Free Audits
Free IT infrastructure assessment for your company
Your company has grown, and the network and servers were added piece by piece over the years. Our IT infrastructure assessment starts with a free first visit, on-site or remote, where we record how things stand today without changing any system. You come away with a ranked list of risks and tasks that makes the next decision easier.

What is Infrastructure Review?
An IT infrastructure assessment is a view-only review of your network, servers, backups and access that records how things stand today without changing any system. It helps companies whose network grew piece by piece, who have no network map, whose previous IT person left, or who want an independent picture before buying a server or signing a support contract. In a free first visit, on-site or remote, PikoSystem lists servers, virtual machines, switches, routers and firewalls, records the topology, VLANs and internet links, flags software past vendor support such as Windows Server 2012, and checks backup status, shared admin accounts and default passwords. We also talk with management and key users about recurring problems. You receive a current-state report, a simple network map and a prioritized risk list with next steps, with no obligation to sign a contract.
When you need Infrastructure Review
- Nobody has a map of our network, so every change is trial and error.
- Our previous IT person left, and nobody has the passwords or the documentation.
- We're thinking about buying a new server but aren't sure we need one.
- Before signing a support contract, I want an independent picture of where we stand.
What Infrastructure Review includes
Network topology
We record how devices connect, VLANs, internet links and branch connections, and draw a simple network map.
Hardware and software lifecycle
We check operating system and firmware versions and flag anything past vendor support, such as Windows Server 2012.
Backups and access
We take a quick look at backup status, shared admin accounts, default passwords and remote access from outside.
Talking to key people
We talk with management and one or two key users about recurring problems and growth plans, so the recommendations match what the business needs.
What you get from Infrastructure Review
- A current-state report with an equipment and service inventory
- A simple network map
- A prioritized list of risks
- Recommended next steps, split into urgent and planned work
Infrastructure Review: a practical guide
What to prepare before a network consulting visit
Internet contracts and link details, a list of public IPs, purchase invoices for servers and licenses, and the names of contractors who have worked on the network all make the visit shorter and more accurate. If none of that exists, that is fine. Missing documentation goes into the report as a finding.
Someone with access to the server room and racks, who knows which server runs the accounting or office automation software, should be there during the visit. A note of recent outages and upcoming plans, such as an office move, a new branch or a hiring push, helps us rank the risks.
Risks we often find in company networks
A flat network with no VLANs, where CCTV cameras, guest Wi-Fi and servers all sit together, is one of the most frequent findings. A guest's infected laptop then shares a network with the accounting server. Another is port 3389 for Remote Desktop, or Winbox on a MikroTik router, forwarded straight to the internet.
Non-technical risks show up too: the company domain registered to a former employee's personal email, a single domain controller, a UPS with no shutdown link to the servers so they crash during long power cuts, or one admin password shared across every device and known to several people.
What a free IT infrastructure assessment cannot show
A first visit is a snapshot of a single day. How systems behave at peak hours or over weeks, such as disks filling up or an internet link saturating, only shows up with monitoring over time. Penetration testing, a full license compliance audit and deep hardware diagnostics are also outside this visit.
The report marks which findings are confirmed and which need more investigation. A high interface error counter on a switch, for example, is recorded, but tracing its cause is separate work.
After the assessment: turning findings into next steps
We usually sort findings into three groups. The first is quick fixes your own team can handle, like changing default passwords or closing open ports. The second needs a purchase budget, like replacing a server or an unsupported operating system. The third is projects that need design work, like network segmentation or offsite backups.
For the second and third groups, you can give the report to several contractors so their proposals rest on the same scope and can be compared. After major changes, a short follow-up review confirms the risks are actually closed.

Infrastructure Review: frequently asked questions
Is the first visit really free? Does it commit us to anything?
Yes, the first visit and its report are free and carry no obligation to sign a contract. The report is yours, and you can hand it to any contractor.
How is this different from IT infrastructure consulting?
The free assessment gives you a picture of where things stand and the main risks. IT infrastructure consulting goes further, covering architecture design, equipment sizing, migration planning and support during implementation. Consulting is a paid service with its scope set in the contract.
Do you visit on-site or only work remotely?
Both. For networks and physical equipment an on-site visit gives a more accurate picture, and availability depends on your location. Cloud services and data center servers can be reviewed remotely.
Will you ask for our system passwords?
The first assessment does not require you to share any passwords. The review happens with your responsible person, on their screen, and we change no settings.
