Open-AudIT Expert Jumpstart - Network Discovery Architecture Session

Deploying Open-AudIT effectively depends on decisions made early: where to place collectors, how to structure your network discovery ranges, which credentialing approach suits your device mix, and how to configure scanning schedules that keep your asset inventory accurate without overloading your network.

This 60-minute live session puts you directly in front of an Open-AudIT expert to answer exactly those questions, tailored to your environment, your scale, and your compliance requirements.

Environment and scale review
Your network topology, device types, and operating system mix are reviewed so every recommendation is calibrated to your infrastructure - not a generic template. Bring your network ranges, device counts, and any known complexity (multi-site, air-gapped segments, cloud-hybrid environments) and your expert will account for all of it.

Discovery and collector architecture design
Collector placement, scanning ranges, network segmentation, and discovery scheduling are designed to deliver complete, accurate device coverage. You will leave the session with a clear collector architecture plan suited to your environment - whether you are running a single-site deployment or a distributed multi-site environment.

Credentialing plan tailored to your device mix
Discovery credentials are the most common point of failure in Open-AudIT deployments. Your expert will design a credentialing approach for your specific device mix - SNMP v1, v2c, or v3 for network devices; WMI for Windows endpoints; SSH for Linux and Unix systems; and agent-based discovery where applicable - so discovery succeeds from day one.

Compliance and reporting scope alignment
Your compliance requirements (ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, internal IT policy, or others) are reviewed and mapped to Open-AudIT's reporting capabilities. You will know exactly which audit scripts to run, which report templates to configure, and how to structure your asset data for meaningful compliance output.

Q&A on your specific infrastructure
The remaining session time is yours. Bring your most pressing deployment questions - integrations, custom audit scripts, ITSM or CMDB connectivity, or anything else your team needs to move forward confidently.

This session is designed for:

• IT managers and network engineers who are planning a production Open-AudIT deployment on AWS and want expert input on architecture decisions before committing to a configuration
• Enterprise teams preparing to onboard Open-AudIT at scale - 2,000+ devices across multiple sites or business units
• Managed service providers designing repeatable Open-AudIT environments for their customer base, who want a fast, expert-validated architecture blueprint
• Security and compliance teams who need to understand how Open-AudIT maps to their specific compliance frameworks before deployment begins

Sessions are delivered as a 60-minute live video call with an Open-AudIT expert from the FirstWave team. Come prepared with your network topology, device counts, and any specific questions about your environment - the more context you share, the more specific your expert's recommendations can be.

You do not need Open-AudIT installed before the session. This session is designed for planning, not configuration.

If you proceed to an Open-AudIT Enterprise Implementation engagement within 60 days of this session, the session fee is credited toward that engagement. Your expert will document the key architectural recommendations from the session so your implementation team has a clear brief to work from.

This session supports deployment of Open-AudIT, FirstWave's network discovery and IT asset management platform, available on AWS Marketplace. Open-AudIT automatically discovers every device on your network, maintains an accurate asset inventory, audits device configurations, and generates compliance reports against ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, and other frameworks.
