Discover and document

Build a complete inventory of devices, firmware, and roles, and map how traffic flows through the network. This visibility is the foundation of the audit.

Measure and review

Baseline performance over a representative period, and review security controls — firewalls, patching, access, and segmentation — to identify risks and bottlenecks.

Plan and act

Turn findings into a prioritised action plan. Address quick wins immediately and schedule structural improvements, then repeat the audit periodically to track progress.

Key Takeaways

  • Start with discovery and documentation.
