What’s Involved in a LAN Audit?

A LAN audit conducted by an OMNI SG technician typically takes about four to eight hours to complete.  During this time, a thorough examination of your network will take place. 

It’s important to understand though that this LAN Audit will not interfere with your daily operations. Nothing will be changed or altered in your network. We will simply gather information about your current environment and provide you with whatever recommendations we feel are warranted.  This may include suggestions for hardware, software, security, network procedures, data back-up and more. 

If you have existing areas of concern, we advise you to let us know about those items in advance, so that we can focus specifically on these areas during the audit. 

What do we check? 

As part of the LAN audit process, we gather and check: 

• Company Information

• Network Configuration

• Server Configuration – including, but not limited to Disaster Recovery Plans, Virus Protection, Security configuration, Firewall/Router, Backup Information, etc.

• Internet Information

• Printers and Major Peripherals

• User Information

• Workstation Configuration

• Application Documentation - Licensing

• Database Documentation - Licensing

• Procedures and Policies

• Service Logs

• Anti-Virus Protection Status

• Vendor Information

Upon completion of the audit, we will put a summary report together for you with recommendations based on our findings.  

A complete LAN audit can provide you with detailed information regarding the integrity of your current system, ensure your hardware and software systems are performing at optimum levels, and highlight areas of concern and make recommendations for future growth.
