What the Free Network & Security Audit Actually Is

It's a strategic posture review, not a sales call dressed up as an audit. A senior WCC engineer spends 60 minutes with you on a remote call examining your network design, firewall posture, wireless coverage, physical security stack, and managed services blind spots. Five business days later you receive a written report identifying the biggest gaps and recommended priorities. The audit framework is informed by NIST Cybersecurity Framework categories adapted to mid-market and SLED organizations.

  • Written report within 5 business days
  • Covers network, security, and managed services
  • NIST CSF-informed assessment framework
  • Yours to use however you want
  • No obligation, no sales follow-up loop
What's Covered

Eight Audit Domains in 60 Minutes

The audit moves fast across eight domains. Each gets a posture score (Healthy / At Risk / Critical) and prioritized recommendations in the written report. We don't try to fix everything — we identify what to fix first.

Network Health

Switching, routing, SD-WAN, internet circuits. End-of-life equipment, redundancy gaps, single points of failure.

Wireless Coverage

AP density vs. client demand, RF performance, capacity sizing, Wi-Fi 6E/7 readiness. Coverage gaps and over-deployment.

Firewall & Edge Security

NGFW configuration, rule hygiene, threat feed posture, SASE/ZTNA readiness. Stale rules from prior vendors.

Physical Security Stack

Camera coverage, access control hygiene, alarm integration, visitor management. Vendor lock-in and refresh cycles.

Managed Services Posture

What's actively monitored vs. blind spots. Reactive vs. proactive operations. SLA gaps with current providers.

Compliance Gaps

HIPAA, CJIS, PCI DSS, FERPA, SOC 2 alignment where applicable. Documentation, segmentation, audit-log adequacy.

Backup & DR Posture

Backup coverage, retention adequacy, recovery time objectives, ransomware recovery readiness. Tested vs. theoretical DR.

Endpoint & User Security

EDR coverage, patching cadence, MFA enforcement, identity hygiene, security awareness training posture.

What We Typically Find

The Most Common Findings From These Audits

After running these audits for SoCal organizations across enterprise, SLED, healthcare, and commercial real estate, certain patterns repeat. Here's what we see most often. Yours may differ — that's why we run the audit instead of guessing.

Patterns We See in Most Mid-Market Audits

Stale firewall rules from previous vendors

800-1,500 unused or duplicate rules accumulated from 3-4 firewall vendor transitions. Each adds attack surface and complicates change management.

Wireless designed for 2018, deployed in 2026

AP density was scoped for 1 device per user. Current reality is 2.8-3.5 devices per user. Capacity issues hidden by users blaming "slow internet."

End-of-life network gear past refresh

Core switches and firewalls past vendor end-of-support. Routine in mid-market — budget cycle skipped during 2020-2022, never caught up.

Backups never actually tested

Backup jobs run nightly. Recovery has never been validated. Ransomware recovery time is theoretical, not measured. Restoration on a real incident takes 4-8x longer than expected.

Camera/access systems with no monitoring

Physical security deployed but treated as recording-only. No active monitoring, no event correlation, no incident response framework. Cameras pulled for forensics only after the fact.

MFA gaps on critical admin accounts

MFA enforced on end-user accounts. Service accounts, vendor accounts, and admin break-glass accounts often unprotected. Single most common breach vector.

SaaS sprawl with no centralized identity

40-80 SaaS apps in use, only 15-20 connected to SSO/Entra ID. Joiners/leavers process incomplete. Former employees retain access for months after departure.

Compliance documentation behind actual posture

Organization is more secure than its documentation suggests. Audits fail not because security is bad, but because evidence of controls hasn't been maintained.

After the Audit

Where the Audit Leads Next

Most audits identify 3-5 priorities. Depending on what those are, the natural next step varies. Some go straight to a deeper engagement, others use the report internally first. All three paths below are valid.

