Network Assesment

What is Network assessment?

A network assessment constitutes an audit methodology employing processes or scripts to systematically scan a network, unveiling potential risks or irregularities. This evaluation gathers data on both the network and endpoints, aiming to identify any deviations from compliance or standards set by the managed service provider (MSP).

Moreover, a network assessment serves the additional purpose of delving beneath the surface, particularly when clients are transitioning to ITS from another provider. It aims to uncover intricacies and nuances that may impact the overall network performance and adherence to MSP standards during this transition.

"From a business owner's standpoint, a network assessment brings clarity and offers a realistic perspective on technology. It alleviates concerns, providing peace of mind by minimizing worries for business owners."
