A Proven Way to Winning More New Business

Performing network and security assessments is a market-proven way to attract and win new customers as well as effectively grow your existing customer base. When performed properly, network and security assessments can uncover risks and alert your customers to potential problems with their IT infrastructure before any work begins.

Typically, a thorough network assessment involves a combination of people performing tedious and time consuming customer interviews, data collection, data analysis, report generation and recommendations. Even a small customer can consume a day's worth of work preparing a comprehensive and professional report, making it hard to justify the effort and expense.

Continuum Network Detective - fast, comprehensive and accurate reports

Continuum Network Detective software automates manual network and security assessments and produces branded Client Risk Reports that will help you win new business. Network Detective is also a great tool to use with your existing customers by providing a periodic “health check” network assessment and uncovering issues that need to be fixed.

Simply run our non-invasive, small executable file on a computer on the network, and in minutes (for the average-size network), you'll collect all the data about assets, end-user activity and network configurations that could create security or productivity issues for your prospects and customers.

• Run full network and security assessments with no agents and no installs
• Produce comprehensive customized fully branded reports
• Uncover security risks that can bring down a business
• Automated program is far more accurate than any manual process

Each report you run is a new opportunity for another sale

Import the results from the Network Detective scan into our analysis tool included with the software. Customize the file with your own company branding elements.

• Network Site Diagram. For each network scan you can produce a multi-layer visual diagram of the network structure, organized by type of asset. Each asset is displayed with basic identifying information and color-coded by its operational status.
• Asset Detail Report. For each network scan this report provides detailed information on individual assets. The report is ideal for cataloging and documenting the complete settings and configurations for individual workstations and servers.
• External Vulnerabilities Summary. Select the range of IP addresses you want tested, and get a summary of any security holes and warnings.
• Excel Export Report. Export all the asset and configuration data into Excel to create your own custom sorts, analyses, reports and graphs. Add columns of new data such as location info, emergency phone numbers, and customer instructions to make this feature even more valuable.
• Change-Management Report. Compares the data from any two full network scans you've run and only highlights what has changed. Great for discovering new devices, users, trends, and loss detection.
