Services
Nine service areas. One engineering-focused partner.
From network architecture to breach detection — Frodingham Consulting provides the technical depth businesses need across every layer of network and security operations.
When you need this
You're building from scratch, expanding beyond your current architecture's limits, or taking over infrastructure that was never properly designed.
- ▶LAN / WAN architecture
- ▶SD-WAN design and deployment
- ▶Cloud network interconnects
- ▶High availability and redundancy
- ▶Network lifecycle management
- ▶Capacity planning and optimisation
Your network is the foundation everything runs on. Outages, bottlenecks, and scaling failures trace back to architectural decisions made — or avoided — years earlier. We design, build, and deliver infrastructure that performs under real conditions and leaves your team in full control of what was built.
We work with MSPs and ISPs who need engineering resource for complex network projects, and with businesses that need a reliable foundation to grow from.
When you need this
Your network wasn't originally designed with security in mind — or you've never formally mapped your attack surface.
- ▶Threat modelling and risk assessment
- ▶Network segmentation and micro-segmentation
- ▶Zero-trust architecture
- ▶Access control and identity enforcement
- ▶Security posture management
- ▶Vulnerability assessment
Security bolted on after the fact is security that fails when it matters. Frodingham Consulting delivers end-to-end security architecture — threat modelling, segmentation, zero-trust implementation, and access control — built into the network from the start, not layered on top of it.
We partner with MSPs who want to offer security-led networking, and with businesses who understand that a breach is a matter of when, not if.
When you need this
You have a compliance obligation, a client asking for evidence of security maturity, or a feeling that your current posture doesn't match your actual risk exposure.
- ▶ISO 27001 gap analysis
- ▶NIST CSF assessment
- ▶CIS Controls review
- ▶ASD Essential Eight maturity
- ▶Remediation planning
- ▶Ongoing compliance monitoring
A compliance framework tells you what to achieve. An audit tells you where you actually stand — and what you need to do to close the gap. Our audits are aligned to ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and ASD Essential Eight. They produce remediation plans tied to real business risk, not reports that sit unread.
For organisations preparing for certification, responding to client due diligence, or managing ongoing compliance obligations — we provide the structure and expertise to do it properly.
When you need this
You're pursuing government or enterprise contracts that require certification as a condition of engagement — or a client has asked for credentials your business doesn't yet hold.
- ▶Cyber Essentials preparation
- ▶Cyber Essentials Plus support
- ▶Australian certification schemes
- ▶Pre-assessment gap review
- ▶Documentation and evidence preparation
- ▶Post-certification maintenance
Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, and equivalent Australian schemes are increasingly prerequisites, not differentiators. Without them, you're excluded from procurement processes before the conversation begins. We prepare organisations for certification, manage the assessment process, and ensure every technical and documentary requirement is met.
This isn't a box-ticking exercise. It's a structured process that results in a credential your clients and procurement teams accept.
When you need this
Your firewall was inherited, hasn't been formally reviewed in over a year, or you've made rule changes reactively without a structured cleanup.
- ▶Full rule set analysis
- ▶Policy and configuration review
- ▶Exposure and risk identification
- ▶Redundancy and bloat removal
- ▶Remediation planning and implementation
- ▶Ongoing change management support
Most firewall rule sets are years of accumulated reactive changes — redundant rules, over-permissive policies, configurations that were never reviewed. You almost certainly have exposure you're not aware of. Our audit process is methodical and complete: every rule reviewed, every exposure documented, a remediated policy implemented.
The result is a firewall that does what a firewall should do — blocks what it should block, allows what it should allow, and leaves no ambiguity about either.
When you need this
You don't have a clear picture of what a breach would look like on your network — or you're not confident you'd detect one within an acceptable timeframe.
- ▶Proactive threat hunting
- ▶SIEM configuration and review
- ▶Log analysis and correlation
- ▶Incident investigation
- ▶Alert threshold optimisation
- ▶Security monitoring strategy
The median time to detect a breach is over 200 days. At that point, the damage is already done. Frodingham Consulting provides proactive threat hunting, SIEM configuration, log analysis, and monitoring designed to identify compromise before it becomes a headline.
We help organisations build the monitoring posture, alert thresholds, and response procedures that give a genuine chance of catching an attacker early.
When you need this
You've outgrown your current routing architecture, you're expanding capacity, or you need to add capabilities that your current team doesn't have the specialist depth for.
- ▶BGP routing and peering
- ▶MPLS design and implementation
- ▶Network automation
- ▶Infrastructure-as-code
- ▶Protocol optimisation
- ▶ISP-grade routing architecture
Growing infrastructure needs new capabilities engineered into it, not patched around it. Frodingham Consulting builds advanced routing, BGP peering, MPLS, automation pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code implementations that bring modern operational practices to your environment.
For ISPs in particular, we provide the specialist routing and protocol expertise that is genuinely difficult to find and expensive to retain in-house.
When you need this
You're running a technical project with complexity, external dependencies, or client visibility — and you need it delivered on time by someone who takes full ownership.
- ▶Technical project delivery
- ▶Stakeholder management
- ▶Migration and cutover planning
- ▶Risk and change management
- ▶Vendor coordination
- ▶Reporting and governance
Technical projects fail because of people and process, not technology. Frodingham Consulting provides senior-led technical project management that keeps complex rollouts, migrations, and infrastructure upgrades on time and on budget — with full stakeholder visibility throughout.
We embed in your team, not alongside it. Practical, outcome-focused, and accountable for delivery from kick-off to handover.
When you need this
You need senior engineering depth consistently — across a project cycle, for a client account, or to fill a capability gap without committing to permanent headcount.
- ▶Retained engineering resource
- ▶Embedded team integration
- ▶Technical advisory
- ▶On-demand senior expertise
- ▶Cross-discipline coverage
- ▶White-label delivery capability
You need the depth of a senior network or security engineer for the duration of a significant piece of work. You don't need — and can't justify — the permanent hire that follows it. Frodingham Consulting's retained model gives you direct access to experienced engineers embedded in your team: involved in planning, delivery, and decisions.
This works particularly well for MSPs who want to offer senior resource to clients on demand, and for ISPs managing ongoing infrastructure development.
