How healthy is your network?
Your network may be working today. But is it secure, resilient, documented and ready for tomorrow? The CNSS Network Assessment answers that independently, at senior engineering level.
Scope and price follow a short intake, so the assessment fits the size of the environment.
What is evaluated
CNSS reviews the environment as it actually runs, not as it was once documented. Configurations are read, not assumed.
Architecture
- Switching infrastructure
- Routing
- VLAN architecture
- Network segmentation
- WAN and internet connectivity
Security
- Firewall configuration and rule base
- Remote access and VPN
- Management access and hardening
- Security risks and exposure
Resilience
- Redundancy and high availability
- Single points of failure
- Configuration backups
- Performance bottlenecks
Lifecycle
- Firmware and software versions
- Hardware lifecycle and end-of-support dates
- Wi-Fi coverage and design
- Documentation
What you receive
Four documents, written for two audiences: management needs the risk picture, the ICT team needs the detail. Both get what they need.
Current state assessment
A clear overview of the environment as it exists today: topology, equipment, configuration and how traffic actually flows.
Risk and findings report
Technical weaknesses and operational risks, explained in plain language for management and in detail for the ICT team.
Prioritized recommendations
Each issue categorized by urgency and impact, so the important fixes come first and the rest can be planned.
Improvement roadmap
Practical, sequenced recommendations for improving the infrastructure over the coming months, with realistic scope.
How it works
Four steps, typically completed within a few weeks depending on the size of the environment.
- 01
Intake
A short conversation about the organization, known problems and what the network needs to support.
- 02
Review
On-site and remote review of equipment, configurations, security policy, wireless and documentation.
- 03
Report
Findings, risks and prioritized recommendations, presented and discussed with the ICT team and management.
- 04
Roadmap
An improvement plan the organization can execute with CNSS, its own team or its existing IT provider.
Who it is for
Organizations that depend on their network and want an honest picture of it: government bodies, hotels and resorts, healthcare, schools, financial and professional services, utilities and infrastructure operators.
It also suits ICT managers who want an independent view before a refresh, a firewall migration, an audit or a vendor proposal, and IT providers who want a senior network review for a customer.
The result can be executed by CNSS, by the organization's own ICT team, or by its existing IT provider. The assessment is independent of who does the work afterwards.

One conversation to scope it, a few weeks to complete it, and a clear roadmap at the end.
