Find out what’s really going on with your network — before a breach or outage does it for you.
Netsafe Solutions performs comprehensive network assessments for small and mid-sized businesses across Charlotte and the Carolinas — auditing switches, routers, firewalls, Wi-Fi, cabling, and security configurations so you know exactly where your infrastructure stands. According to Verizon’s 2025 DBIR, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses.
What Is a Network Assessment?
A network assessment is a thorough evaluation of your business’s IT infrastructure — every switch, router, firewall, access point, cable run, and security configuration — designed to identify vulnerabilities, bottlenecks, and outdated hardware before they cause problems. According to Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and many of those attacks exploit known network weaknesses that a proper assessment would have flagged.
For Charlotte-area businesses, a network assessment answers the questions most IT environments can’t: Is our firewall configured correctly? Are there open ports we don’t know about? Is our Wi-Fi coverage adequate for our team? Is our cabling rated for the speeds we need? Netsafe Solutions documents every device and connection, tests performance across your environment, and gives you a clear picture of where you stand — and what to fix first.
What Does a Netsafe Solutions Network Assessment Cover?
Netsafe Solutions performs six core assessments as part of every network evaluation. Each area is documented in your final report with specific findings and prioritized recommendations.
Network Audit
A full inventory and review of your switches, routers, firewalls, and overall network architecture. We document every device, map network topology, check firmware versions, and flag end-of-life hardware — all tracked through NinjaOne RMM for complete visibility.

We scan for open ports, outdated firmware, misconfigured firewalls, default credentials, and unpatched vulnerabilities that attackers actively exploit. According to Verizon’s 2025 DBIR, 74% of all breaches involve the human element — our scanning catches the technical gaps that complement your security awareness training.

Slow file transfers, lagging video calls, and unexplained bottlenecks all have a root cause.

Sometimes the problem is physical. Cat5 cabling that can’t support gigabit speeds, consumer-grade switches in a business environment, or hardware that should’ve been replaced three years ago. We inspect your physical infrastructure and flag every component that’s limiting your network’s performance or reliability.

Network assessment pricing depends on the size and complexity of your environment — number of office locations, total device count, and network segments. A typical assessment for a Charlotte-area business with a single office and 20 to 50 devices generally runs between $1,500 and $5,000. Multi-location environments or networks with more complex infrastructure are scoped and quoted individually.

How long does a network assessment take?
Most assessments for small and mid-sized businesses take one to two weeks from start to final report delivery. The on-site audit itself typically takes one to two days depending on the number of locations. Netsafe Solutions then compiles a prioritized report with clear recommendations — not a stack of raw scan data.
What does a network assessment report include?
Your report includes a complete device and infrastructure inventory, security vulnerability findings, Wi-Fi coverage analysis, performance bottleneck identification, and a prioritized remediation plan with estimated costs. Every finding is explained in plain English so your leadership team can make informed decisions.
Do I need a network assessment if my network seems fine?
Yes. According to Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses — and many of those businesses believed their network was secure before the breach. A network assessment catches security gaps, outdated firmware, and performance issues that aren’t visible day to day.
Does Netsafe Solutions offer ongoing network monitoring after the assessment?
Yes. Netsafe Solutions provides 24/7 network monitoring through NinjaOne RMM as part of our managed IT services. After the assessment, many businesses transition to ongoing monitoring so issues are caught and resolved proactively. The assessment report serves as the baseline for continuous improvement.
