Why We Exist

The market for senior technical expertise is broken. We built something to fix it.

Every MSP, ISP, and technology business eventually hits the same wall. A project lands that sits outside the capability of the current team. The options are familiar: hire a permanent engineer at significant cost and overhead, engage a large consultancy that sends a junior at a senior's day rate, or delay and hope the gap doesn't become visible to the client.

The market for senior network and security expertise is structurally broken. Engineers with genuine depth — the kind who have designed ISP-grade BGP topologies, built OT/IT isolation in live production environments, or taken a bank through PCI-DSS v4.0 — exist inside large enterprises or have priced themselves out of the mid-market entirely. The consultancies that employ them have built delivery models optimised for large engagements, not the focused, high-stakes work that mid-market businesses actually need.

Frodingham Consulting was built to close that gap. You get senior engineering depth on the work that requires it — without the recruitment overhead, the bench time, or the long-term employment cost. A senior engineer who has solved this problem before, who takes full ownership of the outcome, and who hands it back in a state your team can actually operate.

Sound Familiar?

If any of these describe your situation, we should talk.

These are the exact problems Frodingham Consulting was built to solve.

A client has asked for Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 and your team doesn't have the compliance background to deliver it.

You've inherited a firewall configuration from someone who left — no one is entirely sure what the rules actually do.

You've won a contract that requires senior network engineering, and the seniority required isn't in your current team.

Your last security audit produced a detailed report. Months later, most of it is still unactioned.

You're entering the UK or Australian market and don't know the compliance landscape, procurement process, or who to approach.

You need to scale your routing architecture but BGP and MPLS expertise is expensive to recruit and even harder to retain.

Core Service Areas

The technical capability your business needs

View All Services →

01

Network Infrastructure

Your network is the foundation your clients' uptime depends on. Poorly architected infrastructure means outages, bottlenecks, and the post-midnight calls that end client relationships.

02

Network Security

Security bolted on after the fact is security that fails. If your network wasn't designed with a threat model, you have exposure you haven't mapped yet.

03

Security Audit & Compliance

A framework tells you what to aim for. An audit tells you how far from it you actually are — with a remediation plan your team can act on, not a report that sits in a drawer.

04

Cyber Certifications

Government and enterprise procurement increasingly requires certifications before you're even considered. Without them, you're out of the conversation before it starts.

05

Firewall Auditing

Most rule sets are years of accumulated changes with no structured review. Redundant rules, over-permissive policies. You probably have exposure you don't know about.

06

Breach Detection

The median time to detect a breach is over 200 days. By then, the damage is done. We build the monitoring posture that catches an attacker before it becomes a headline.

07

Network Development

Growing infrastructure needs new capability engineered into it — BGP, MPLS, automation, infrastructure-as-code. The specialist work that takes a network from functional to scalable.

08

Project Management

Technical projects fail because of people and process, not technology. Complex rollouts need someone who has done this before and takes full ownership of the outcome.

09

Dedicated Consulting

You need senior engineering depth for the duration of a major project. You can't justify the permanent headcount beyond it. That's the gap Frodingham exists to fill.

What Every Engagement Produces

Actionable output,
not advisory opinion.

We don't write recommendations and leave. Every Frodingham engagement ends with your team holding documented, tested, operational infrastructure — and the capability to run it from day one.

01

Senior engineer assigned immediately

Not a sales rep. Not an account manager. The person you brief on day one is the person doing the work.

02

Problem scoped before solutions are discussed

We define what needs doing and why before any tooling or approach is agreed. Scope first, then engagement model.

03

Full delivery ownership

Design, build, configure, test. We don't drop requirements documents and disappear. We own the outcome.

04

Complete handover — your team runs it independently

Documented environment, operational runbook, team walkthrough. You are not dependent on us to keep the lights on.

You receive on every engagement

Topology diagram and asset register
Risk-prioritised findings with effort estimates
Remediation plan — critical to medium, sequenced
Compliance evidence pack where applicable

Engagement Model

Three ways to work with us.

Discuss your situation →

01

Partner Program

Best for: MSPs and ISPs

Consistent access to senior engineering resource across your client base. We operate in the background — delivering under your brand where required, filling capability gaps your team doesn't have in-house, and making you able to win clients that would otherwise be out of reach.

  • Monthly retainer, defined scope
  • White-label delivery available
  • Direct engineer access from day one
  • No intermediaries or account managers
Talk about a partnership →

02

Ad-hoc Engagement

Best for: Specific projects and one-off requirements

For a firewall review, security audit, compliance gap assessment, or any defined scope of work. No retainer required, no minimum commitment. Engage for the work that needs doing, at the seniority the problem actually demands.

  • No retainer or minimum term
  • Fixed-scope or time-and-materials
  • Typical duration: 1 day to 6 weeks
  • Deliverables defined upfront
Discuss a one-off engagement →

03

Project Delivery

Best for: Defined technical projects needing full ownership

We take full responsibility for a defined project — design, build, configure, test, document, handover. A senior engineer embedded in your environment for the duration. You receive the infrastructure and the capability to run it independently.

  • Senior-led from kick-off to handover
  • Full design, build, and documentation
  • Operational runbook and team training
  • Your team owns it from day one

Why Frodingham Consulting

What makes us different from every other consultancy

01

Senior engineers. Not account managers.

Every engagement is handled by engineers who have delivered the same class of problem in the field. No intermediaries. No juniors billed at senior rates.

02

We only do one thing.

Network infrastructure and cybersecurity — nothing else. That focus means our engineers are genuinely deep, not spread across a portfolio of adjacent services.

03

Built around MSPs and ISPs.

We are not chasing enterprise contracts. Our model is built around managed service and internet service providers who need a real technical partner, not a vendor.

04

Outcomes, not outputs.

We measure success by what your team can operate after we leave — not by the volume of documentation, the length of the engagement, or the size of the report.