Path A: Network & Managed Services

If the audit surfaces network design or monitoring gaps, the natural next step is a managed services engagement — managed network monitoring, managed WiFi, or Network as a Service depending on scope.

Path B: Physical Security Stack

If cameras, access control, or alarm gaps are the priority, the next step is a managed security engagement — live monitoring, video verification, hosted access control, or unified security monitoring.

View managed security pricing →

Path C: Wireless-Specific Issues

If wireless coverage or capacity is the dominant finding, the next step is a full Ekahau survey with credit-toward-APs offer. Full RF design, AP-on-a-stick validation, and vendor-matched BoM.

FAQ

Free Network & Security Audit — Frequently Asked Questions

The questions IT directors, CIOs, and facility leaders ask before scheduling a free audit in Southern California.

Is the network and security audit really free?
Yes. The audit is genuinely free with no obligation. 60-minute remote review with one of WCC's senior engineers, written report delivered within 5 business days. No credit card, no contract signing, no high-pressure sales follow-up. We do this because most organizations are running on stale network designs and security stacks but don't have time to assess what's broken. The audit identifies the biggest gaps so you can prioritize fixes — whether you hire WCC, hire someone else, or fix things internally.
What does the audit actually cover?
The audit covers eight areas: network health (switches, routers, SD-WAN, internet circuits), wireless coverage and capacity (existing AP density vs. demand), firewall and edge security (NGFW configuration, rule hygiene, threat feed posture), physical security stack (cameras, access control, alarm integration), managed services posture (what's monitored vs. blind spots), compliance gaps (HIPAA, CJIS, PCI, FERPA where applicable), backup and disaster recovery posture, and end user / endpoint security. We document what's working, what's at risk, and what changes would move the needle most.
What do I need to provide for the audit?
For the 60-minute remote audit, helpful inputs include: a rough network diagram (or just a description), list of vendors currently deployed (switching, wireless, firewall, cameras, access control), approximate site count and user count, any known issues or recent incidents, and any compliance requirements you're subject to. Don't worry if you don't have all of this — the audit is designed to work with whatever level of documentation you have. We'll ask questions during the call to fill in the gaps.
Who runs the audit?
Senior WCC engineers, not salespeople. The audit is led by someone who has actually designed and operated multi-site networks, firewall deployments, and physical security stacks for Southern California enterprises, K-12 districts, hospitals, and government agencies. WCC has been doing this for 22+ years across LAUSD, LAX, and hundreds of other deployments. The engineer running your audit has seen what works and what fails at scale.
What happens after the audit?
You receive a written report within 5 business days summarizing the audit findings — what's working, what's at risk, and prioritized recommendations. The report is yours to use however you want. If you'd like WCC to address any of the findings, we'll quote a scope. If you'd rather use the report to fix things internally or get competing quotes, that's also fine. No pressure, no recurring sales follow-up unless you ask for it.
Is this an alternative to penetration testing or vulnerability scanning?
No. The audit is a strategic posture review, not a technical security test. It identifies design gaps, architectural risks, and operational blind spots — things like "your firewall has 800 unused rules from previous vendors" or "your wireless was designed for 2018 client density and you have 3x the device count now." For deep technical testing, see our penetration testing or vulnerability assessment services. The audit is the right starting point if you're trying to figure out what to focus on; pen testing is the right next step if you already know your scope.
What's the difference between this and the Free Ekahau Wireless Assessment?
The Ekahau assessment is wireless-specific — a full RF site survey with predictive design, AP-on-a-stick validation, heatmaps, and AP placement plan. It's hands-on engineering with a deliverable that goes into procurement. The free network and security audit is broader and lighter — a strategic review across networking, security, and managed services to identify priorities. Many organizations start with the audit, then commission an Ekahau survey if wireless turns out to be the priority.
Does WCC serve our area in Southern California?
WCC serves Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, and Ventura counties from our Chino headquarters and Solana Beach branch. The remote audit is available to any organization with sites in these six counties. Call 909-364-9906 to schedule.
