Starfish Advise: Network Audit

As a technology stakeholder, do you have the peace of mind that comes from a full understanding of your network environment? Many networks have grown organically over years, and this can lead to problems such as End-of-Life hardware, unsupported software, configuration drift, and the absence of a structured design that aligns to business goals.

Starfish take a structured approach to Network Audit, with a cost-effective work package that can be tailored directly to your needs. The audit reviews the following items and provides you with a documented report that can be actioned internally, by another third-party, or by Starfish.

  • Design Review: Alignment to strategy goals, performance and user experience, availability, and security.
  • Hardware Review: Inventory, End-of-Life (EoL) and lifecycle analysis, and hardware suitability.
  • Software Review: End of Software Support (EoS), Common Vulnerability and Exploit (CVE) checks, and feature alignment.
  • Configuration Review: Alignment to vendor and industry best practices, configuration drift.
  • Specific Problems: Audits can also focus on identifying the root cause of discrete problems or incidents.

We have recently helped a public sector organisation understand the resilience weaknesses within their design, as well as executing a data centre audit for a global bank who are planning a data centre migration.
