A Standardised Approach to Securing the Edge, the Cloud and the Remote User.

Better Network Security

We standarise networks from your core to your cloud. This improves visibility and reduces the risk of misconfigurations and mismatched security policies, creating a more secure, better-managed, and cost-effective environment.

Secure Best Practice

We design networks that restrict lateral movement and verify identity to mitigate cyberattacks in any environment. By applying UK security best practices to the cloud, edge, and remote users, we protect your most valuable assets network-wide.

Optimise User Experience

User experience is at the heart of every networking solution we deliver. Whether optimizing on-site Wi-Fi or securing remote access for users on the go, our in-house experts design, implement, and manage it all.

How We Engage

Step 1: Asses

We assess your company and how well aligned you are to NCSC best practices for networks, also identifying areas to improve user experience.

Step 2: Plan

We provide a prioritised roadmap of recommendations to achieve both security best practices and improved user experience.

Step 3: Implement

We help you implement security best practices or new technology, in collaboration with your IT team, providing consulting, design and project services.

Step 4: Manage

We provide regular insights into your security posture as required, proactively managing the new solution and working as an extension of your team to provide the skills and resource you need.

Services

Our expertise spans the technologies and services that make a unified, secure network possible.

Cyber Network Quick Assessment (CNQA)

The CNQA benchmarks your network against NCSC best practice, surfacing the forgotten devices, exposed services and flat network segments that attackers look for. You get an objective view of where you're exposed, a prioritised set of quick wins, and a costed roadmap to a more secure, resilient environment.

Integrated Office Network

Office networking has historically been deployed using disparate vendors for firewalls, switches and Wi-Fi access points, leading to inefficiency in how these systems are managed, reported on and secured. Standardising to a single vendor significantly improves visibility, closes oversight gaps in configuration, and makes the whole environment easier and safer to manage, saving IT teams time, money and resource.

Integrated Cloud Network

Today's network spans private clouds, public clouds and SaaS applications. Standardising security across these locations improves security, increases visibility and simplifies management. Whether delivered as a full SASE solution or as standardised firewalls at the edge of the cloud, marrying up with your on-premise infrastructure, we bring your cloud network under one consistent policy.

SASE

Secure Access Service Edge brings networking and security together in the cloud, replacing a patchwork of point products with a single, identity-aware platform. Whether you adopt the full framework or start with the components that matter most, SASE gives you consistent security and user experience across the cloud, the edge and the remote user.

ZTNA Never trust, always verify

The old model of "trust everyone inside the network" no longer works when your network has no perimeter. Zero Trust assumes no user or device is trusted by default, verifying identity, posture and context every time access is requested. The result is tighter control over who can reach what, limited lateral movement if something does go wrong, and a far smaller blast radius from any cyber incident.

SD-WAN Smart routing across any connection

Traditional WANs were built for an era when applications lived in the data centre. SD-WAN is built for today, where traffic flows to the cloud, to SaaS and between sites in equal measure. By intelligently routing traffic across multiple connectivity types: fixed line, mobile, satellite, SD-WAN delivers better application performance, greater resilience, and the flexibility to add or change sites without re-engineering the network.

Cloud Firewall Security that follows your users

As more of your infrastructure and users sit outside the office, the firewall has to follow them. A cloud firewall delivers consistent security policy wherever your traffic originates, headquarters, branch, home worker or mobile device, without backhauling everything to a central appliance. You get the same level of inspection, threat prevention and control across every environment, managed from a single place.

Firewall Management Services Managed next-gen firewalls, any environment

Hybrid working has turned the office firewall into one component of a much wider security fabric. We deploy and manage next-generation firewalls in any environment: office, data centre or cloud, extending protection to your users wherever they are, on whatever device, under one consistent set of policies.

Cloud Access (Secure Web Gateway / CASB) Secure access to the web & SaaS

Your people use the internet and SaaS applications every day, often outside the protection of the corporate network. Cloud Access secures that traffic in the cloud, filtering web activity, protecting against threats and giving you visibility and control over how sanctioned, and unsanctioned, SaaS apps are being used. It closes one of the biggest blind spots in the modern network: what your users are actually doing once they leave the office.

Internet Connectivity

Whether it's a fixed line, mobile or satellite requirement, Formation Tech works with the leading carriers to provide the best and most cost-effective service available.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is a critical business system. We design and install high-performing wireless networks using predictive modelling, on-site surveys, and live validation to ensure they work from day one. Got an existing network that's not cutting it? We can take a look and give you a clear plan to get it back on track.
