How I help
Cloudflare help, from first setup to ongoing care
Whether you’re moving onto Cloudflare for the first time or dealing with an attack right now, I can help. I set Cloudflare up correctly and securely, work alongside your team, and stay on hand once it’s live.
Ways to work with me
One-off projects
Onboarding, a review or a fix, quoted up front so you know the cost before I start.
Ongoing care
A retainer for monitoring and regular reviews, or call me when you need me.
What I do
Five ways I can help
From the first move onto Cloudflare to advanced rule tuning, set up to best practice – without breaking your website, or the DNS records your email and other services rely on.
Your Cloudflare, server and website logs in one SIEM I run, hosted in Australia, so threats, problems in the making and risky changes are seen before they become incidents.
More than “is it up?”. Proactive checks on DNS, certificates and your key services, so problems are caught before your customers notice.
Hands-on advice to fine-tune your WAF, CDN and edge security, tailored to your goals and your risk tolerance.
Onboarding
Cloudflare onboarding – planned or in an emergency
I work with businesses of all sizes across Australia and New Zealand, on planned rollouts and on urgent onboarding in the middle of an incident: a DDoS attack, a bot flood or sudden downtime.
From the free plan to Enterprise, the move is planned, tested and safe – without breaking your website, or the DNS records your email and other services rely on.
I help with
- End-to-end Cloudflare setup and migration
- DNS configuration and cutover
- Custom WAF and firewall rule design
- Rate limiting, bot management and origin lockdown
- SSL/TLS setup and HTTPS redirects
- Secure caching and CDN configuration
- Working directly with your IT team or MSP
Working with your team
Alongside your team, not instead of it
I don’t replace your in-house or outsourced IT team – I support it, so your business is ready for everyday changes and for the worst-case scenarios.
I fit in with your change control and approvals, and every change is planned, agreed and documented.
I help with
- Reviewing and documenting your current Cloudflare setup
- Pairing with your developers, sysadmins or MSP on changes
- Change plans with testing and rollback steps
- Runbooks and handover notes your team can maintain
- Incident support alongside your on-call staff
Ongoing help
Once you’re live, I’m still here
Setting Cloudflare up is the start. After go-live I keep helping, so you’re never left on your own when something goes wrong.
For more than fixes, monitoring keeps watch on your DNS, certificates and key services, so problems are caught before your customers notice.
I help with
- Firewall and WAF rule tuning
- DNS record changes
- SSL renewal and certificate handling
- Investigating alerts, logs or blocked traffic
- Service disruptions, misconfigurations or unexpected behaviour
