What is a Network Audit
A network audit is the process of reviewing all the devices and software connected to your network. This can be done manually or with the use of automated tools. The audit also checks security details like user access and permissions and reviews necessary data backup and disaster recovery plans. From a network audit, your business can spot weaknesses and ensure your network is secure, efficient, and prepared for any disruptions, ensuring smooth operations in the long term.
Knowing when to upgrade your network systems helps you plan and budget more effectively, boosting productivity and security. But how do you know it’s time for an upgrade? A network audit can reveal outdated inventories, identify systems needing refreshes, and reduce time wasted troubleshooting. It also ensures compliance with industry regulations, like HIPAA and PCI. A network audit helps prevent outages and keeps your business running smoothly by catching issues early. If you have network issues and you are looking for answers and solutions, speak to our team.
We have years of experience in network auditing, and we can highlight any issues and recommend the right solution, tailored to your business.

Audit Process
At Performance Networks, the audit process begins with a detailed inventory of your entire network, covering all physical and virtual devices across locations. This includes hardware like routers, servers, and firewalls, as well as software licenses and versions. The audit also assesses network security, cloud usage, and wireless network performance, identifying obsolete or soon-to-expire equipment and services. Backup systems and disaster recovery plans are thoroughly evaluated. Additionally, current network configurations are analysed to ensure optimal performance and compliance, helping your business stay efficient and secure.
Once all the data from your network audit is compiled, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining the findings. This report will highlight key insights, such as obsolete devices, outdated software, or underutilised services. With these findings, Performance Networks provides clear recommendations and actionable steps to address any issues, allowing your business to make the right decisions about upgrades, budgeting, and any security improvements. Whether you need to enhance your network or boost security, a network audit ensures your infrastructure is fully optimised.

What Our Customers Are Saying
"We were grateful that Performance Networks pulled out all the stops to deliver a project within a very tight timescale and to budget. From the planning to the implementation, the Performance Network team worked closely with the BISC IT team, ensuring what was provided best suited the BISC’s needs. And even when things did not go to plan, the Performance Networks team adapted quickly to the new situation and came up with alternative approaches which delivered the same objectives to the same cost. The rural location and older buildings with their associated infrastructure make any BISC IT project a challenge, but Performance Networks overcame every obstacle without hesitation, delivered as promised and followed up with post-implementation support which was unfailing. We would happily turn to Performance Networks again for future projects."
Sarah Butler – Librarian and Head of Learning, BISC
"From the first point of contact Performance Networks have been amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to networks and WiFi and are able to turn a complex topic into something simple and easy to understand. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone who needs a new network or is experiencing performance or connectivity issues with their existing network."
Steven Bennett, Head of IT, Manchester Central
"Performance Networks’ knowledge and expertise on WiFi solutions were invaluable to us during this huge and complex upscale project, and we are delighted with the work they have completed over the last few months.” “We’re really pleased to have completed this project, which is quite an undertaking and brings the technical infrastructure of our 19th century Palace very much up to speed with modern-day requirements."
Nick Johnson, IT Manager, Alexandra Palace
"Performance Networks resolved a complex ongoing WiFi issue in one visit; they are fast to respond and highly professional. We have since engaged them for further WiFi consultancy and thoroughly recommend their services."
David Jackson, DHL
"WiFi is now only an issue if it’s not available – and these occasions have been very few and far between. Access Points are remotely monitored so that Performance Networks can inform management if there is a problem even before they’re aware. Guests have a support line to call in case of difficulty. Performance Networks has helped Ragdale Hall to update its infrastructure to meet the requirements of the business, which is more and more reliant on technology. Guests and suppliers want instant communication, they need banks to provide immediate authorisations. All of this depends upon a stable platform, with excellent response when issues arise. As with WiFi, Ragdale Hall’s staff are only concerned when the technology gets in the way of providing outstanding customer service. Performance Networks have provided that stability and have been pro-active in ensuring that Ragdale Hall maintains and improves its systems."
Keith Palmer, IT Systems manager Ragdale Hall
"I have worked with several WiFi providers over 15 years at CCT, and Performance Networks are the only one who have truly understood the needs of our organisation. With three large conference centres that experience high guest footfall, our WiFi requirements are significant. Performance Networks have delivered a solution that meets our needs fully. I’ve been really impressed with their service after the installation too. They monitor our entire network and their support is second-to-none, proactively identifying and resolving issues before we’re even aware of them! I’m confident to say that our WiFi is sector-leading, which has a huge impact on guest experience."
