Network, firewall & VPN

A fast, reliable office network with a firewall that’s actually looked after. We design, set up and manage networks with Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet FortiGate, Cisco and MikroTik equipment.

What’s included

What we look after

  • Firewalls

    Firewalls from Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet FortiGate, Cisco and MikroTik, configured, updated and reviewed, not left on factory settings.

  • Secure remote access

    VPN access for staff working from home or on site, protected with multi-factor sign-in.

  • Office Wi-Fi

    Wi-Fi that reaches every corner, with a separate guest network that keeps visitors away from company systems.

  • Switching and cabling

    Switches, cabling and network layout planned for moves, new offices and growth.

  • Separate networks

    Office computers, phones, printers, cameras and production equipment kept on separate networks, so one problem can’t spread everywhere.

  • Certificates

    SSL/TLS certificates tracked and renewed before they expire. Public certificates now last at most 200 days, falling to 47 days by 2029.

Common problems

Sounds familiar?

If any of these describe your office, it’s worth a conversation.

  • The firewall was installed years ago and nobody has logged in since.
  • Wi-Fi drops in meeting rooms or the back of the office.
  • Guests and staff share the same Wi-Fi password.
  • Remote access is a password-only VPN, or a remote-desktop port open to the internet.
  • An expired certificate has taken a website or system offline.

How it works

How we get you there

  1. Step 1: Survey

    We review your firewall, network equipment, Wi-Fi coverage and remote access, and document how it all connects.

  2. Step 2: Secure and fix

    Firmware updated, risky settings closed, networks separated and weak spots fixed or replaced where it’s worth it.

  3. Step 3: Monitor and maintain

    Ongoing updates, configuration backups and reviews, and one team to call when the internet or network misbehaves.

Questions

Common questions

Which firewall brand should we use?

It depends on your size, how many people work remotely and what you need to protect. We work with Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet FortiGate, Cisco and MikroTik, and recommend what fits rather than one brand for everyone.

Can you work with the equipment we already have?

Usually, yes. If your equipment is still supported and receiving security updates, we configure and manage it. If it’s past end of life, we explain the risk and the options.

Do you help when we move offices?

Yes. We plan the internet connection, cabling, Wi-Fi and firewall for the new space and handle the move so your team is working on day one.
