Inventory
Computers, servers and network hardware with models, age and remaining warranty.
We examine not only the technology but the procedures: how access is granted, what happens on the day someone leaves, who is responsible for the backups.
Computers, servers and network hardware with models, age and remaining warranty.
What is paid for against what is actually used. Something paid for and unused turns up almost every time.
An up-to-date topology with addresses and segments. Quite often it is the first such drawing in the company's history.
Whether there are any at all, what goes into them, where they sit and whether anyone has restored one.
Accounts, administrator rights, forgotten logins of leavers, where the passwords are kept.
What could stop the business tomorrow and what closing it would cost.
Five working days for a company of up to a hundred workplaces. We barely disturb the staff.
An automated network scan plus an inspection of the server room and interviews with the administrators.
We try restoring a backup, look at what is exposed to the outside and check that updates are being installed.
We compare what we found with how it should be and weigh the consequences of each gap.
Documentation of the estate and a plan of work with priorities and costs.
The documentation stays yours whether or not the work continues. That is a point of principle: a document you can hand to any contractor removes your dependence on whoever wrote it.
Usually one person knows, and far from everything. Time after time the survey finds a door left open to the outside and forgotten, working logins of people who left long ago, a machine without a single patch in two years and backups never once tested for restore. There is no reproach here: that is roughly how every company looks.
No. The collection runs in the background and inspecting the server room takes a couple of hours. Only the test restore is agreed separately, and we do it on a test environment.
You will not have to. The material is written in detail: an outside contractor or your own specialist can work from it. We do give the figures for fixing things, but the decision remains entirely yours.
Five days and you have the full picture: what you have, what is dangerous and what to tackle first.

There is no such city in the list. Check the spelling.
