Network Assessment + Infrastructure Review
Continuous vulnerability scanning across your network, firewall reviews, and annual policy revalidation — finding the weak spots before attackers do and keeping your infrastructure locked down.
When was your last network health check? All IT Services conducts thorough network assessments and infrastructure reviews from our Brookvale office, serving Sydney businesses across the Northern Beaches, North Shore, CBD and greater metropolitan area. We identify misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and single points of failure before they become costly outages.
What Our Network Assessment Covers
🌐 Vulnerability Scanning
Continuous internal and external scans identify network-level vulnerabilities across firewalls, switches, routers, wireless access points, and connected infrastructure. Every finding is cross-referenced against the CVE database and prioritised by real-world exploitability.
🔥 Firewall + Policy Review
We review your firewall rules, NAT configurations, VPN tunnels, and access control lists to identify overly permissive rules, stale entries, and misconfigurations that could expose your internal network to external threats.
📋 Annual Policy Revalidation
Security policies decay over time. We conduct annual reviews of your network architecture, segmentation, access policies, and disaster recovery plans — ensuring they reflect your current environment, not last year’s.
Continuous Network Monitoring
A point-in-time assessment is a snapshot. Our approach is continuous — we monitor your network infrastructure on an ongoing basis and alert you to new exposures as they emerge.
Asset discovery and inventory. We automatically discover and catalogue every device, application, and service on your network. Shadow IT, rogue devices, and forgotten test servers are flagged and addressed — you can’t protect what you can’t see.
Network segmentation validation. We verify that your network segments are properly isolated — ensuring that a breach in one area can’t easily move laterally to critical systems like finance, HR, or customer databases.
Wi-Fi security assessment. Wireless networks are audited for encryption standards, rogue access points, guest network isolation, and SSID security — particularly important for hospitality businesses running public and private networks side by side.
SMB/CIFS share scanning. File shares are assessed for overly broad permissions, sensitive data exposure, and compliance with data classification policies — helping you meet data protection requirements under the Australian Privacy Act.
Integrated reporting. All network findings feed directly into your monitoring + reporting dashboard and are tracked through your cybersecurity audit programme — providing a single view of your security posture.
Is Your Network Actually Secure?
Most businesses assume their network is secure because “the firewall is on.” But firewalls are only as good as their configuration, and networks change constantly — new devices, new cloud services, new remote workers, new risks.
Our network assessments are designed for Australian SMBs who need enterprise-grade visibility without enterprise-grade complexity. Whether you’re running a single office in Sydney or multiple sites across the country, we tailor the assessment to your environment.
Combined with endpoint security and employee cyber training, network assessments complete your defence-in-depth strategy — protecting the perimeter, the devices, and the people.

Network Assessment FAQs for Sydney Businesses
What does a network assessment uncover?
Our network assessments identify misconfigured firewalls, open ports, outdated firmware, weak wireless security, unpatched switches and routers, VLAN segmentation issues and single points of failure. We map your entire network topology and provide a risk-rated report with specific remediation steps prioritised by severity.
How long does a network assessment take?
For a typical Sydney SMB with 20 to 100 users, our network assessment takes two to three business days. This includes automated scanning, manual verification, analysis and report preparation. Larger environments with multiple sites or complex infrastructure may require additional time.
Can you assess our network remotely?
We can perform many assessment tasks remotely using secure scanning tools deployed to your network. However, for a comprehensive review we recommend at least one on-site visit to inspect physical infrastructure, cabling, rack organisation and environmental controls. Being based in Brookvale, we can easily visit Sydney businesses across the Northern Beaches, North Shore and CBD.
