Security & Risk
Cloudflare Implementation
Implement DNS, proxy, TLS, CDN, WAF, rate limiting, bot controls, caching, and origin protection for websites and APIs.
Cloudflare can improve edge performance and security, while DNS, cache, WAF, and origin configuration must match application behaviour. We introduce controls gradually to keep traffic predictable.
When this service is needed
- Websites or APIs need edge protection and distribution.
- Origins are directly exposed or receive frequent malicious traffic.
- Caching and bandwidth are not optimised.
- DNS migration must avoid service disruption.
Scope
- DNS inventory, TTLs, dependencies, mail records, and migration plans.
- Proxy, SSL/TLS modes, certificates, HSTS, and origin configuration.
- CDN, cache rules, purging, compression, images, and static assets.
- Managed WAF rules, custom rules, rate limits, bots, and access control.
- Origin allowlists, authenticated origins, health, load balancing, and failover.
- Analytics, logs, alerts, testing, exceptions, and rollback.
Security methodology
- Scope and baseline: establish assets, access, exposure, and business function.
- Assessment: collect evidence and validate conditions.
- Prioritisation: evaluate likelihood, impact, effort, and dependencies.
- Remediation: introduce change with backup, checkpoints, and rollback.
- Verification: retest and retain closure evidence.
- Handover: deliver risk registers, exceptions, and maintenance guidance.
Deliverables
- Baselines and validated findings.
- Risk ratings and a prioritised remediation plan.
- Change, exception, and rollback records.
- Retest evidence and control-maintenance guidance.
Intended outcomes
Traffic passes through a safer and more efficient edge, origins are better protected, and policies remain observable and adjustable.
