See what someone on the outside can see—before it causes a problem
If someone tried to look into your network from the outside today, what would they notice?
This External Network Security Assessment helps small and mid-sized organizations understand which parts of their network are visible from the internet. It gives leaders a clearer picture of potential risks so they can decide what actually needs attention—and what doesn’t.

This is an outside‑in visibility review—not a penetration test and not a full security audit.
A Practical, Outside-In Review
Intelligent Technologies has helped small and mid-sized businesses make thoughtful technology decisions since 1991. While managed IT services are a newer part of our work, our focus has always been the same: making sure technology supports actual business needs.
Our team’s experience spans ERP systems, financial software, infrastructure, and security. That range allows us to look at security issues in context—without exaggeration, scare tactics, or unnecessary technical detail.
You get a realistic view of risk instead of a confusing list of warnings.
What This Assessment Is
A limited review of what your network looks like from the outside
Performed remotely
Focused on what someone could see or reach without internal access
Intended to highlight common or often overlooked areas of exposure
What This Assessment Is Not
An open-ended consulting engagement
A deep or all-inclusive security review
An internal systems analysis
Fixes, changes, or hands-on technical work
Why a Free External Network Assessment Matters
Many organizations assume basic protections mean they’re covered. In reality, outside access points and configuration choices often matter more than what’s installed on individual computers.
Yet, security decisions are often driven by headlines or vendor pressure, which makes it hard to know what truly deserves attention.
This assessment gives you a straightforward look at what your organization is showing to the outside world. So your decisions are based on what’s real, not guesswork.
You can focus effort and budget where it’s most likely to help.
What You’ll Get in from the Assessment
This review is intentionally focused and practical. It provides:
A clear picture
of what’s visible from outside your network
Identification of potential weak spots
that may be more exposed than intended
Help thinking through
what may deserve attention first, based on your situation
A common question before the assessment is: “Where should we start?” This review supports that decision.
Scope, Boundaries, and Time Limit
This assessment is intentionally limited and clearly defined.
Focused on
outside‑in visibility only
Conducted without
internal system access
Designed to surface
signals and questions, not conclusions
Not intended
to cover every possible security scenario
It does not include fixes, system changes, implementation work, or formal documentation. If the assessment raises issues you want help to address, we discuss that work separately and scope it as a paid engagement.
You get useful insight without open‑ended scope or surprise expectations.
Looking for a more in-depth review?
Some organizations need a deeper look at their security than this assessment provides.
If you are uncertain whether this assessment meets your requirements, or if you prefer a more comprehensive evaluation, you may request a consultation. During this discussion, you can outline your objectives and assess whether we are the right fit.
Consultations are conducted by William Weathersby, President of Intelligent Technologies. The primary focus of these sessions is to gain a thorough understanding of your needs and to determine whether—and how—Intelligent Technologies can support your goals.
