What is actually in place?
Bring the topology, managed devices, software versions, segmentation, backups, and known gaps into one understandable baseline.
Enterprise Network Advisory
See the network clearly before the next outage, refresh, or major change.
Arkis helps growing organizations and MSP partners turn incomplete network knowledge into evidence-backed findings, usable documentation, and a practical order of operations.
The problem
Network decisions should not depend on memory and guesswork.
Small organizations often have capable general IT support but no current topology, complete inventory, or independent view of operational risk. That makes outages harder to recover from and upgrades harder to plan.
What deserves attention first?
Separate confirmed concerns from lower-priority observations and items that still require investigation.
What should happen next?
Give management and technical teams a proportionate roadmap before they approve a refresh, change, or support transition.
Flagship service
Network Baseline Review
A fixed-scope advisory engagement for organizations that need a reliable current-state view before investing or changing direction.
What clients receive
- Management-friendly executive summary
- Current-state logical network diagram
- Network equipment inventory
- Evidence-backed findings and transparent limitations
- Prioritized improvement roadmap
- Scheduled findings-review meeting
Designed for fit
Focused expertise, clear boundaries.
The practice is intentionally narrow. That protects delivery quality and helps prospects identify quickly when another provider is a better choice.
A good fit
- Approximately 10–100 users
- One or two manageable locations
- No dedicated network engineer
- Remote access, exports, or guided screen sharing available
- A review, documentation need, or planned change—not an active emergency
- MSPs needing defined senior networking capacity
Not the right fit
- Active outage or emergency recovery
- 24/7 support, monitoring, or an unlimited help desk
- Penetration testing or compliance certification
- Microsoft 365, server, endpoint, or desktop administration
- Physical cabling, installation, or wireless site survey
- Large enterprise transformation
Fictional demonstration
See the intended deliverable, not a vague promise.
The Northstar Accounting Group sample uses entirely fictional identifiers, evidence, and findings to show the structure of a Baseline Review without implying a real client relationship.
