Network security here means the office gateway, the guest Wi-Fi, and a written list of who may reach which server. It is designed around the site, not a generic checklist.
If the edge is still a home router, the first job is a firewall. The VPN pages cover the tunnels that sit on top of it.
What the job includes
- A firewall the office controls, sized to the line
- Staff and guests on separate networks
- A list of servers and ports that are allowed
- A note of what was already open, and what we closed
- A review after the first month of real use
From the first visit to handover
