, and the blind spots where a fault would go unnoticed.
Design, audit and optimisation
Where you should be
Scalable, robust architectures designed for the demand you expect, not the demand you had when the network was first built.
Where you are
Systematic evaluation for bottlenecks, vulnerabilities and single points of failure, delivered as a written report.
Staying there
Ongoing updates, patching and redundancy testing, so the resilience you paid for does not quietly decay.
What you get
Every finding documented in plain language, not a raw tool export. Something you can hand to a board as easily as to an engineer.
What would break first, ranked by likelihood and impact, so budget goes to the right place before it is spent.
A design for where the network should be, sized for the growth you expect rather than the estate you inherited.
A sequenced plan to close the gap, which you can run yourselves or hand to us to deploy.
Where headroom is running out and which hardware needs replacing, with enough lead time to budget for it.
How it is delivered
Scope and access
We agree what is in scope, agree a timeline, and take read-only access to the estate. Nothing changes on anything live.
Audit and analysis
We map dependencies, test for single points of failure and measure utilisation against the demand you actually expect.
Report and roadmap
You get the written findings, the prioritised risks and a remediation plan. What happens next is entirely your call.
Read-only access. Nothing on your live network is changed during the audit.
We assess what you run, not what we would prefer to sell you.
Findings in plain language, not a tool dump nobody reads.
The report is yours, whether or not you engage us to act on it.
Common questions
No. The audit is read-only. Any remediation is agreed separately, after you have seen the findings and decided what you want done.
Read-only access to device configurations and monitoring, scoped and agreed before we start. Nothing more than the audit requires.
It depends on the size and complexity of the estate. We agree a timeline during scoping, so there are no open-ended surprises.
No. We assess what you run across vendors, and the report is not a sales pitch for a specific product.
No. Many engagements start and stop with the audit. What you do with the findings is your decision.
Where an audit leads
Enterprise DNS
Geo-redundant resolution built on open standards, with no per-query licensing.
Network Monitoring and Metrics
Real-time visibility powered by Zabbix, so problems surface as trends rather than as outages.
Start with an audit
You get a written report on what you are running and what would break first, with no obligation to buy anything else.
