Audit and testing of networks

Everyday work of the organization brings gradual changes and in telecommunication and IT infrastructure. The outdated equipment is replaced with new, new network devices are bought in addition and connected, the software is updated. There are new communication channels, parameters of the existing channels change. Eventually, there is a human factor at fixation of changes at a network, the routine of shots leads to change of the serving engineering personnel, and also heads of IT of division are sometimes replaced. As a result the available information on a state telecommunication and IT of infrastructure of the organization loses the relevance or to be in a separate look and about the true situation it is impossible to obtain reliable information quickly. Periodically, as well as in the field of economy and finance, and in the field of telecommunications and IT making decision on carrying out the corresponding audit is necessary for your organization. It is necessary to staticize schemes and levels of the actual speeds of communication channels, configurations of the active network equipment, certification of schemes of switching and logical routes of data, level of load of network resources, degrees of their wear and prospects on replacement, and also about the level of information security and so on.

Existence of constantly actual information on a condition of the equipment, its configuration, quantity, installation sites, schemes of switching, logical data flows, level of load and terms of the forthcoming replacement allows to distribute objectively loading, to plan replacement to eliminate in time malfunctions.

Actual data on the level of security of information and on possible places of vulnerability can prevent leak or damage of important confidential data what much easier and the cheapest way to prevent, than to reap the fruits and to count losses.

However, it would seem to a good cause as audit, usually happens several opponents because often lack of actual and objective information on a state of affairs allows individuals to tie all questions in the sphere of IT on itself, to become irreplaceable because of lack of documentary information and to dictate the terms, and also to hide data on the actual level of use of the equipment that it is equivalent to concealment of information on extent of return of investments into this equipment.

For an objective assessment of the existing situation in the field of IT we recommend to address the corresponding independent experts, also as you do it in case of financial audit.

Our company, based on own developments in the field, and also using techniques, tools and resources of the leading partner companies, proposes the following solutions:

• Telecommunication audit;
• Audit of IT of infrastructure;
• Audit of network and information security;
• Periodic testing of a network for vulnerability existence from within;
• Penetration test - the test for penetration from the outside.

Our experts will help you it is necessary to define the direction of audit. The prepared report which will include the summary for the head, the staticized information on a subject of audit and information on the corresponding vulnerabilities, and also recommendations about correction of the found shortcomings will become result of work on audit and testing.

In particular, the expert assessment of the current level of functioning of the telecommunication equipment of SPD will be results of carrying out work on telecommunication audit:

• identification of bottlenecks of telecommunication infrastructure at the physical and logical level;
• inventory and documenting of the equipment and communication channels as a result of which the Customer receives a set of the staticized operational documentation on SPD facilitating the solution of problems of the current operation.

Also we suggest to develop recommendations for drawing up the plan of measures by the Customer about elimination of the possible shortcomings revealed during the analysis and the plan of modernization of telecommunication infrastructure.
