Network assessments: an example
Findings on the network
Each finding sits on the device it affects, so the client sees where the risk is.
Risk at a glance
Red, amber and green markers show what to fix first, before anyone reads a page.
Evidence behind each one
What you found, why it matters and what it takes to fix, in one record per finding.
The basics
What is a network assessment?
A network assessment is a review of a network's design, security, performance and resilience, usually carried out by an MSP before taking on a client or ahead of a project. It records what is there, what is at risk and what to fix, in order.
The usual output is a long report with the network diagram in an appendix, and most clients read only the summary. Showing the findings on the diagram itself makes the risk easy to see: a red marker on the firewall needs little explanation.
In Blueprintr the assessment is a diagram of the network as found, with a numbered marker on each finding and a stratum holding its evidence, impact, recommendation and effort.
Why Blueprintr
Assessments clients read to the end
The network as you found it, with every finding where it belongs.
The network as found
Draw the sites, firewalls, switches, servers and specialist kit with the network and Lucide icon packs, grouped as the client's buildings are.
VellumNumbered, coloured findings
Place a numbered marker on each affected device and colour it by severity, with a small key so the colours need no explanation.
The report behind each marker
Give every finding a stratum with its evidence, impact, recommendation and effort, and a summary table that links to each one.
StratumDiscovery on Enterprise
Continuum Local sweeps the ranges you allow over SNMP and draws what it finds, with summaries of versions, VLANs, uplinks and single points of failure.
ContinuumPresent the findings
On Premium, walk the client through the findings one slide at a time with Podium, each slide a framed view of the live diagram.
PodiumA copy for the client
Share the assessment privately, or export the diagram as a PDF and the blueprint as a zip for the client's records.
How to
How to write a network assessment in Blueprintr
Create a private blueprint
Sign up free and create a blueprint for the assessment in the client's team or portfolio.
Draw the network as found
Add every site, link and device you found, with the names on their labels.
Pin the findings
Place a numbered marker on each affected device and colour it red, amber or green.
Write each finding
Add a stratum to each marker with the severity, evidence, impact, fix and effort.
Present and share
Walk the client through it, then share the blueprint so they can return to any finding.
FAQ
Questions about network assessments
Is this network assessment tool free?
Drawing the network, the findings and their strata is free on the Personal plan. Network discovery with Continuum Local is part of Enterprise, and presenting with Podium needs Premium.
What should a network assessment report include?
The network as found, each finding with its severity, evidence, impact and recommended fix, the effort to fix it, what is already done well, and the order to fix things in.
Does Blueprintr scan the network for vulnerabilities?
No. Blueprintr does not run vulnerability scans. On Enterprise, Continuum Local discovers devices, links, VLANs and routing over SNMP; findings and their evidence are written by your engineers.
How should I rate the severity of findings?
Keep the scale short and define it once. The example uses high for a risk of outage or breach, medium for a weakness to fix this quarter and green for good practice, explained in the summary.
Can I give the client a copy of the assessment?
Yes. Share the blueprint privately with the client, or export the diagram as a PDF and the blueprint as a zip with every finding as markdown.
Can I reuse the structure for the next assessment?
Yes. Save the blueprint as an organisation template; each new assessment starts with the same markers, key and summary table.
