Services
Consulting and advisory
Hands-on advice to fine-tune your WAF, CDN and edge security, tailored to your goals and your risk tolerance. I work alongside your team – reviewing, planning and pairing on changes – not instead of it.
At a glance
Who it’s for
In-house IT teams, MSPs and developers who run Cloudflare and want an experienced second pair of eyes.
Plans
Free, Pro, Business and Enterprise.
Cost
One-off reviews quoted up front, or a retainer for regular reviews.
How we work together
Within your change control and approvals. Every change planned, agreed and documented.
Ways I help
Reviews, plans and a second opinion
Setup review
I review and document your current Cloudflare setup, then tell you in plain English what to fix first, and why.
Change planning
Change plans with testing and rollback steps, written to fit your change control – and a second opinion before a risky change goes in.
Pairing on changes
I work through changes with your developers, sysadmins or MSP, so your team knows what changed and why.
After an incident
I help you work out what happened, put fixes in place, and plan so it’s less likely – and less painful – next time.
What’s included
Alongside your team, not instead of it
I don’t replace your in-house or outsourced IT team – I support it. I fit in with how you already work: your change control, your approvals and your maintenance windows.
And I’ll tell you what you actually need, even when that means less work for me.
