This workshop is a strategic and structured, vendor-neutral conversation about your wireless architecture, wireless security posture, and device readiness.
It delivers a qualitative read of where you stand today built on experience and current wireless standards, along with prioritized recommendations your team can act on.
This is not a technical audit as we don't run scans, install sensors, or log into your access points or controller. The assessment happens entirely through a guided discussion with the people who manage and rely on the network day to day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need access to our network or devices?
No. This is a conversation-based assessment. We don't need configuration access, credentials, or a VPN connection to run the workshop.
Is there an on-site visit?
An on-site visit is not required. The workshop can run remotely or in person, whichever your team prefers.
How long does the whole thing take?
The working session itself typically runs 45 to 60 minutes. While the readout is typically 30 – 60 mins.
What happens after the workshop?
You will receive a scorecard and summary document. If you would like to receive assistance on any of the recommendations, then we can scope a follow-on engagement. However, there is no obligation to continue.
Will this engagement provide me with a heatmap of my enviroment?
No, since this is focused on maturity and strategy a heatmap would be a seprate engagement. However, this could be scoped out separately.
Is this workshop vendor-specific?
No. The recommendation is based on your environment and needs, not on pushing a particular AP vendor or platform.
What do we need to prepare beforehand?
Nothing formal is required, however knowledge of the current environment in reference to wireless is important.
