Guided Asset Discovery and Training
Discuss Guided Discovery and Training
Tell me where your records are incomplete and who could help investigate. I’ll suggest a suitable scope and next steps.
Useful starting points:
- Whether you need help with SaaS subscriptions, devices, infrastructure or a combination.
- Your approximate staff numbers, locations and main platforms.
- Any existing asset records or management tools.
- Who manages your IT and who would attend the sessions.
Before you sendPlease don’t include passwords, credentials, or other sensitive information in an initial enquiry. If we need to share anything sensitive, we’ll agree a secure way to do it.
Find the Systems and Subscriptions Missing From Your Records.
Unrecorded laptops. Old routers. SaaS subscriptions bought by individual teams. I’ll guide you through the records and checks that help uncover them, then show your team how to maintain a more useful asset register.

Discuss Discovery Support- RONIN / ASSET DISCOVERY
- INDEPENDENT CONSULTANCY
Give Your Team a Practical Way to Find What’s Missing.
Some assets can be discovered from outside your organisation. Others need information from your people, providers and internal records. This service helps your team gather that evidence, reconcile discrepancies and build a repeatable process.
- Included
SaaS and Subscription Discovery
Work through relevant purchasing records, supplier invoices, expense entries and identity-provider application lists to identify services that may be missing from your register. Your authorised staff review the records and share only the relevant information.
- Included
Devices and Infrastructure
Compare device-management records, purchasing lists, network equipment records and provider inventories. Use guided checks to identify laptops, phones, routers and other equipment that needs recording or investigation.
- Included
Ownership and Reconciliation
Bring the evidence together, identify duplicates and gaps, and clarify who owns or manages each asset. Record uncertain matches and unanswered questions rather than treating assumptions as confirmed facts.
- Included
Training and Ongoing Upkeep
Learn how to record new assets, handle supplier and staff changes, review subscriptions and retire old systems. Agree a practical review routine and who is responsible for keeping it going.
The £699 Internet-Facing Asset Inventory includes a self-discovery guide. This separately scoped service adds guided sessions, help interpreting your records and practical training for your team. You can also book it directly without buying another Ronin service.
How It Works
Start with what you know, gather useful evidence and work through the gaps together.
Depending on scope, useful starting points may include an existing asset register, relevant supplier and subscription records, identity-provider application lists, device-management exports, cloud resource inventories and MSP equipment lists. Incomplete records are fine. We’ll identify what is useful before asking you to gather it.
Your team or provider performs internal checks and supplies authorised records. Any direct technical discovery, account access or changes to systems must be separately agreed within the scope.
Choose the Focus
Agree which teams, systems, subscriptions or equipment categories need attention.
Prepare the Records
Receive a tailored checklist of useful information and agree a secure way to share relevant extracts.
Investigate Together
Work through the evidence with your nominated staff or IT provider, identifying discrepancies and follow-up questions.
Update the Register
Consolidate the agreed records, mark uncertainties and assign follow-up actions.
Make It Repeatable
Show your team how to maintain the register and agree a practical review routine.

Questions, Answered Plainly
Common questions about Ronin’s Guided Asset Discovery and Training.
How is this different from the Internet-Facing Asset Inventory?
The inventory focuses on your external footprint and includes a self-discovery guide. This service provides guided help with internal devices, SaaS subscriptions and organisational records, plus training on maintaining the register.
Do we need to buy the inventory first?
No. This service can be booked directly. If you already have a Ronin inventory or another asset register, we can use it as a starting point.
Will you find every device and subscription?
No discovery method can guarantee complete coverage. Results depend on the agreed scope, available records and participation from your team and providers. We document gaps and uncertainties so they can be followed up.
What information will we need?
We agree a tailored checklist. It may include relevant supplier and subscription records, application lists, device-management exports, cloud inventories and provider records. We only need information relevant to the agreed work.
Do you need our passwords or unrestricted access?
Please don’t send passwords. Your authorised staff can usually gather the relevant records or demonstrate them during a session. Any direct access must be agreed separately and limited to what the work requires.
Can our MSP or IT team take part?
Yes. Their knowledge and records can help establish ownership, explain discrepancies and make the ongoing process practical.
What will we receive?
The proposal defines the outputs. These can include an updated asset register for the agreed areas, a list of unresolved gaps and actions, tailored checklists and training sessions for the people maintaining it.
Will you cancel subscriptions or remove equipment?
Not as part of this service unless explicitly agreed. We help identify assets and questions to investigate; your organisation approves any cancellation, removal or change after checking dependencies and business needs.
Is this security testing?
No. Finding and recording an asset does not establish whether it is secure. Configuration reviews, penetration testing and remediation can be scoped separately.
How much does it cost?
The fee depends on the areas covered, the records available, the help needed and the number of sessions. We agree the scope, outputs and price before you commit, with VAT added where applicable.
