A network security audit checks your firewall, Wi-Fi, user accounts and devices for weak spots before an attacker finds them. You get a ranked list of fixes in plain English, not a stack of scanner output.
Get a Free IT AssessmentA network security audit is a structured check of the systems that connect your business. That means your firewall, switches, Wi-Fi, servers, laptops, cloud logins and the settings that tie them together. The goal is simple. Find what is open, outdated or misconfigured, and tell you what to fix first. You should finish with a clear picture, not a lecture.
Most small and mid-size offices in Atlanta have grown their networks piece by piece. A new router here, a guest Wi-Fi network there, a printer someone plugged in years ago. Old firewall rules stay in place long after the project ended. Former employees keep active accounts. Nobody has looked at the whole picture in a while, and that is exactly where attackers find a way in.
An audit looks at how things are actually set up, not how you think they are set up. We review settings, test from the outside and the inside, and check who can reach what. Then you get a written report with each finding explained in everyday words, a risk level, and a cost to fix it. You decide what to do and in what order.
Atlanta businesses hold data that criminals want. Law firms in Midtown, wealth managers in Buckhead, medical groups near the Perimeter and logistics companies near the airport all handle client records, payments or contracts. Insurers and larger customers increasingly ask for proof that your network has been reviewed. An audit gives you something real to show them, and it often turns up problems you did not know about.
Timing matters too. An audit makes sense before you sign a cyber insurance renewal, after a staff or office change, or when you take on a bigger client. It is also worth doing after an incident. Waiting for something to go wrong costs far more than checking first, and the findings give you a short, ordered list of fixes instead of a vague worry.
Everything below is part of one monthly plan. Pick a topic to see what is handled for you and how it works in a Atlanta office.
The firewall is your front door. We review every rule, check the firmware version and look for open ports that point at servers, cameras or remote desktop. Old rules left from past projects are common and risky.
We also test from outside your network to see what an attacker sees. If something is reachable that should not be, you will know exactly which device and which setting is responsible, and how to close it.
Once someone is in, a flat network lets them reach everything. We map your devices, check how the network is segmented and look for old servers, forgotten switches and unmanaged gear that nobody is watching.
We look at whether guest Wi-Fi is separate from staff traffic, whether printers and cameras sit apart from your files, and whether a single infected laptop could spread to the rest of the office.
Stolen passwords cause more breaches than clever hacking. We check password rules, multi-factor sign-in, admin rights and accounts that belong to people who left. Shared logins and old contractor access show up often.
We compare who has access with who should have it. Many offices find staff with admin rights they never needed, or accounts still active months after a departure. These are quick, cheap fixes with a big payoff.
Unpatched software is the easiest way in. We check which computers and servers are missing updates, which run unsupported systems and whether antivirus and disk encryption are actually switched on.
Laptops that travel get extra attention, since they leave your protected network every day. We report what is out of date, how risky each gap is and how to bring everything current without disrupting your day.
You get a written report that a non-technical owner can read. Each finding explains what we saw, why it matters and what it would take to fix. Risks are rated so you can see the real priorities at a glance.
We walk you through it in a short meeting and answer questions. If an audit shows a deeper need, we can point to a full risk review or an incident plan. You are never obligated to use us for the fixes.
Lots of companies can fix a computer. These are the reasons Atlanta businesses give for choosing Stack Atlanta and sticking with us.
Our team knows which Midtown towers need paperwork before anyone enters the riser room, how summer storms affect power across the metro and how long it really takes to get from Downtown to Alpharetta at 5 p.m. That local knowledge turns into faster, calmer fixes.
Your network, devices and backups are watched day and night. Most problems are handled before anyone notices, and you get a plain explanation when something needs your decision.
A free assessment ends with a per-user quote listing every included service. No hourly surprises, no unexpected after-hours charges and no fine print about what counts as extra.
Every part of Atlanta has its own mix of buildings, networks and risks. We schedule audits around your hours and work with property managers when needed.
Downtown offices sit in older towers with shared risers and strict building access. Managed IT here means coordinating with property management, keeping remote access reliable for MARTA commuters and scheduling heavier work after hours.
Law firms, agencies and tech teams in Midtown run on fast Wi-Fi, video calls and secure file sharing. They need dependable networks in busy high-rises and tight access control for client data.
Wealth managers, insurance agencies and professional offices in Buckhead hold sensitive financial data. Managed IT keeps that data protected, backed up and documented for audits and insurers.
Creative studios and startups in converted buildings along the BeltLine grow quickly and work from anywhere. Managed IT keeps onboarding simple and separates guest Wi-Fi from the business network.
