FAQs

What is a managed firewall?

A managed firewall is a security service where our experts take over the configuration, maintenance, and constant monitoring of your firewall. Instead of just "plugging in" a piece of hardware, a managed firewall involves a dedicated team ensuring that only safe, authorised traffic enters your business network while blocking malicious threats like hackers, malware, and unauthorised access attempts.



What's the difference between having a firewall and having it managed?

An unmanaged firewall is often "set and forget" — patches and updates may go unaddressed, leaving your business exposed as new threats emerge. A managed firewall means active, 24/7 oversight, ensuring firmware, patches, and configurations are always optimised against the latest threats.

What does managed firewall monitoring include?

Our managed firewall monitoring delivers real-time intrusion prevention, web content filtering to block malicious sites, traffic analysis to flag unusual activity, regular hardware health checks, and clear reporting on blocked threats — giving you comprehensive visibility and protection across your network.

How does a managed firewall support Cyber Essentials compliance?

Firewalls are a "Core Control" for Cyber Essentials Certification. To pass, you must prove that your firewall is properly configured, that default passwords have been changed, and that all unnecessary "ports" are closed to the internet. A managed service makes this easy: we provide the documentation and technical configuration required to meet these strict standards. We ensure your "boundary" is secure, which is the very first thing an auditor looks for during the accreditation process.

How much does a managed firewall service cost?

The cost typically depends on the size of your business and the volume of internet traffic you handle. We generally offer this as a fixed monthly service, which covers the hardware, the licensing for security updates, and our expert management time. This model avoids the high upfront capital costs of buying expensive enterprise-grade hardware and ensures your security is always an affordable, predictable operational expense.
