PingKit for IT Consultants & MSPs
A different network every visit, a different problem every time. PingKit doesn't remember any of it between clients - no shared dashboard, no login your team logs into - it just gives you fast, accurate diagnostics on whatever network you're standing on right now, plus certificate monitoring and compliance evidence that scale across every client you support.
The Tools You'll Reach For
| Situation | PingKit tool |
|---|---|
| Walking into an unfamiliar client network | LAN Scanner |
| Diagnosing "the WiFi is slow" on-site | WiFi Analyzer, Speed Test |
| Confirming a firewall rule or port forward after a change | Port Scanner |
| A client's service is throwing errors | HTTP Analyzer |
| Tracking TLS cert expiry across every client domain | Cert Monitor (Guardian Plus) |
| Handing a client evidence for their own audit | Compliance Export (Guardian Plus) |
One App, Every Client's Network
PingKit's on-demand tools - LAN Scanner, Port Scanner, WiFi Analyzer, DNS Lookup, and the rest of the 19 - work on whatever network you're currently connected to, with no setup and no per-network limit. Walk into a client site, join their WiFi, and start diagnosing. There's no persistent per-client record built up behind the scenes - PingKit syncs privately to your own devices via your own iCloud account, not a shared team dashboard, so worth knowing upfront if you were picturing a multi-seat platform.
Cert Monitor Across Every Client Domain
Guardian Plus adds continuous TLS certificate monitoring for up to 25 domains per device, checked hourly, with alerts at 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before expiry. Mixing several clients' domains into one list works fine for a solo consultant or small team tracking a manageable book of business - PingKit doesn't group them by client, so for a large roster you'd still want your own naming convention to keep track of whose domain is whose.
Compliance Evidence Without a Spreadsheet
When a client needs evidence for their own ISO 27001:2022 review, Guardian Plus's Compliance Export produces a timestamped PDF of your certificate monitoring, mapped to specific controls - see the full ISO 27001 evidence guide for exactly what it covers. It's a PDF you hand over, not a client-facing portal they log into themselves.
What this isn't: a multi-user MSP platform with client accounts, role-based access, or a central dashboard. PingKit is a personal diagnostic toolkit that happens to work identically well on your fifth client site as your first - not infrastructure for running a team of technicians against a shared client list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my whole team see the same PingKit dashboard?
No. PingKit syncs privately across your own devices via your personal iCloud account - each consultant needs their own device and, for Guardian features, their own subscription.
Is there a limit on how many client networks I can scan?
No. The on-demand tools work on any network with no client or network count limit. Only Cert Monitor's 25-domain cap (Guardian Plus) is limited.
Can I give a client evidence from PingKit for their own compliance review?
Yes - Compliance Export (Guardian Plus) produces a timestamped PDF you can hand to a client directly.