Design firms, showrooms and production companies in West Midtown move large files every day. They need strong networks, solid backups and workstations that keep up with demanding software.
Corporate offices and medical groups around the Perimeter often connect several locations. Managed IT monitors those links and gives every site the same help desk.
Fast-growing tech and fintech companies in Alpharetta add people every month. Managed IT makes every new hire’s laptop, accounts and access ready before the first day.
Clinics, nonprofits and small professional offices in Decatur need dependable systems without a big IT budget. A managed plan covers updates, backups and security for one monthly fee.
Regional offices near the Galleria and The Battery often support staff across the northwest suburbs. Managed IT keeps those offices connected and supported without long waits for a visit.
These three are often confused. Each answers a different question, and many offices need an audit first.
| Topic | Stack Atlanta | Automated Vulnerability Scan | Penetration Test |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it checks | Settings, accounts, devices & exposure together | Known software flaws only | Whether a tester can break in |
| Human review | Yes, findings explained in context | Usually none, raw output | Yes, by a specialist |
| Typical cost | Fixed, quoted after a free assessment | Low, often a few hundred dollars | Higher, often several thousand |
| Time needed | Days to a couple of weeks | Hours | One to several weeks |
| Report style | Plain English, ranked by business risk | Long technical list | Technical, with proof of access |
| Fix guidance | Yes, with a written price per fix | Rarely | Sometimes, mostly findings |
| Best for | Most offices wanting a full picture | A quick routine check | Mature networks testing defenses |
The result is clarity you can use, not a pile of technical output.
Every finding is sorted from urgent to minor so you know where to start.
Open ports, weak passwords and stale accounts get closed before they are abused.
Each fix comes with a written price, so there are no surprises later.
A dated report helps with insurers, auditors and clients who ask about security.
An audit is one step. These related services help you act on what it finds.
A ready plan and expert help if an attack happens before your fixes are done.
Security Awareness TrainingShort lessons that teach staff to spot phishing, the most common way in.
Security Risk AssessmentA wider review that adds business impact, policies and vendor risk.
Vulnerability ScanningRegular automated checks that catch new gaps between full audits.
With our old provider, a broken laptop meant a ticket and a long wait. Now somebody picks up right away and most problems are gone before the call ends. The constant IT complaints in our office simply stopped.
We were worried about changing providers during our busiest season. The handover took about three weeks, email and files never stopped working and we received full documentation at the end.
Every repair used to come with its own invoice. Now it is one monthly amount, a short report and a conversation about upgrades before anything breaks. Budgeting for IT finally makes sense.
After a free assessment, you get a written quote with a fixed price and clear scope. No pressure, and no surprise charges.
Most small business audits typically run from a few thousand dollars up, depending on the number of users, devices and locations. A single small office costs less than a multi-site company. After a free assessment you get a fixed written quote, so you know the price before any work starts.
Most audits for a small or mid-size office take a few days to two weeks. Testing and data collection happen first, then we write the report. Larger networks with several locations take longer. We agree on a timeline up front and work around your business hours.
Rarely. Most checks run quietly in the background or after hours. Some scans can briefly add traffic, so we schedule them carefully. If a step could affect staff, we tell you first and pick a quiet time, such as early morning or a weekend.
An audit focuses on how your network and systems are set up and where they are weak. A risk assessment is wider. It adds business impact, policies, vendors and people. Many offices start with an audit, then add a risk assessment when they need a full view.
Usually yes. Having tools is not the same as having them set up correctly. Audits often find firewalls with old open rules, antivirus that is switched off on some machines and accounts that should have been removed. The tools help only if they are configured well.
Most businesses should do one at least once a year. Do one sooner after a move, a merger, a big staff change, a security incident or before a cyber insurance renewal. Regular scans between audits help catch new problems as they appear.
Yes. The report is written for owners and office managers, not only for IT people. Each finding says what we saw, why it matters and what to do. A short walkthrough meeting lets you ask questions. Technical detail is included separately if your team wants it.
Often, yes. Insurers ask about multi-factor sign-in, backups, patching and firewall setup. A dated audit report shows where you stand and what you have fixed. It can make the application easier and help you avoid answering questions you cannot back up.
No. We do not need to read your files or know your personal passwords. We need limited, read-only access to settings and systems, which you control and can remove afterward. We explain exactly what access is needed and why before we begin.
You review the report and decide what to fix. We give you a written quote for each item, ranked by risk. You can have us do the work, hand it to your own IT person, or do it in stages. There is no obligation to continue.
