Firewall configuration
Review configuration, firmware status, rules and available logs to identify unnecessary exposure and gaps in documented controls.
Remote access and VPN
Review remote-access methods, authorized users, access permissions and MFA settings where supported.
Patching
Review the patch status and maintenance process for the network, edge devices and agreed systems.
Backups
Review backup configuration, job records, configuration backups and available restore evidence. Any additional restore test is agreed before it runs.
What you receive
A plain-English report explains the reviewed controls, findings and limitations. A ranked fix list shows what needs attention first and why, so your team can plan remediation. This is a configuration and controls review, not a guarantee of security or compliance.

Frequently asked questions
Will the audit disrupt our systems?
The review is planned to minimize disruption. Any scan, test or change that could affect operations needs prior agreement and a suitable window. We cannot promise zero impact.
What access do you need?
Approved access to firewall settings and logs, VPN and access configuration, patch records, and backup and restore evidence. Read-only or supervised access is preferred where possible; elevated access is agreed only when needed.
How long does a network security audit take?
The audit is a one-week review once the agreed access and records are available. Missing access or an expanded scope may require an adjusted schedule.
Can we use the report for cyber insurance?
The report can help document network controls and remediation priorities. Your insurer decides what evidence it accepts; the report does not guarantee eligibility, coverage or a premium change.
Do we have to hire you to fix what you find?
No. You can use the ranked fix list with your own IT person or another provider. Monthly management with Top Rank is optional.
How often should we audit?
A yearly review is a useful starting point, with additional reviews after major network changes or incidents. Risk, insurer requirements and compliance obligations may call for a different cadence.
