What We Do
Secure Networking and Security as a Journey
Modern organisations depend on highly connected networks spanning users, devices, branches, data centres, cloud platforms, and applications.
Security and networking can no longer be treated as separate disciplines — failures often occur at their intersection.
Our services are designed as a structured journey that helps organisations assess risk, design secure and scalable network architectures, implement improvements, and continuously strengthen both networking and security posture over time.
Assess
Assess Network Security Posture
Understand Network and Security Risk End-to-End
We begin by building clarity around your existing network and security landscape.
Our assessments focus on identifying real-world risk across connectivity, access, and control planes, not isolated configuration issues.
What we assess
- Network & security posture assessment
Holistic assessment of enterprise or service provider networks, including campus, WAN, data centre, and cloud connectivity, alongside security controls and operational processes. - SD-WAN / WAN architecture assessment
Review of existing WAN or SD-WAN designs, routing models, segmentation, performance, resilience, and security integration. - SD-Access / campus network assessment
Evaluation of campus network architectures, policy enforcement models, identity integration, segmentation, and operational readiness. - Cloud & network risk assessment
Assessment of hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity, routing, access models, and security controls that impact availability, exposure, and performance. - Zero Trust readiness assessment
Evaluation of identity, access, segmentation, and policy enforcement across network and cloud environments.
Outcome
- Clear visibility into network and security risk
- Identification of architectural and operational gaps
- Prioritised findings aligned to business impact
Design
Design Secure Network Architectures
Design Secure, Scalable Network Architectures
Using assessment insights, we design networking and security architectures that are resilient, scalable, and operable.
Our designs balance connectivity, performance, and security, ensuring that networks remain secure without becoming fragile or overly complex.
What we design
- Secure network architecture & roadmap
Target-state architectures and phased roadmaps covering campus, WAN, data centre, and cloud connectivity. - SD-WAN architecture design
Design of SD-WAN solutions focused on resilience, segmentation, traffic steering, and integrated security. - SD-Access / campus architecture design
Architecture for policy-based campus networks, integrating identity, segmentation, and operational simplicity. - Hybrid cloud connectivity design
Secure and scalable connectivity models between on-premises networks and cloud environments. - Identity-centric and Zero Trust design
Designs that embed identity, access control, and segmentation into network and security decisions.
Outcome
- Clearly defined target network and security architecture
- Practical, phased implementation roadmap
- Designs that can be operated effectively by internal teams
Implement
Implement Secure Network Systems
Implement Secure Networking and Security Improvements
We support the implementation of agreed network and security designs using a phased, low-risk approach.
Implementation is guided by architecture and operational readiness, not just product deployment.
What we implement
- SD-WAN deployment and migration
Implementation or migration to SD-WAN solutions with minimal disruption to business operations. - SD-Access and campus network implementation
Deployment of policy-based campus networks, including identity integration and segmentation. - Secure WAN, data centre, and cloud networking
Implementation of secure connectivity across enterprise and service provider environments. - Security control implementation
Deployment and integration of network security controls aligned to the agreed architecture. - Zero Trust rollout (phased)
Step-by-step implementation of identity-driven access and segmentation across networks and cloud environments.
Outcome
- Secure, resilient networks delivered predictably
- Reduced operational complexity
- Improved visibility and control across environments
Operate (Early / Evolving)
Operate & Improve Continuously
Operate and Continuously Improve Networks and Security
Networks and security controls require continuous attention as environments evolve.
Our operating services help organisations maintain performance, security, and visibility while adapting to new business requirements.
What we offer (evolving)
- Managed network and security services
Ongoing operational support for selected network and security components. - Network and security posture monitoring
Periodic reviews of network health, configuration drift, and security posture. - Operational advisory / virtual CISO (future)
Strategic guidance to help leadership teams align networking and security investments with business goals.
Outcome
- Improved stability and resilience
- Reduced firefighting and reactive work
- A long-term partner for secure networking and security operations
How this helps organisations
- Secure, scalable network foundations
- Reduced risk at network and security boundaries
- Better performance without sacrificing security
- Architectures that evolve with the business
