Network Optimisation

A reliable network that keeps your business secure

Reliable Wi-Fi coverage, properly configured firewalls and secure remote access. We provide structured networking for small and medium businesses with security built in from the start.

The reality

What we find in most small business networks

Many small business networks were set up quickly and haven't been looked over since. They tend to cope with daily use, but weaknesses often go unnoticed until something goes wrong.

The issues below are common, fixable, and often the exact things an attacker would look for first.

⚠One flat network where every device can see each other, with nothing separating them
⚠Router passwords still set to the factory defaults
⚠Guest Wi-Fi on the same network as internal systems and file servers
⚠Remote access set up through insecure methods or consumer tools that aren't designed for business use
⚠Dead zones in office coverage, leaving staff to hotspot from their phones instead of using the office network
⚠No firewall rules in place, so all outbound traffic is allowed and inbound traffic is barely restricted
What we do

Network support across every layer

We look after every layer of your network, from Wi-Fi coverage and firewall rules through to remote access.

📶

Wi-Fi design & coverage

Wireless coverage planned around your office layout, with suitable hardware and separate networks for staff, guests and IoT devices.

🔒

Firewall configuration

Boundary firewalls configured with rules that reflect how your business actually works, replacing default settings that were never reviewed.

🌐

Secure remote access

VPN setup for remote staff, giving them access to what they need while keeping your internal network protected.

🏗️

Network segmentation

Traffic is separated where it matters. Guest Wi-Fi is isolated from internal systems, IoT devices sit on their own network, and servers are properly protected.

📊

Performance & reliability

If your connection is slow or unreliable, we'll track down the cause, whether that's hardware, your ISP, a configuration fault or limited bandwidth.

🛡️

Cyber Essentials alignment

Your network configuration is a core part of Cyber Essentials. We ensure firewall rules, remote access, and Wi-Fi setup meet the certification requirements.

How a typical engagement works

Most network projects follow the same four-step pattern — review, recommend, implement, verify.

01 — Network review

We start by mapping your current setup, including your hardware, how it's configured and where the gaps are.

02 — Recommendations

You'll receive a clear plan showing what should change, what needs replacing and what can stay as it is. We only recommend upgrades that are genuinely needed.

03 — Implementation

We then carry out the work, which can include configuring hardware, setting up VLANs, installing access points and tightening firewall rules.

04 — Verification

Before we leave, we test coverage, connectivity and segmentation, and document everything we've put in place.

Project scope and pricing depends on your current setup and what needs to change. Book a call and we'll give you an honest assessment.

Not confident your network is set up correctly?
