We believe that information is the key to business success. Your information should allow every employee to make informed decisions to help direct your business.  Layer3 have developed a range of information services and solutions to meet the specific needs of small to medium sized businesses. Whether you are looking for a quick health check or a full security audit, we can explain your options in clear business terms and make concise recommendations about how you can resolve and avoid IT issues.

Network Audit
The Layer3 network audit provides an in-depth look at your network infrastructure and business utilization. During a network audit we look at a number of different aspects of your network, we will spend time looking at servers, checking things like server configuration and security; server performance; error log files; memory and hard disk usage; backup software configuration; anti-virus software configuration as well as collecting other important information.

We can also look at things like network performance, analyze network traffic and even run some basic tests on the firewall, depending on how you want us to spend our time.

We then go away and produce a written report summarizing our findings and making any recommendations we think are appropriate.

A health check is useful in providing an independent opinion of the state of your IT infrastructure, or as providing a good staring point if you are considering outsourcing your IT to Layer3. Either way, the report provided at the end of the Health Check will provide you with all the information you need in one easy to use report.

Security Audit
Even though our Network Audit comes with basic security audit checks, those customers who feel they are at risk from specific targeted threats should consider our detailed security audit.

The security audit comprises of some or all of the following:-

•  Network discovery
•  Network penetration testing
•  Vulnerability testing
•  DMZ server security check
